A person’s
true colors are revealed when he or she gets carried away. “Freedom From Fear”

in which Daw Aung San Suu Kyi encouraged
public to raise their voice against Myanmar’s notorious generals is a
remarkable book. Her lectures on democracy and human rights caused to call her
“Myanmar’s democracy icon”.
To make a
first civilian government, majority voted her National League For Democracy in
2015 election in hope that she would make Myanmar a democratic Nation. But her
attitude changed completely when she became State’s Counsellor.
A Myanmar
Proverb says “Affinity with fishermen makes one a fisherman, affinity with
hunter makes one a hunter”. I wonder affinity with genocidaires makes her
genocidaire. A Rohingya Proverb says ” A tree can be known by its skin and true
colors of human being can be known by his or her ideology in the mind , not in
the mouth or writing” Thein Sein Government kept all Rohingya in the ghettos
after State’s sponsored deadly violence in 2012.
During one
year of her administration, Nobel Laureate has not uttered a single word to
lift genocidal blockage on Rohingya and restore their rights instead she is
following the footsteps of genocidaires saying “I
should defend my father’s Tatmadaw. I don’t know Rohingya.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/07/world/asia/myanmar-rohingya-aung-san-suu-kyi.html?_r=0
She requested the World not to use the
term “Rohingya” and instructed State’s media to write “Bengali terrorists for
“Rohingya”.
Because of
unbearable persecution in the ghettos, some Rohingya stand for self-defense
holding sticks and swords in Maungdaw since last October. Excusing crack-down
of terrorists, State has been purging Rohingya civilians inhumanely using heavy
weapons and deadly air strikes that caused the loss of 700 Rohingya and 1000 of
them became displaced persons as it burnt down many villages and looted all
their properties. Authority is also arming and training Rakhine for further
bloodshed.
Recently,
the UN’s special rapporteur on Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, criticised the government
led by Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi for their handling of the crisis and
called for ‘urgent action‘. http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=20895&LangID=E Up to 50,000 people are now estimated to be
displaced and thousands more affected; 100s of short video records and photos
about rape, burnt alive, mass grave, torture, arbitrarily arrest, looting and
torching houses by Myanmar military and Border Guards Forces are available.
Although
many activists have proved that Myanmar army killed civilians, raped women and
torched 100s of Rohingya’s homes, the government has vehemently denied all.
Authorities have heavily restricted access to the area, making it difficult to
independently verify government reports or accusations of army abuse.
While a
delegation of UN officials and foreign diplomats made a brief trip to the area
in an effort to get aid deliveries reinstated, State did not allow them to
visit certain areas where many victims were waiting for them.
State
Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi has recently stated that the government is
responding to the situation based on the ‘rule of law‘. Yet I am unaware of any
efforts on the part of the government to look into the allegations of human
rights violations,” the UN’s special rapporteur said in a statement.” The
security forces must not be given carte blanche to step up their operations
under the smokescreen of having allowed access to an international delegation.
Urgent action is needed to bring resolution to the situation.”
On 19
November, Myanmar military surrounded Rohingya village, Ngan Chaung of Maungdaw
at 9AM, took out all people including children to a school. After that they
separated all other villagers whose houses were burnt down by the army one
side. Among them, there are people from Kyet Yoe Pyin, Pwin Phyu Chaung, and
Yae Khet Chaung Kwasone. All those IDPs including elderly persons were forced
overturn position and beat with bamboo slat.
No one knew
the reason why were they beaten in such a cruel way. Later, 108 Rohingya were
taken by the trucks of army. Out of them 55 people were alleged as terrorists
from the State media. And the villagers of Ngan Chaung were warned not to keep
any other villager. An army officer also announced that if any strangers come
to your village, the person who can firstly inform to us will be rewarded
100,000 kyats.
If any
person keeps a stranger will be fined 200,000 kyats. Army burnt villages;
victims are not allowed to take refuge in other village means whoever survives
from army’s cruel massacre “leave to death” in open fields without food and
shelters. Army open fired in DuDan Village of Maungdaw at 5PM on November 19,
where 4 dead bodies were found and 15 were missing including 5 children. As
Nobel Laureate ignores Rohingya and does not want resettle IDPs in their own places
and restore their rights, R2P should be implemented to save them.
