Myanmar refugees returning home face land conflicts NAYPYITAW, Myanmar, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Human rights groups say the deck is stacked against returning refugees who are trying to resettle land abandoned during Myanmar's fight with Kachin rebels. "It seems there is an inadequate legal framework to ensure the satisfactory protection of land rights of the displaced Kachin people," Simon Young, an adviser for advocacy group Legal Aid Network, told the United Nations' Integrated Regional Information Networks. IRIN reported Thursday many returning refugees are facing land tenure challenges with a government coordinating a series of cease-fire agreements between the many armed groups in Myanmar. Ah Han, director of the Kachin Development Networking Group, told IRIN returning refugees were coming home to find their farms have been used for gold mining operations. IRIN reports Myanmar law states the government has control over lands containing natural resources.
