MOREH, India -- Zomawi, who hails from a Myanmar Mizo village just a few kilometers from the Indian border, says she fled in December when her village was burned down. Now the mother of two is one of the many huddled along the border seeking refuge from Myanmar's raging civil war.
To make ends meet, she sells essentials along a road to India. From her ramshackle shop, she can see a new boundary trench dug by the Indian government. The trench winds along the periphery of the border and is a reminder of how the area's residents are caught between two wars.
