Resisting the Flood: Communities stand up against Chinese dams on Burma’s Irrawaddy
A report by Kachin Development Network Group about recent dam construction and forced relocation in northern Kachin State. China Power Investment is planning a series of seven dams on the Irrawaddy and its two main tributaries. Construction of the 2,000 megawatt Chibwe Dam on the N’Mai River has already begun and, in August 2009, villagers were informed that they must begin to move out within two months. Despite the risks of arrest, torture or death for dissent in military-ruled Burma, brave people are demanding a halt to the dams.
