>>
>>There was a severe flood occurred in Burma during the raining reason this
>>year. It destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of paddy fields in Pegu
>>Division. On account of this flood, the Slorc regimes is facing shortage of
>>rice supply in addition it also has other unsolved problems that pressed
>>Slorc requesting aids from the International Community.
>>
>>The demand of rice in the flood-effected areas is so acute the Slorc is
>>demanding Karenni villagers to share half of their paddy produced at the
>>lowest price or free as donation. The Karenni village militia who were
>>mobilized by Slorc have been instructed to expedite the order as mentioned
>>above without failure so that Slorc will be able to solve the rice problem.
>>
>>Karenni villagers concentrated camps in the relocation  camps are now facing
>>starving as Slorc stopped giving out rice to them. The Christian churches
>>are allowed to distribute rice to the villagers in the concentration camps
>>but now Slorc told the churches to first give the rice to them and they will
>>distribute it. It is very probable that Slorc will indirectly stop churches
>>to supply rice. "It is most likely if Slorc received rice from the churches,
>>it will not distribute it," said a church leader who refused to express his
>>name.
>>
>>The other news is Slorc is mobilizing villagers in the relocation camps to
>>serve as militia.
