Villages Along Thai Border Ordered To Prepare War for Junta

Village headmen in across the border from Chiangmai had recently been =
instructed to prepare defenses and rice for the military, said Maihoong =
from eastern Shan State.

On Monday 1 November, 108 village and tract headmen in Mongton Township, =
Monghsat District, Eastern Shan State, gathered at the Mongton town =
hall. The meeting was presided by Ltc. Myint Sway, Commander, IB 65 and =
Ltc. Pan Lay, Commander, IB 226.

"Col. Myint Sway told the headmen:
a. each village to deliver 30 fence stakes, each 3 spans in =
circumference and 4 cubits in length, by 15 November;

b. Monghang and Maeken tracts to deliver dried bricks 3,000 and 7,000 =
respectively by 5 December;

c. Other tracts i.e. Phakhae, Nawngpayen, Wanna, Hwe-aw and Poongpakhem =
to dig foxholes along the highway from BP-1 to Mongton, Monghsat and =
Tasang, each one 2 cubits deep and 4 fathoms distant from one another, =
to be completed by 30 November", said Maihoong.

In addition, Col. Pan Lay reminded the villagers to sell their new =
harvest in accordance with the quota and price already fixed since =
October, or they would face punishment by confiscation of their paddy =
fields, which would be turned over to immigrants over from Burma =
(Proper), added Maihoong.

A border watcher commented that the Burmese Army might be preparing for =
war either with the Shan State Army of Yawdserk or "a neighboring =
country".
