Condemnation of the brutal massacre of innocent civilians in Khuafo village of Chin State

Description: 

"On the morning of March 30th, 2023 at around 10:00hrs, the genocidal military junta bombed the peaceful Khuafo village in Thantlang Township of Chin State with their Russian made YAK-130 jet fighters. The small village of Khuafo, which has only around 50 households, suffered immensely with 8 innocent villagers, including 2 children being killed in the bombing. Additionally, another 11 innocent villagers were critically injured, and 13 homes along with 2 churches were destroyed. Similar atrocities have been perpetrated by these genocidal military generals in their reign of terror against the Chin people, leading to over 60 air strikes and more than 140 bombs dropped on civilians in the last 3 months alone. We therefore condemn in the strongest terms possible these war crimes and crimes against humanity committed not only against the Chin people, but also against all the people of Myanmar by the cruel terroristic and brutal genocidal junta forces. Our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s families, love ones and friends during this horrible time in our history. Together we will continue to do everything we can to deliver justice to our people who have suffered so much for so long under these evil genocidal military generals and their partners in crimes against humanity. To put things further in perspective, in the past 24 months since the bloody attempted coup, the genocidal military generals in Myanmar have been targeting the Chin hills in order to systematically eradicate our Chin people. During this time, the brutal genocidal Military junta forces have killed more than 400 innocent Chin people of which 72 were women and 25 were children, and unjustly arrested more than 1430 Chin people. These brutal genocidal military junta forces have destroyed over 52 Chin churches and more than 2,000 Chin houses, and forcing nearly 100,000 Chin people into homelessness and desperation. Moreover, the brutal military junta has declared 8 townships out of 9 in Chin state to be under martial law, rendering Chin State without rule of law. The brutal genocidal military junta is using this means as license to systematically wipe out the Chin people. However, they will never succeed in this, and will indeed fail. The victory ultimately belongs to justice and that victory justice belongs to the peace loving people of Myanmar and Chinland. We call on the international community to stand in solidarity with the people of Myanmar in this darkest moment in our history and hold the genocidal military generals in Myanmar strictly accountable for their acts of terrorism and crimes against humanity against the people of Myanmar. We call on the international community to take decisive and immediate actions against the brutal genocidal military in Myanmar by imposing targeted, coordinated and tougher sanctions against them and all their partners in crimes against humanity, and supply much needed relief aide and humanitarian assistance to the people of Myanmar, working closely with the National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar. The people of Myanmar deserve peace, justice and the right to freedom, human rights and self-determination..."
