The Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA) and the Karen Border Guard Force (BGF) have surrounded nearly 7,000 foreigners from a telecommunications fraud syndicate, preparing to transfer them to the Thai government. Due to the large number of people, detailed information on the individuals must be submitted to Naypyidaw and Thailand, resulting in slow progress in the repatriation work. The daily cost of meals has become a significant burden.
