YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe recent outbreak of intense fighting between rebel groups and Myanmar’s military close to the India-Myanmar border led to thousands of Myanmar nationals fleeing into India in November 2023. Most of the 5,000 refugees returned home. However, Mizoram is currently hosting 31,000 chin people fled the civil war in Myanmar after a military coup in February 2021. While the central government is concerned about the influx of refugees, the Myanmar refugees are welcomed by the local government in Mizoram becaus e of their common ethnicity. Since India does not recognize refugees, they are unable to get work that adds to their hardship. They are surviving with the help of donations from the locals NGO’s. DW visits one of the refugee camps in Champia district of Mizoram where refugees live a life of uncertainty. How safe is India for those fleeing from Myanmar? And does this situation cause tensions between India and Myanmar, too?
