HINTS ARE ENOUGH TO GET THE BIG PICTURE
“Ako-lore’ Isha-r’a Be-ako-lore’ Te’-sha-ra’. ( A Rohingya
Proverb)
By Aung Aung
Hints are enough to get the big
picture for the intellectuals but stinging satires of the whole World cannot
change the attitude of an ignorance.(Nearest translation of the Proverb)
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s
government has denied allegations by international organizations of rape,
extrajudicial killings and arson against the Rohingya minority by the Burma
Army during Clearance Operations in Northern Arakan.
UN Urges State Counsellor, Nobel
Laureate Suu Kyi to Visit Maungdaw. Special adviser to the UN Secretary-General
on Burma Vijay Nambiar said the State Counsellor should listen to her “inner
voice” and ask the people of Burma “to rise above their ethnic, religious and
other differences and to advance human dignity, harmony and mutual cooperation
between all communities.” Doesn’t she know what kind of atrocities against
Rohingya taking place in Northern Maungdaw since 9 October 2016 and who are
those Rohingya?
Of course, she knows well about
decades long Rohingya persecution and army’s atrocities against them. She said
“We have been cooperating very well. We have been working together with
military. Because in the Rakhine State, the police and military have had to
work together. Of course, the police come under the civilian administration.”
She knows well who are the
Rohingya and State’s Policy of Rohingya Genocide but her ignorance doesn’t
allow her to utter the reality. She knows about the ongoing genocidal process
against Rohingya as she knows her own sons. Then, you may ask me “Why do you
use ignorance for her?”
There are two sorts of
ignorances. The first is due to lack of education; a person denies a reality
because he or she does not know it. The second is obstinate rejection; a person
knows but does not accept; he or she is certain issue but does not want to
affirm and his or her conscience does not submit. If the person is obstinate,
persistent, recalcitrant, and mounted on compounded ignorance, he will not be
silent but will defend himself or herself. For it is characteristic of
corrupters to look on their corruption as good and useful. For by nature, man
does not perpetrate iniquitous acts thinking they are iniquitous.
Regarding the facts of Rohingya
Genocide, despite differences in capacity and outlook, Aung San Suu Kyi knows
that it has such evidence that it cannot be even doubted. The only way for the
denial is to oppose it and display her ignorance and her obstinacy with respect
to negative matters that admit neither of denial nor affirmation.
Closing her eyes, she says ” I
don’t know Rohingya and genocide is a “fabrication” as if she is denying
existence of the Sun though she feels heat and sunlight. It cannot be described
what an extraordinary ignorance and foolishness it is, not to recognize
Rohingya and deny State’s genocidal process against them.
Like generals, Myanmar State
Counsellor is criminally responsible for the unfolding genocide. Saying
“Clearance Operations are based on rule of law”, she admitted that law does not
represent morality or ethics. Hints are enough to get the big picture of
Rohingya Genocide.
Now, thousands of evidences
regarding Rohingya persecution by the Burmese authority are available
Worldwide. What make you reluctant to ignore the Rohingya? Does your morality
allow you to support genociders of Rohingya if you are a true human?
