Karenni State, Burma

“Help us, Lord Jesus,“ was our constant prayer throughout the Moebye battle. Mortars and 105mm howitzer were fired repeatedly at our casualty collection point (CCP). The speed between the crack of the cannon being fired and the boom of impact allowed us no warning. Unlike with a mortar, when you can sometimes hear it being fired and then have a few seconds before impact, the firing and impact of a howitzer is almost simultaneous, and it’s devastating in its power. We could do nothing but pray and get as low as we could. We set up our CCP in a concrete building and got down whenever the rounds came in, shrapnel slamming into our building, but we were protected. We thanked God throughout the day.

Moebye rests on the edge of the mountains with a gentle sloping plain of rice fields to the east. North of town is Pekon Lake . Next to Moebye flows the peaceful and beautiful Balu River. But there’s no peace now. The Burma military has hammered Moebye for four years, with multiple massacres of villagers before everyone fled. Moebye sits at a strategic crossroads between southern Shan State and northern Karenni State, Burma. It is a crucial lifeline and supply line for the people in these regions. Just south of Moebye almost the entire population of 350,000 Karenni have been displaced with thousands of southern Shan families displaced in this area as well.

Firing on casualties and Jesus freaks....manly and demonic.

If one can generalize and claim that there is one criminal ethnicity that should be extirpated from this earth it is the Burman.
