Heavy fighting in war-torn Myanmar has forced nearly 4,000 people to flee into India in the last four days, Indian officials in the northeastern state of Mizoram said Monday.

The refugees, crossing thick forested routes to neighbouring India, ran from clashes between rival Chin armed groups, Mizoram state home secretary Vanlalmawia, who uses only one name, told AFP.

I really wish Canadians would stop going to the US. I just heard that last month top destination out of Toronto was NYC. Even with all the stories of Canadians being detained and mistreated thousands are still going there every day.

 

A long documentary for the weekend. This is a good snapshot of the country back in 2014 when it was opening up to the world after half a century of isolation under military rule. You can see the old ways and transition to changes opening up was introducing. Most of all you can feel the bubble of optimism building in the country. This was 1 year before NLD's overwhelming victory in the elections that surprised everyone and the military.

MNDAA are militia for the ethnic Han Chinese descendents of the Ming dynasty who ran from invading Manchurians. However most of the folks living around Lashio are of Shan descent. Are these folks better off living under the rule of the MNDAA militia or the Junta?

 

The Kokang armed group Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) has been enforcing a mandatory military service requirement for one member of each household in Lashio Township outside urban wards, residents of the city said.

Here's the article on Rogers' trying to stop Masai's contract from being renewed a year after winning the championship: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/masai-ujiri-considered-taking-year-off-from-raptors-after-contentious-contract-discussions-per-report/

This is purely due to an ownership change. The incoming majority owner Rogers (previously co-owner) didn't like Masai. There were reports of some friction between them in prior years. He bought out the other co-owner last year and the deal finally closed this month. He's keeping the rest of the management team but pushing Masai out.
