Rohingya insurgency declares ‘open war’ in Myanmar

[bluesky]

But in October a small and previously unknown militant group-the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) -- staged a series of well coordinated and deadly attacks on security forces.

I welcome this attack by ARSA. But the attacks were certainly not well coordinated, and were deadly on the ARSA fighters themselves. More than 80 ARSA guys were killed against military death of only 20. More training with better weapons is needed for them. Otherwise, they will just be wiped off Arakan in no time by the Myanmar military hogs.

মিয়ানমারকে সতর্ক করল যুক্তরাষ্ট্র
US Warns Myanmar

01 Sep, 2017
মিয়ানমারকে রোহিঙ্গা মুসলমানদের প্রতি সহিংসতা থেকে বিরত থাকার আহবান জানিয়ে যুক্তরাষ্ট্র বলেছে, দেশটির উচিত আন্তর্জাতিক আইন ও অঙ্গীকার অনুসরণ করে চলা ও নাগরিকদের আক্রমণ থেকে বিরত থাকা। জাতিসংঘে যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের রাষ্ট্রদূত নিকি হ্যালি এক বিবৃতিতে বলেন, বার্মা বা মিয়ানমারের মানুষের জন্যে গণতন্ত্র প্রতিষ্ঠায় যুক্তরাষ্ট্র সমর্থন করে তবে রাখাইন অঞ্চলে রোহিঙ্গা মুসলিমদের ওপর নির্যাতন ও হত্যার ব্যাপারে উচিত দেশটির সংযম দেখানো। যুক্তরাষ্ট্র একই সঙ্গে রোহিঙ্গা বিদ্রোহীদের হামলার নিন্দা জানায়।

নিকি হ্যালি বলেন, মিয়ানমার সেনাবাহিনীর উচিত সহিংসতা রোধে আন্তর্জাতিক আইন মেনে চলা। নিরাপরাধ বেসামরিক ও সহায়তাকারী শ্রমিকদের ওপর আক্রমণ না চালানো এবং প্রয়োজনে তাদের সহায়তা প্রদানের বিষয়টি নিশ্চিত করা।

বুধবার জাতিসংঘের নিরাপত্তা পরিষদে রোহিঙ্গা নির্যাতন ও হত্যাযজ্ঞের বিষয়টি আলোচনা হবার পর নিকি হ্যালি এ বিবৃতি দিলেন। তবে নিরাপত্তা পরিষদের ওই বৈঠক শেষে আনুষ্ঠানিক কোনো বিবৃতি দেয়নি জাতিসংঘ।
রাখাইন অঞ্চলে রোহিঙ্গা মুসলমানদের বিরুদ্ধে মিয়ানমার সেনাবাহিনী অভিযান শুরু করার পর সহিংসতা ছড়িয়ে পড়ে, হতাহতের ঘটনা ঘটে এবং হাজার হাজার রোহিঙ্গা মুসলিম সীমান্ত পাড়ি দিয়ে বাংলাদেশে আশ্রয় নেয়। বাংলাদেশে এ পর্যন্ত ৫ লাখ রোহিঙ্গা মুসলমান আশ্রয় নিয়েছে। ২০১২ সাল থেকে মিয়ানমারে রোহিঙ্গা মুসলমানদের ওপর এধরনের নির্যাতন চলে আসছে।

জাতিসংঘ মিয়ানমারে গণধর্ষণ, গুম. হত্যা, নিষ্ঠুর নির্যাতনের কথা প্রতিবেদনে উল্লেখ করেছে। রোহিঙ্গা প্রতিনিধিরা জানান, গত কয়েক সপ্তাহে দেশটির নিরাপত্তা বাহিনীর হাতে অন্তত ৪ শতাধিক মানুষ নিহত হয়েছে।

Nearly 3000 Rohingya Muslims are dead in Myanmar says ERC
August 29, 2017
European Rohingya Council spokeswoman Anita Schug told Anadolu Agency between 2,000-to-3,000 Muslims had died in Rakhine state, and thousands other had been injured in what she described as a “slow-burning genocide”.

“It [the situation in Rakhine] is an ongoing slow-burning genocide,” Schug said, accusing Myanmar’s military of being behind the deaths.

She said almost a thousand Muslims were killed on Sunday in Saugpara village, Rathedaung alone.

More than a 100,000 civilians have been displaced in Rakhine, while another 2,000 Muslims are trapped on the Myanmar-Bangladesh border which was closed by the Bangladeshi government, Schug added.

