U Myint Swe visits Rohingya IDP camp in Sittwe

"#NVC is most grisly and genocidal for the future of #Rohingyas"

 The Vice President, U Myint Swe and his team visited the Thet Kay Pyin IDP camp, Sittwe Township, Arakan and met the Internally Displaced Persons during the meeting on 17 February 2017 at about 3: 00 pm.

Myint Swe said, “We are focusing on building peace between the different groups in the state. The situation has been calm and curfew order was decreased in Maungdaw. Everyone must abide by the rules of the country. You are vulnerable people here inside the country. So you better know how you are feeling more than the people out of the country. If anyone says from outside the country that some food is very delicious, you can’t taste it whether it is really delicious or not. So you don’t need to listen to the voice coming from outside of the country. You need to follow rules and regulations of the country as you are vulnerable people in the ground. The solution to stay peacefully for you is just to accept NVC”.


One of Rohingya youths said, “U Ko Ni was assassinated last month and International community is asking Myanmar government to handle the case fairly and to prove who is behind this murder. But it depends on the government and all the public in Myanmar. So the master key to solve the problem is in the hand of government”.

We don’t know yet who has super power in our country. Here is Mr. U Nyi Pu who is the Chief Minister of Arakan before us. But shamefully to say that he doesn’t have the power that minister should have. If someone says something for violated rights of Muslims (not only Rohingya but also all Muslims in our country) a group of Buddhist extremists namely 969 (Ma Ba Tha) and Wira Thu start protesting against it.

But no action is taken against the criminal. So where’s the law and order? Who has the power to control such hatred groups? Why is no influence of law and order on such dirty work? As far as we know all the power is in the hand of Kar Lone (Defense Services -military regime).


Kar Lone is responsible for all things to solve fairly. And we Rohingya have been living here for centuries. We have historical evidences of being citizens of Myanmar. But the government and most of Rakhine people say we migrated here from another country and we don’t deserve citizenship. Why don’t you government arrange a historical debate between Rohingya historians and historians from those who deny Rohingya Identity as citizens under the UN delegation and International community?


If we can’t prove our Rohingya identity in that debate we are ready to be registered as immigrant Bengali forever. If we can prove, our Rohingya identity in that debate, we must be registered as citizens of Myanmar and we must have all rights that the citizens deserve. Then the problem will be solved.”

Then U Myint Swe said nothing but one of their colleagues said, “What you said is absolutely right but it is political issue. We came here with the issue of peace and reconciliation.”

Then the delegation left Thet Kay Pyin camp at 3:40 pm.
