At about 6 a.m. on November 4, a bomb exploded at the Mahaang Mei Jade Market in Mandalay City, killing and wounding soldiers. According to nearby residents, "There was an explosion in the early morning behind the Mahaang Mei Jade Market, and there was no one in the market at the time of the incident. ”
It is understood that a suspicious package was found near the jade market at that time, and then the Wehrmacht soldiers went to the scene to inquire. The explosion occurred during the inquiry process, one soldier was injured in the arm and jaw, the other was blown to the chest, and died of his injuries while being taken to the Palace Military Hospital for treatment.
At present, the State Management Council Grand Admiral Min Aung Nhat has arrived in Mandalay, so security measures around the city have been strengthened, and it is not yet known which organization is operating. Previously, there was also an explosion at the Mandalay Jade Trading Ground on October 19, which was reportedly caused by attacks by "GZP guerrillas".
The source of Myanmar's emeralds, Pa Dare, has collapsed again
According to Kachin State, Myanmar, an illegal jade mine near Longqin Township, Pakan Township, Moning County, did not have an operating permit, and an earthslide accident occurred at noon on November 2, resulting in the death of an excavator pilot.
Local individual jade mine pickers told reporters that the excavator driver drove the excavator while operating, and there was an earthslide accident. The accident resulted in the driver and excavator being buried, and eventually the excavator driver died in the excavator.
It is reported that although the Myanmar State Management Commission ordered a number of jade and gem mines, including Pakan, to stop work. But a large number of gem mines, including those in Pakkan' jurisdiction, are still being excavated.
The landslide has always been a lingering shadow over The Burmese mining area, and there was a huge mining accident last year, according to survivors, when he was concentrating on the jade mine, when he suddenly felt a tremor and shouted next to him. His first instinct was to run. But just a few steps away, it was washed away by huge muddy water.
He said that the impact was too great to stabilize the center of gravity at all, and I felt like I was rolling underwater all the time. I thought I was dead this time, and after turning a few meters away, I didn't know how to stick my head out of the water. I saw a lot of people in the muddy water, some people who couldn't move anymore, some people who were still struggling like me. I managed to swim to the shore, and looking at the distance, I felt like I had swum for a century.
Speaking of this terrible experience, there are still palpitations in the heart. He said, I couldn't believe I had escaped, I didn't know what happened to my friends now, I didn't dare to inquire.
Another survivor said that at the moment of the landslide, more than 50 miners around him were washed away at once, but fortunately, he only had bruises on his arms, legs and face and survived.
In addition to the landslide, there will also be a civil armed forces association to collect "protection fees" from the miners. In the mines, Kachin Independence Army men are everywhere. They can clearly know who is selling jade and who has found high-quality jade. If you don't pay, you are at risk of life.
In the past two years, the living environment of these miners has been particularly harsh. Outbreaks, recessions, and without buyers, miners simply can't survive. Some mine owners will reach an agreement with individual jade ore pickers, the boss provides food and accommodation for the miners, and after the miners find the jade, they will share it equally with the mine owner.
Speaking of the next plan, the survivors said that although they experienced this terrible collapse, they would not give up and would not leave Pakang. He said, I don't have any culture and I don't have any skills. For me, it's the same everywhere. I know the job is dangerous, but living in hunger is just as dangerous. I'd rather stay here and fight than let myself go hungry. Even if something unexpected happened that day, I wouldn't regret it.
If you are lucky enough to find a good piece of jade, buy a good price, and hope to go home and buy a house, then marry a beautiful girl and live a good life. And that's what most miners want.
