More than 200 villagers displaced from Rangoon’s Hlegu Township in February are stuck in limbo at the border between Karen and Mon states as of Wednesday afternoon.

After accepting an offer to resettle on lands controlled by the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA), trucks carrying the homeless villagers were intercepted by Hpa-an district authorities and subsequently held near the Karen State capital.
