Story of the fight at Yin Ye village retold by Ko Thiri

Kyaw Soe Lay (center-white shirt with a black collar-Circa 1988-89) training with a bamboo gun.
This is the story of the fight at Yin Ye village told by Ko Thiri Nyunt. There were 15 of us (two squads) against a company (40) of Burmese soldiers. It was a close and brutal fight. We were fighting within30-50 yards range. We lost Ko Ko Oo, Than Bo and Kyaw Soe Lay. 7 of us including me were wounded. Burmese soldiers ransacked the village after the fight.

  1. I've already read this story in a newspaper, very brave ABSDF students, their courage and their loss, and how hard their lives would be.
    But I'm so proud of you.
    I have full of respect on Dr.Aye Min, Ko Thiri Nyunt and all ABSDF members.

    I hope this article will remind us about friends who lost their lives in the on-going struggle. We need to finish what we started.
