The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) says large-scale ruby mining in Mogoke, Mandalay Region, will be suspended until it benefits the community.

[Although] Individual [miners] have been allowed to mine in Mogoke since September to support their livelihoods, said Lwei Yay Oo.

Military-owned Myanma Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL) and other firms with links to the army have controlled Mogoke’s mines, which account for 90 percent of Myanmar’s ruby production.
