The present study area covers the northwestern part of Kachin State including Putao Township. The pronirnent geographic feature of this area is the Mount Phongumrazi which is about (10500) feet height above sea level with snow caps in all seasons. This area is geologically still unknown and systematic geological investigation had never been studied yet. The study area is composed ofmostly Igneous and Metamorphic rocks. The igneous rocks are biotite granite, hornblende biotite granite, peridotite and hornblendite. They are frequently cross cut by pegmatite, aplite veins and silica veins in numerous places. Most of these are found as massive and boulder in shape, and their sizes are very large amount to form as elevated mountain ranges distributing Putao township. The metamorphic rocks are intruded by igneous rocks. They are hornblende biotite gneiss, marble and hornblende biotite schist and garnet mica schist. They are shown as south plunging anticline structure in regional scale. The sedimentary rocks are found as Putao gravel and alluvium which are only observed at only Putao and neighbouring area. As economic point of view some Putao Jade (Grossular garnet) occurrence near upper Shangaung village, ruby and sapphire occurrences at Manse Kaung village and small scale placer gold mines are done by local people in numerous streams banks particularly at lower Shangaung areas .Granite are also used for road and construction materials and marble can be applied for raw material ofcement industry. Key words: Granite in Northern Myanmar, Phongumrazi region, Putao Jade and Placer gold. Introduction Kachin State is located in the northern part of Myanmar between India to the west and China to the east and north. The present study area covers the northwestern part of Kachin State including in Putao Township. (Fig. I). The prominent geographic feature of this area is the Mount Phongumrazi which is about (10500) feet height above sea level with snow caps in all seasons. It is composed ofhighly mountainous regions which are 1. Pro-Rector, Dagon University 2.

This atea is geologically still unknown and systematic geological investigation had never been studied yet. Therefore, the geological investigation is also required to prepare geological map of study area with fairly detailed and to record the possible mineralization and mineral resources.

Human rights abuses have included extrajudicial killings, rape of women, arbitrary arrests, torture, forced displacement, the use of human shields, forced labor, and the confiscation and destruction of property. All of these systematic abuses would be considered war crimes and/or crimes against humanity under international law. • The ongoing conflict has displaced about 75,000 people, including at least 10,000 refugees who crossed the border into China. Despite the severity of the situation, the regime has frustrated relief efforts, severely restricting humanitarian access to local and international organizations. • The KIA’s political leadership, the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), has made repeated attempts to negotiate a lasting peace in Kachin State. However, the regime has rejected the KIO’s request to discuss long-term political solutions prior to a ceasefire agreement.

The area’s hill jungle is largely untouched by humans and has not been visited by ornithologists since the late 1940s. Even today, this jungle can be considered a primary forest in the literal sense and a “white map” area for most biodiversity. During our recent visits to this extraordinary, species-rich area we compiled an inventory of the avifauna that includes records of more than 440 species. Although the area inventoried covers only about one per- Bonn zoological Bulletin cent of the land surface of Myanmar, the species reported in the inventory include endemics as well as globally threatened taxa and represent more than a third of all known bird species from the Supplementum Vol. 62 (2015) country. By evaluating in detail the subspecific relationships of the formerly: Bonner zoologische Monographien Hkakabo Razi rainforest avifauna, we conclude that the bird avifau- na community of northern Myanmar is most similar to the one Avifauna of the found in the avifauna of the temperate rainforests of northeastern India.

    Development of Lisu Literature and Culture in Kachin State, Myanmar Khin Saw Nwe1 Abstract the Tribe of Lisu Has Been Living in Myanmar Since Ancient Times

    Development of Lisu Literature and Culture in Kachin State, Myanmar Khin Saw Nwe1 Abstract The tribe of Lisu has been living in Myanmar since ancient times. They entered Myanmar from the eastern part of Tibet. To express the background history of the tribe, they passed through the snow covered mountains of the northern part of Myanmar and settled down in Khaw-bu-de and Khaung-Lan-phu region in the 9th century A.D. Some of the tribe also descended to Kokang through the River Thanlwin from Yarhar region in the year 1300 A.D. This Lisu tribe is descended from Lolo tribe. They appeared long before the invention of writing. Although they have different dialects, there are not many differences among Lisu people. Concerning Lisu Literature, there are two kinds such as Roman Letter based and Myanmar Letter based. Because of Lisu Literature, the customs of Lisu have improved a lot. Therefore Culture has been developing gradually since the invention of writing. There are music and dances during the Lisu New Year festival. There are differences in rituals and traditions according to the regions. One of the Lisu tribe’s ceremonies is house - warming ceremony. The names of their popular dances are Che-ngo- che dance and Shar-pe-ta dance. Lisu Literature and ritual associations have been established since the year 1900 in Putao and other regions. Lisu people’s union spirit, responsibility and accountability and their attitude have been recorded in history. Keywords : Tribe, literature, culture Introduction The tribe of Lisu is one of the tribes who have been living in the Union of Myanmar.

Budget: USD 2 million Estimated Start: March 2020 Duration: Three years 1. Background The Livelihoods and Food Security (LIFT) Fund is a multi-donor fund established in 2009 to address food insecurity and income poverty in Myanmar. LIFT 2019-2023 is funded by seven donors – the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, Switzerland, the United States, Canada and Ireland. The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is the Fund Manager for LIFT, administrating the funds and providing monitoring and oversight services. The overall goal of the LIFT Fund is to achieve a sustained reduction in the number of people living in hunger and poverty in Myanmar. LIFT strengthens the resilience and livelihoods of poor and vulnerable populations through interventions to raise income, decrease vulnerability, improve nutrition and support pro-poor policy development. LIFT works with a broad range of implementing partners, including non-governmental organizations, United Nations agencies, the Government of Myanmar, the private sector, civil society, academic and research institutions.

    Myanmar Situation Update (31 May - 6 June 2021)

    Myanmar Situation Update (31 May - 6 June 2021) Summary The National Unity Government (NUG) held its very first press conference on Friday 4 June. The junta shut down the internet between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m to disrupt that press conference being held by the parallel government. The NUG said that it will announce a national D-Day to fight the military junta when the time is ripe at its press conference. The COVID-19 control collapsed after the coup as many health workers joined a civil disobedience movement to protest against the junta. COVID-19 infections have resurfaced in Myanmar amid post-coup turmoil with 767 new cases being found and seven deaths in the past seven days. The military junta has imposed stay-at-home orders on half of the Chin State’s townships as well as Kalay, Sagaing State. On 1 June, the junta forced the start of the new school year across the country. No more than a quarter of Myanmar's 12 million pupils enrolled for the new school year amid a protest boycott against military rule and in the wake of a series of bombings, an official of Myanmar Teachers’ Federation said. Security forces stood guard at some schools and brought pupils under armed escort from their homes1. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the chief of the coup, met with Brunei's Second Minister for Foreign Affairs Erywan Pehin Yusof and ASEAN Secretary General Lim Jock Hoi in Naypyitaw on Friday 4 June. He told ASEAN envoys elections will only come after the country returns to ‘normal’.
