Three More Villages Being Relocated From Myitsone Dam Site in Myitkyina ( Kachin State / Burma ).
The former hometown of my birthplace , Myitkyina ( Kachin State / Burma ) ; where the beginning of the world's second longest river : the Irrawaddy River ---after the Amazon River from Brazil : is being forced with the relocation of the Ethnic Kachin People from the area where the dam will be constructed with the joint venture in between the Chinese and the Burmese Military Junta . With the forced relocation of the approximate 60 villages from the area where as the ethnic Kachin People have been living for centuries & they have been pleading with the Chinese President & as well as with the Sr.Gen: Than Shwe of the Burmese Military Junta were being rejected . There is an imminent danger of in the event if the dam breakaway ; the downstream area where the cities & villages will be flooded & peoples lives will be lost as well . Not only that ; with the dam construction ; the ecosystem that is relied by the fisheries & other inhabitants will be destroyed as well .
I am appealing to the Green Peace : to intervene in this matter by sending message to the President of the People's Republic of China & to the Sr.Gen: Than Shwe of the Burmese Military Junta ; to halt this project immediately .
