“Must see
each other as human not as sub-human,” activist said. Visit here to read news updates

If we see as humans
each other, show and practice mutual respect, then it would be very easy to
solve all the problems not only in Rakhine State but also all over Myanmar but when
a group look at other as sub-humans, is impossible to come up into a solution.
This is what happening in Rakhine State, where the UN and the world has accused
Myanmar for human rights violations indeed the governments of Myanmar since
BSPP period to today’s NLD, are systematically creating the separation between
two minorities to whom called sister-community.
The Rakhines are
Buddhist and the Rohingya are Muslims, majorities are littler darker skinned
than Rakhines. Myanmar government and Rakhines intentionally blamed as
intruders from bordering Bangladesh, which appeared in 1971 but Rohingyas are
aborigines of Arakan (RakhineST), were also king makers according to historical
proofs but they denied by the power of arms like @Min_Aung_Hlaing, without any
proper proofs. Read here: https://twitter.com/mir_sidiquee/status/731793514581901312
Many activists have
challenged to sit together to proof each other about Rohingyas existence in
Arakan under the UN supervision but no one appeared for the game, even some
Rohingya activists have said “if we failed, you don’t have to drive us, we will
leave ourselves in a short period or we would be ever slave under Rakhines” but
no one appeared. It is glared that they are forcing to drive out Rohingyas for
dissimilarity of faith.
“The Rakhines and the
government of Myanmar call them “Bengali,” despite their identity and
historical proof are shown “Rohingya”, also their own wish to be identified as
“Rohingya,” UN organizations are trying to bring peace without solving the
roots of the problems, is like a joke and dancing behind the Suu Kyi’s
manipulations” Rohingya activist said.
More brainless
allegation is “No Rohingya in Myanmar,” is true, as Arakan was not a part of
Burma before 1784, the land (Arakan) was occupied by Burmese, Rohingyas were
one of the land (Arakan) owner. For about the Bangladesh, just appeared into
world map in 1971, west part of Arakan about 11,000 Square miles have been
reached under east Pakistan in 1947 then became part of Bangladesh.
For about the usage
of Myanmar government as “intruders from bordering Bangladesh;” Peoples like to
save their lives; no one jumps into fire rather than brainless human. Burma was
never peace, never rich, ever bloody and poor too. East Pakistan and today’s Bangladesh
is 100 times better than Burma/Myanmar. Intruding into Burma might be like
suicide, “I am 23 now, I saw nothing rather than hates and segregation, most
peoples are narrowing minded, and never saw peace and harmony nor feel save for
life” a Rohingya youth from Rakhine State who doesn’t want to be named for
security reason.
Conspiracies are
going on innocent Rohingyas along Mayu region, extra judicial killing, mass
arrest without any reason; gang rapes are taking place in daily basis. Read

Suggestions
If the government of
Myanmar is willing to be peace in the region, should not ignore minors, must
see the Rohingyas as human beings, not as sub-humans. Must be restored their
ethnic rights as they are sons of the soil and aborigines of the land then continue
towards development process, for the sake of the image of Myanmar. If ignored,
the land would not be stable forever, nothing can do there, and even entire
country would be destabilized.
