Mizoram-Myanmar Border Trade Resumes Despite Official Ban

Mizoram-Myanmar Border Trade Resumes Despite Official Ban

Imagine a border between two countries where people usually buy and sell things.

Because of possible problems with another country, the government said they couldn't trade anymore.

But, people started trading anyway, mostly essential items like food and fuel.

This trade happens through an area controlled by a group of people who are against the Myanmar government.

The government tried to stop the trade, but it didn't work.

People on both sides of the border are still trading, even though it's not officially allowed, and the money exchange rate is not beneficial.
