Withdrawal of Troops – 2006

As of 2006, the military was still heavily involved in the administration of the CHT and the majority of military camps had not been removed. One report on the implementation of the Accord indicated that 152 of 543 camps had been withdrawn.¹ The PCJSS claimed that around 31 military camps out of 500 have been removed from the CHT. The government claimed that 172 camps had been removed. Given these estimates, 66% to 94% of military camps have not been removed from the CHT.²
