The international
community should be past the point of wondering whether or not ethnic cleansing
is really going on in the Rakhine state

They say if you
repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth; and it looks like that is the
mantra among Myanmar’s military these days.
When satellite
images incontestably show whole villages in the Rakhine state occupied by the
Rohingya burned to the ground, it is indeed a rather bold-faced lie to say that
the Rohingya “conveniently left for Bangladesh but they did not flee from
Myanmar in panic.”
Following
international criticism, Myanmar’s military has staged something of a sham
investigation into violence perpetrated, which necessarily spells conflict of
interest because the military is conducting an investigation into its own
actions.
If they are so
confident that human rights are not being violated, why have they repeatedly
refused the UN’s requests to investigate the Rakhine situation?
In fact, they have
refused entry to a UN panel tasked with looking into allegations of abuse after
a smaller military counteroffensive launched last year.

The international
community should be past the point of wondering whether or not ethnic cleansing
is really going on in the Rakhine state — the killing is happening and that is
a fact.
Time is of the
essence here as every day thousands of refugees are forced to flee from their
homes and the influx into Bangladesh is becoming dangerous for our own security
and well being.
Myanmar’s tactics
are clearly designed to prevent or stall international action, and the longer
the UN and other international agencies take to act, the closer the Myanmar
army will come to achieving its brutal goals.
