flag Myanmar demands repatriation of 1,655 detained foreigners after cyber scam raids.

flag Myanmar’s military-led government has urged foreign nations to repatriate 1,655 detained foreigners, mostly Chinese, Indonesians, and Africans, following a crackdown on cyber scam centers in Kayin State near the Thai border. flag Since January, 13,272 individuals from 47 countries have been arrested in raids targeting hubs like KK Park and Shwe Kokko, with operations led by the military and Border Guard Force. flag The government cites logistical challenges, including lack of embassies for some African nationals, delaying repatriations by up to five months. flag While authorities claim to have dismantled scam networks linked to fraud and gambling—estimated to generate $40 billion annually globally—critics say such operations persist elsewhere. flag Ethnic militias, including the Karen National Union, deny involvement despite government allegations.
