YANGON: Some 1,365 more Myanmar border inhabitants returned to Kokang ethnic region from Chinese border area on Saturday after fightings ended in the region on August 29, bringing the total of the returnees to their homes to 12,096 as of Saturday, the state-run newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported Sunday.

The Kokang local people came back to Laukkai, the capital of the Shan State Special Region-1 (North), through Yanlonkyaing and Chinshwehaw border gates, the report said.

According to official estimation, a total of 37,000 Kokang local inhabitants fled last week's days of fightings in the Kokang region to Yunnan province, southwest of China, where they were provided with humanitarian care by the Yunnan provincial government.

The runaway border inhabitants started to return homes on Monday, a day after the Myanmar government claimed that peace has been restored in the region with local administrative machinery becoming normal.

The Kokang region, bordering China's Zhen Kung, Geng Ma, Meng Ding and Long Ling areas, has a population of about 150,000.
