Description
Myanmar militia Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) say they are ready to hand over more than 400 alleged scam centre workers -- mostly Africans -- to the Myanmar military for repatriation to their home countries.
"But when we were about to hand them over, they were not ready to take them," says Saw San Aung, DKBA's Chief of Staff.
The workers, who they said were freed from working under coercion in scam centres in Myanmar's border region with Thailand, are from 22 different nationalities, with more than 250 from Ethiopia alone. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
