Zomi says:
The State Peace (or Hostility?) and Development (Impoverishment?) Council,
instead of reducing the multiple problems already existing, has been
creating new problems.
Is this a sign of the end of an oppressive, dictatorial, fascist
government?

Subject: [ZONET] Nay Pyi Daw to include parts of Zomi (Chin) state into
Sagaing division
Nay Pyi Daw to include parts of Zomi (Chin) state into Sagaing division
Khonumthung News
May 3, 2008.
The Burmese military junta recently decided to add some part of Zomi
(Chin)
state as an integral part of Sagaing division.
Nay Pyi Daw, the new capital of Burma reportedly sent its delegate U Aung
Myo Nyunt from the central survey department stationed in Nay Pyi Daw to
Kalay town to carry out the demarcation in which it plans to cut some part
of Zomi (Chin) state, said a letter of complaint from village heads from
the
excluded villages of Zomi (Chin) state sent to Nay Pyi Daw on April 3.
U Aung Myo Nyunt led a team comprising staff from the survey department
office in Kalay, Falam and Tedim equipped with high technology tools. They
surveyed and demarcated the boundary of Zomi (Chin) state and Sagaing
division between March 27 to April 4, a copy of the letter received by
Khonumthung News said.
U Tin Myint, Secretary of Zomi (Chin) state's Peace and Development
Council,
U Aung Win, U San Thang Vel, U Htun Hla Aung from the Survey Department in
Falam town and U Than Win from Survey Department in Kalay district were
said
to have issued a directive to undertake demarcation to the staff of the
Survey Department office of the towns of Falam, Tedim and Kalay
respectively.
In a copy of the newly demarcated map of the areas, in Khonumthung News
Group's possession, showed that some areas from Tedim Township in Zomi
(Chin) state are being included in Sagaing division.
Immediately, village heads from the proposed excluded seven villages in
Zomi
(Chin) state wrote a letter of complaint to Nay Pyi Daw. The letter urged
the Burmese regime to take action on the group that changed the boundary.
The letter also warned that the fraudulent demarcation will surely ignite
tension between Burmans and Zomis (Chins) living near the demarcated areas
in the future.
Pu Cin Sian Thang, Chairman of Zomi National Congress said, "I've also
heard
this but we have to verify exactly how many villages and to what extent
the
territory is being encroached".
However, the letter of complaint to Nay Pyi Daw said, the territories of
Zomi (Chin) state are being pushed into Kalay district. In a draft map of
demarcated areas there is Khai Kam, Mai Nuai, Tan Zang, Zo Zang, Zo Nuam
Zang, Kim Lai and Dim Zang villages.
"It will be clear whether the regime will approve it or not after the
constitutional referendum on May 10," Cin Sian Thang added.
Pu Cin Sian Thang also sent a delegate to follow up the case on the
boundary
dispute.
If the new demarcation is approved, 8,000 acres of farm, hardwood
including
teak and Gulu mual called "Mwe Taung" nickel and chromium mining from Zomi
(Chin) state will be taken away by Nay Pyi Daw government.
Earlier, excluded territories of Zomi (Chin) state were kept under Kalay
forest areas by the former central governments of Burma.
The occupied territories have been a part of Zomi (Chin) state before and
after Burma's independence from the British in 1948.
The 1974 constitution also affirmed that the territories to be left out by
the Burmese regime are an integral part of Zomi (Chin) state.
