.MAE SOT, 17 November 2010 (NNT) – As the situation along the Thai-Burmese border has returned to normal, Thailand is repatriating Karen refugees back to their hometown in Myanmar.

Most of the 650 Karen tribesmen of Burmese nationality seeking refuge at Walay Camp, Tak Province, are now on their way back to Myanmar, right after the fight between Burmese troops and Karen rebels died down . The refugees fled their country into Thai soil when the fight broke out on November 14, and have since sought refuge in the province of Tak, just across the border from Burma.
