KAPAUNGKYA Village located in Taze Township of Sagaing Region has about 700 houses with its residents supporting the USDA, NLD and other political parties. Despite supporting the different political parties, the residents had lived in peaceful coexistence. After the Tatmadaw assumed responsibility for the State, NLD supporters in the village turned out to be ultra-terrorists and formed a PDF terrorist group with Theegon Sayadaw Bhaddanta Sandima acting as the leader of the group. The terrorist group killed nine people, including some children at the age of 11, 16 and 18 on 17 April this year. Similarly, the terrorist group killed three people including two old people, a woman and a man at the age of 73 each, on 9 October, and two more people, a man and a woman, on October 10. In their terrorist act of killing and setting fires, 14 people – 11 males and three females – were killed. Because of their act of threat to life, village residents who do not support their party moved to nearby villages and their relatives in fear for their lives. Some had to flee to Taze Township Police Station and USDP party offices to take refuge. As the local terrorists did further threats to them in many ways while seeking protection and refuge in that way, the refuge-seeking people went and took shelter at Sayadaw Bhaddanta Warsawa’s Sasana Alinyaung Buddhist Monastery in Oomawdaw Village in Kanbalu Township. Currently, the monastery has received more than 50 people who are in trouble and is looking after them.
