RANGOON — More than 100 villagers have reportedly fled to monasteries since fighting between the Arakan Army and government troops in Arakan State’s Kyauktaw Township flared up on Dec. 27.
Tun Tha Sein, from Taungoo village in Arakan State, said the displaced civilians in Arakan State had taken shelter in monasteries in the villages of Kyiya Pyin and Zaytitaung, Mrauk-U Township, where local civil society organizations are providing them with food and blankets.
“Villagers said to me that they feared for their safety and left their houses after they heard a huge explosion near their village. As far as I know, more than 130 people are spread among monasteries in the two villages,” Tun Tha Sein told The Irrawaddy.
He added that fighting had also erupted in areas between Mrauk-U and Kyauktaw townships, but that not all people from affected villages, including Thantatar and Ba Ei, were receiving aid. (Courtesy of Irrawaddy)

The Cyber Wars
“We don’t attack Myanmar, we mostly hack Bangladeshi and Indonesian websites” said a Myanmar hacker who calls himself “CyberRoot”.
For the last three years, CyberRoot and countless other hackers have been fighting an underground cyber war against hackers in Bangladesh.
“They attack our government and job websites. They change web indexes, deface them and delete all of the data. They want Myanmar to look bad and so we retaliate,” another hacker, known as “Mr.$ud0”, told Frontier. “I have to protect Myanmar,” he said.
The hackers took pride in detailing their cyber strikes against Bangladesh, but none showed similar enthusiasm when asked about their activities within Myanmar. “OK. Good luck with the other interviews,” was one response to a question about whether they had hacked Myanmar government websites. (Courtesy of Frontier Myanmar)
