A Far Eastern Economic Review article under the above title tells the story of nearly half a million ethnic Chin people in military-ruled Burma. Living in one of the most isolated and neglected parts of the country, in the western borderlands with India, these predominantly Christian, deeply impoverished people are completely under the boot of the Tatmadaw, or Burmese army, according to the author of the article. Systematic abuses by the Tatmadaw and the impact of a famine affecting large parts of the state are causing people to flee the country, mainly to the neighboring Mizoram State in India.
