Burmese Generals have systematically planned Rohingya
genocide since 1970s and committed atrocities against Rohingya with intent to
destroy Rohingya’s history, ethnic rights and the rights of citizenship.
Notorious Dictator Ne Win persecuted them through several genocidal operations
to drive them out of the country that caused more than 300,000 refugees fled to
Bangladesh in 1978.
Ne Win deliberately changed the term “Rohingya” into
“Chittagonian” in 1974 to accuse them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
Uncountable Rohingya civilians have been killed through persecution and
genocidal operations since 1970s; 1000s of Rohingya were tortured to death
under police and military custody.
Since 2012, Myanmar government had staged many violence
against Rohingya; it staged massacres in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, 1000s
of Rohingya’s homes were burnt down, uncountable Rohingya died in the sea and
forests while fleeing from genocidal violence by risky boats.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims have been
forced to flee from their homes in Myanmar. Sky News has witnessed distressing
scenes including babies being dumped and left to die on beaches. Sky’s Alex
Crawford travels to Myanmar’s Rakhine State, witnessing first-hand the
military’s brutal crackdown on Rohingya Muslims.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya lost their lives
escaping from persecution and more than half of the whole Rohingya population
scattered all over the globe in hope of secure lives. Thousands of journalists
and reporters have already witnessed the inhumanely atrocities of Burmese
military against Rohingya such as mass killing, gang rape, arson attacks for
the destruction of the whole Rohingya community, torture to death, blockage for
the starvation of Rohingya to death, ban of medical access to death and arbitrarily
arrest.
Thousands of babies died during Rohingya Holocaust.
The methodical killing of 7,000 Bosnian Muslims in
Srebrenica in 1995 was genocide. If you investigate systematically, you could
realize at least hundred thousands Rohingya have been killed through
persecution by Burmese genociders since 1990. Of course, elimination of
Rohingya’s history can be referred to “ethnic cleansing” but overall crisis is
a clear-cut genocide.
Why don’t you clearly say “Rohingya Genocide”
and act according to law to end it?
More than 600,000 Rohingya have arrived in Bangladesh
since a military crackdown in Myanmar in August triggered an exodus. Since
1970, more than million Rohingya fled to Bangladesh several times to escape
from the atrocities of Burmese military. In 1978 and 1993, limited Rohingya had
been repatriated by the State. Now, Suu Kyi government is also using the same
policy like Burmese generals; rather Suu Kyi government is worse than military
junta issuing genocidal National Verification Cards for Rohingya as if they
illegally entered into Myanmar from Bangladesh.
Suu Kyi urged Foreign Minister of United States and other
foreign diplomats not to use sensitive terms “Bengali” and “Rohingya” but her
State’s media have been continuously using “Bengali” for Rohingya to make them
illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. With the help of selfish blood-sucking
China, Myanmar rejects every resolution of United Nations and ignores
international law.
