There is saying among Exile Tibetan official that “no matter how much China brag about development in Tibet , Chinese are not able connect the MOTOU a.k.a METOK a.k.a PEMAKO, Now that Chinese have responded by connecting the remote Metok county by digging 3.3 KM Galong – La tunnel”. What is the action of our Government in Exile to stop the damming of Yarlong-Tsangpo In Motou that will displace tens of thousand of people from their natural habitat.

China brag about huge spending in boring this tunnel . But it will recouparate the amount spent by exporting minerals, electricity by Damming Yarlong- Tsangpo in Pemako, Strategically Chinese PLA will be able to move in troops and arms more quickly in the events of War with India.

This tunnel and Damming Yarlong-Tsangpo in Pekoe/Pemako / Motou will displace thousands of family and distroy thier natural habitate.
The people of Pemako / Pekoe are sometime call by different name such as Pemakopa, Memba, Monpa, Drukpa, or not pure Tibetan by exile government official , previous ruler , government and politician to suit their needs.

Nomatter what names we are call by, ancestor of pemako people are mixture of khampas , Utsang, and DruKpa. Like any other region of Tibet , we speak a distinct Tibetan dialect call Tsanglha a.k.a Pemakopa a.k.a Sharchokpa a.k.a Memba. The people of Pemako are spread throught out Tibet and Southern Tibet/ Arunachal Pradesh.

Independent Tibet had five Tso-khag of Pemako but one of Tso-Khag of Pemak ( area compose of present day Arunachal pradesh) got sold off to then British India for inge Kherdung by our Gaden Pho dang Chok le namgle official by signing shimla agreement. China claims south Tibet as part of China and our Government in Exile Prime Minister Rinpoche always declare southern Tibet as a part of Indian. It is a sad and tragic tales of our affairs. Saddest part is our Prime Minister Samdhong Rinpoche has never set foot in Southern Tibet even thought we have three large Tibetan Refugee settlement and other scatter Tibetan communities in Tuting and Mechukha.

The present ruler of Tibet : China classified us as memba nationals minority. Chinese are playing the games of divided and rule. But in exile it is no different. Years ago one of Kalon while giving speech to SFF cadet and regular said that Pemako are not real Tibetan. We dont expect from such kind of things from Kalons and exile official.

Why our Government Exile , NGO, TYC, Tibet support Group and SFT etc are so quite about it?

Why there is no protest to stop damming of Tsangpo in Pemako / Motuo/ Metok?
