    Humanitarian catastrophe on the Salween River

    Oped, Pianporn Deetes, Published on 19/06/2021

    » 'I can't figure it out. Thai officials told us to leave and [we'll] probably have to end up living in the forest. We need to squeeze ourselves among the cracks of the ravines to keep ourselves safe from airstrikes by the Myanmar army," Naw Lay Bue, a Karen housewife with her three-month-old baby in her arms, told me in an interview in March, a few days after she and other villagers fled to Thailand following air raids launched by the Myanmar army in Karen State.

    An Olympic-sized Covid-19 risk

    Oped, Published on 18/06/2021
