Mong La Township is a subdivision of Kengtung District, Shan State, Myanmar. The area borders with Chinaand Laos.[2] The principal town is Mong La. It is situated between Kyaingtung, Mongyan, Mongyaung.
Sharing a long border with China, the Mongla area is a center for the production and traffic of narcotics[3] and illegal wildlife trade.[4]
History[edit]
Mong La or the Mongla region was the Special Region #4 of Shan before the new constitution (2008).[5] It hosts the National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA) and its leader Lin Mingxian aka Sai Leun.[6] It was the #815 War Zone of the former Communist Party of Burma (CPB).[7] In 2008 the United Wa State Army (UWSA) strongly opposed the move to give away the adjacent area of Mong Pawk from its control because it serves as a link with its ally, the NDAA in Mongla.[8]
In the 2010 General Election, the Mong La constituency for the People's Assembly (Pyithu Hluttaw) was cancelled.[9]