She also said a hundred villagers from Auk Nan Yar were taken to an unknown location on Wednesday, adding there were concerns for their safety.
Deadly attacks on border posts in western Myanmar’s Rakhine state broke out on Friday, resulting in mass civilian casualties.

Later, media reports emerged saying Myanmar security forces used disproportionate force and displaced thousands of Rohingya villagers, destroying homes with mortars and machine guns.
The region has seen simmering tension between its Buddhist and Muslim populations since communal violence broke out in 2012.

A security clampdown launched in October last year in Maungdaw, where Rohingya form the majority, led to a U.N. report on human rights violations by security forces that indicated crimes against humanity.

The U.N. documented mass gang rape, killings, including that of babies and children, brutal beatings and disappearances. Rohingya representatives have said approximately 400 people were slain during the operation.

The Rohingya are the world’s largest stateless community and of one of its most persecuted minorities.
Using a dialect similar to that spoken in Chittagong in southeast Bangladesh, the Sunni Muslims are loathed by many in majority-Buddhist Myanmar who see them as illegal immigrants and call them “Bengali” — even though many have lived in Myanmar for generations.

They are not officially recognized as an ethnic group, partly due to a 1982 law stipulating that minorities must prove they lived in Myanmar prior to 1823 — before the first Anglo-Burmese war — to obtain nationality.

Most live in the impoverished western state of Rakhine but are denied citizenship and harassed by restrictions on movement and work.

Another 400,000 live in Bangladeshi camps, although Dhaka only recognizes a small portion as refugees.

UN report details 'devastating cruelty' against Rohingya population in Myanmar's Rakhine province

3 February 2017 – In a report issued today, the United Nations human rights arm said that the widespread human rights violations against the Rohingya population by Myanmar's security forces in the country's northern Rakhine state indicate the very likely commission of crimes against humanity.

The flash report – released today by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) based on its interviews with people who fled Myanmar after attacks on a border post in early October, the ensuing counter military operations and a lockdown in north Maungdaw – documents mass gang-rape, killings, including of babies and young children, brutal beatings, disappearances and other serious human rights violations by the country's security forces.

“The devastating cruelty to which these Rohingya children have been subjected is unbearable – what kind of hatred could make a man stab a baby crying out for his mother's milk. And for the mother to witness this murder while she is being gang-raped by the very security forces who should be protecting her,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein.

“What kind of 'clearance operation' is this? What national security goals could possibly be served by this?”

The gravity and scale of these allegations begs the robust reaction of the international community High Commissioner Zeid

OHCHR noted that more than half of the women its human rights team interviewed reported having suffered rape or other forms of sexual violence. Many other interviewees reported witnessing killings, including of family members and having family who were missing.

Houses deliberately set on fire, people pushed inside burning houses – report
The report also cites consistent testimony indicating that hundreds of Rohingya houses, schools, markets, shops, madrasas and mosques were burned by the army, police and sometimes civilian mobs. Witnesses also described the destruction of food and food sources, including paddy fields, and the confiscation of livestock.

It also noted that several people were killed in indiscriminate and random shooting – many while fleeing for safety.
Army or Rakhine villagers locked an entire family, including elderly and disabled people, inside a house and set it on fire, killing them all.
“Numerous testimonies collected from people from different village tracts…confirmed that the army deliberately set fire to houses with families inside, and in other cases pushed Rohingyas into already burning houses,” the report states.

“Testimonies were collected of several cases where the army or Rakhine villagers locked an entire family, including elderly and disabled people, inside a house and set it on fire, killing them all.”

Many witnesses and victims also described being taunted while they were being beaten, raped or rounded up, such as being told “you are Bangladeshis and you should go back” or “What can your Allah do for you? See what we can do?”

Perpetrators and those who ordered them must be held accountable – UN rights chief
Calling on the international community for robust reaction given the gravity and scale of the allegations, High Commissioner Zeid stressed:

“The Government of Myanmar must immediately halt these grave human rights violations against its own people, instead of continuing to deny they have occurred, and accepts the responsibility to ensure that victims have access to justice, reparations and safety.”

“The killing of people as they prayed, fished to feed their families or slept in their homes, the brutal beating of children as young as two and an elderly woman aged 80 – the perpetrators of these violations, and those who ordered them, must be held accountable.”

Violence follows a long-standing pattern of violations and abuses – OHCHR
According to the UN human rights wing, the violence since 9 October follows a long-standing pattern of violations and abuses; systematic and systemic discrimination; and policies of exclusion and marginalization against the Rohingya that have been in place for decades in northern Rakhine state, the report notes.

