Communities stand up against Chinese dams on Burma’s Irrawaddy
Open defiance against Chinese dams in military-ruled Burma surfaced this month as dam construction and a forced relocation process began in the country’s northern Kachin State.Affected people directly confronted leading military personnel and held mass prayers, while a community network has written to the Chinese dam builders.
On October 9th, residents of Tanghpre village at the planned Myitsone dam site on the confluence at the source of the Irrawaddy handed an open letter directly to Burma’s Northern military commander, objecting to the dam.
The dam will flood the confluence and displace 15,000 people. In August military authorities informed residents that they had less than two months to begin moving out.
