According to meeting held by Maungdaw Administration with
the villagers at the High School on 24/01/2017, Myanmar government has plans to
remove Wa-Baik village of Kyi Kan Pyin village tract in Maungdaw north.
After 9 October attack on police out post, Wa-Baik
village was burned to ash by Myanmar Army and BGP along with many villages in northern
Maungdaw.
Township authority of Maungdaw plans to remove the
remaining homes of Wa-Baik and Middle hamlet of Kyi Kan Pyin village tract and
to re-establish them into another place. The villagers said “they were living
there since more than their generations and they want to stay there too.”
A village elder who attended the meeting said, the ill
motive behind the violence of Myanmar’s brutal government against the innocent
Rohingya civilians along northern Arakan especially in Maungdaw has been glared
now.
The villagers (Rohingyas) are saying too sadly that it is
unacceptable as the government has confiscated all the lands of particular village track since 1992 then newly plans to remove from their generation’s home yards and relocate them to
another place.