OHCHR also noted that after the repeated failure of the Government of Myanmar to grant it unrestricted access to the worst-affected areas of northern Rakhine state, High Commissioner Zeid deployed a team of human rights officers to the Bangladeshi border with Myanmar, where an estimated 66,000 Rohingya have fled since 9 October 2016.

It further noted that according to reports, operations by security forces in the area have continued into January 2017, although their intensity and frequency may have reduced.

Violations of children's rights 'totally unacceptable' – UNICEF
Also today, expressing serious concern at the level of violations of children's rights as documented in the report, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) called for thorough investigations into the allegations and prosecution of the violators.

“Such violations of children's rights are totally unacceptable,” the UN agency said, underscoring: “Every child has the right to protection, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, religion or nationality, in every circumstance [...] child victims need and deserve support.”

Erdoğan accuses Myanmar of ‘genocide’ as thousands of Rohingya flee to Bangladesh
Almost 400 people have died in violence that Myanmar’s military said was triggered by attacks on security forces by Rohingya insurgents

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused Myanmar of “genocide” against the Rohingya Muslim minority, who have fled in the tens of thousands across the border into Bangladesh to escape ethnic violence.

“There is a genocide there,” Erdoğan said in a speech in Istanbul during the Islamic Eid al-Adha feast, which commemorates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son.

“Those who close their eyes to this genocide perpetuated under the cover of democracy are its collaborators.”

Almost 400 people have died in violence in the north-western Rakhine state that Myanmar’s military said was triggered by attacks on security forces by insurgents from the Rohingya ethnic minority.

The army’s statement said there had been 90 armed clashes, including an initial 30 attacks by insurgents on 25 August, making the combat more extensive than previously announced. The army, responding to the attacks, launched what it called clearance operations against the insurgents.

Advocates for the Rohingya say security forces and vigilantes attacked and burned villages, shooting civilians and causing others to flee. Hundreds of civilians were killed, they say, posting photos, videos and details on social media as evidence.

Such reports have further amplified tensions, raising fears that communal violence in Rakhine is spinning out of control.

To escape the violence, about 20,000 Rohingya have massed along the Bangladeshi frontier, barred from entering the south Asian country, while scores of desperate people have drowned attempting to cross the Naf, a border river, in makeshift boats.

Erdoğan said he would bring up the issue at the next UN general assembly in New York later this month, adding that he had already talked to the UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres, as well as other Muslim leaders.

According to the state-run Anadolu news agency, the Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told Bangladeshi authorities to “open your doors”, adding Turkey would cover the costs associated with letting in more Rohingya.

Bangladesh already hosts 400,000 Rohingya and has said it does not want more.

“We have called upon the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,” Cavusoglu said. “We will organise a summit this year [on the issue] … we have to find a definitive solution to this problem.”

The UN security council met behind closed doors on Wednesday to discuss the violence but there was no formal statement.

On Friday Guterres said he was “deeply concerned” by the situation in Myanmar and called for “restraint and calm to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe”.

The Rohingya are subject to harsh treatment in Myanmar, where the community of roughly one million people are accused of being illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

Longstanding tension between the Rohingya Muslims and Buddhists erupted in bloody rioting in 2012, forcing more than 100,000 Rohingya into displacement camps, where many still live.

As the refugees poured across the border into Bangladesh, a police official in Cox Bazar’s Teknaf area said 21 bodies of Rohingya were found floating in the Naf River. Mohammed Mohiuddin Khan said two of them had bullet wounds.

On Thursday, three boats with refugees capsized, killing at least 26, including women and children, police said.

“The government has to stop this offensive,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch. “It has to allow humanitarian assistance and let journalists into this area. We have to actually see what’s happened because quite clearly human rights violations have taken place.”
He said it was possible that violations had occurred on both sides.

The UN special rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, expressed concern “that many thousands of people are increasingly at risk of grave violations of their human rights.”

The UN secretary general also urged restraint by Myanmar security forces, a spokesperson said in a statement. “The current situation underlines the urgency of seeking holistic approaches to addressing the complex root causes of violence,” Eri Kaneko said.

That all you got?

Not butthurt by any means. You need to learn to control your pathetic trolling. Humans are being killed barbarically by the burmese animals, be a human at least. I and we muslims always condemn any innocent lives being taken away, weather they are Muslim or not. As Islam says, "if you kill any innocent human being it's though as if you have killed the whole of humanity, but if you save any innocent human beings it is though as if you have save the whole of humanity." Quran 5:32

Why can't you be good humans? Does hinduism teach you to always hate and troll others even if it's incorrect to do so?

lol who killed whom..?
even still now many rakhine villages are being attacked by these Rohingya terrorists.
