Border Update -Feb 23, 1997

Three camps in the Umphang area were evacuated to a place between Mae Kong
Mai and Umphang, about two kilometers from Umphang itself.  

For the camps in the Pai Khlao area -- Lay Pho Hta, Mae Ta Raw Khee and Kwee
Lae Ter, a camp will be set up near Der Lwe (bell) Village.  Nobody will be
allowed to go in or out of the camp.

Dupalaya District

SLORC is making IDs for all the people In Kyeik Don area.  Some people from
Chogali area evacuated to the Thai side, but went back.  SLORC and DKBA
obviously intend to identify and control local people completely.  

Refugee camps on the Salween are under threat by the DKBA.  Lar Lah camp is
thought to be the most likely to be attacked but Mae Yet Hta is also
threatened.  

The monastery in Mawker was burned a week ago.
