Community leaders, civil society groups and Karen villagers claim that so far the ceasefire has delivered little for them other than the freedom to travel more openly. Myi Aye, a villager from Kawkareik, told Spectrum the fighting has been constant for weeks and she is now worried for her childrens safety. We are scared. We can hear shooting, she said. When I heard the shells dropping I ran from my paddy field and got my kids out of school. I fear for our safety. I told my older son not to travel back home from Myawaddy in his school break as heavily... armed soldiers are on the roads. Myi Aye said she does not trust that the ceasefire between government forces and the Karen will hold.
