AP Enterprise: In Myanmar, living in fear of army (AP)

In this Sunday, Aug. 21, 2011 photo, Sai Noom Mong, a 15-year old Shan teenager, speaks during an interview at a dorm in the Shan State Army headquarters of Loi Tai Leng in Myanmar's Shan state. The soldiers arrived unexpectedly in the teen's village in eastern Myanmar with a brutal message: Leave your homes, they told hundreds of startled residents, or we'll burn them to the ground. Fearful of their fate but too frail to flee themselves, the his parents made a painful decision the following night. They secretly delivered their son to sympathetic rebels from their minority Shan ethnic group and said goodbye, unsure if they'd ever see him again. He arrived in May after an arduous monthlong escape through the forest on foot and has lived as an orphan ever since.
