Kachin State farmers are recapturing their land, confiscated under the previous military regime by the Yuzana Company in 2006, after the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) attacked the company’s compound last month, forcing the staff to leave. According to residents, buildings inside the Yuzana compound in Kachin’s Hpakant Township were being bulldozed by the farmers on Wednesday.
