Because battles were launched in the Kachin Special Region-1 in the far northeastern part of Kachin State, if a racial problem emerged, the organization that created battles would be responsible for it, announced the Larcheed Literature and Culture Committee.

The committee announced on 28th October 2024, saying it was the attitude of the entire Larcheed nationalities. 

Larcheed nationalities have been living in Chiphwi, Sawlaw, Waingmaw Townships, Sadon, Kan Pite Tee, Kachin Special Region-1 in far northeastern part of Kachin State peacefully since AD 700, said in the statement.

The KIA/KPDF joint forces began attacking Chiphwi, Panwa, Kan Pite Tee and Sadon regions in the Kachin Special Region-1 administered by U Zakhun Ting Ying, starting from September 2024.

The KIA/KPDF joint forces captured Chiphwi Township on 29th September 2024 and Panwa, on 18th October and the Border Guard Force 1003 near Hsin Kyaik Village between Kan Pite Tee and Sadon, on 21st October.

Larcheed nationalities and other tribes had to flee to safety by the thousand because the KIA/KPDF joint forces attacked the Kachin Special Region-1.

" The regions where Larcheed people live were attacked like fighting against the foreign enemies, lives of properties of local people were lost and human rights were cruelly violated for which the entire Larcheed people are sorry and upset." said in the statement.

And then the committee stated that all those who were responsible for creating battles needed to stop battles immediately.

" If the racial problem and historic bad consequences emerged, the organization which created battles would be responsible. The entire Larcheed people denounce waging battles and want finding an answer by discussing peacefully." said in the statement.

The regions in the Kachin Special Region-1 were delayed for development because of domestic armed conflicts since Myanmar gained her independence. 

However, U Zakhong Ting Ying led and made eternal peace with the Myanmar Tatmadaw after which education, healthcare, transportation and all-round development arose. Local people have been living peacefully up to now, said in the statement.

The regions of the Kachin Special Region-1 share borders with China and has the China-Myanmar border trade gates as well as rare earth mining projects and tissue culture banana plantations.

So, the Chinese Special Envoy Mr. Deng Xijun met with General Gun Shawng n order to stop battles.

However, because battles didn't stop, the Chinese government has closed down the border gates sharing with Kachin State.
