Rakhine Buddhist communities who have been escaped
dramatically for fear of so call ARSA attack in Maungdaw and Buthidaung are
denying to be returned their homes as Rohingyas (they call Bangali interloper
Kala) are there in Maungdaw and Buthidaung.
Shocked on those who are creating these kinds of dramas
and worthless allegation as no ARSA was attacked on them, was fabricated by
government of Myanmar and Rakhine extremists.
First of all, it is very important to know about the
region, Mayu, included Maungdaw and Buthidaung, more than 1200 Sq miles. There
were very little Rakhines, more than 80% of the population were Rohingya
Muslims. In this Mayu region, there were less than 30 Rakhine Mogh villages,
along the mountain; no villages were included more than 20 families because of
fighting each other, every evening after taking hard drink. There is a proverb
used to say whoever quarrel at evening time "Are you Mogh, are you
drunk" means that they were quarreling each other evening time as they
used to drink local made hard drink.
Leave it, let’s continue......
Most of Rakhines in Mayu region were farm labour into
Rohingya houses. They were working odd jobs and labour in Rohingyas farms in
monthly or yearly wages.
Some of them left 1942, moved to Sittwe and other towns.
In 1942 some 100,000 Rohingyas were mercilessly killed by
Rakhines in Kyauktaw, Minbya, Myauk U and such other towns. Some Rohingyas were
survived from that massacre, they moved into Mayu region.
The survived Rohingyas were tried to attack on local
Rakhines of Mayu region as local Rohingyas were friendly with Rakhines, unable
to attack on them.
These Rakhines are actually not those who were living in generation. These are settlers on Rohingya's lands according NaTaLa program.
NaTaLa program is one of most dangerous, legalized by
Ex-Gen Khin Nyunt, is to confiscate the lands and belongings of Rohingyas, to
settle Buddhist along Rohingya’s land. Such about 40 villages are settled along
Mayu region, in each village there are more than 100 houses, equipped with
lethal arms.
Rakhine settlers are equipped with lethal Arms. Read

As Rohingya refugees demanded for return of confiscated
lands and properties, the settlers must move from the land. Therefore the
settler Rakhines are not daring to return back to the home on forced
confiscated lands.
As for a simple example of Tha Yet Oat, locally called it
Mungala; a village situated about 120 mile distance to north from downtown of Maungdaw.
There are three Rakhine villages in the village track (Tha Yet Oat).
Among Rakhine villages the first & oldest one is only a
single house surrounding Rohingya houses, the second one is with
8 houses and third one is called Abujja Fara or Anokya Fara about 50 houses. Rakhines
from Abujja Fara are not original, intruders, no one in the village now but the
single house and 8 houses are full and fully collaborated with Rohingyas. They
are original Rakhines of the village.
At the beginning of the violence, Rakhines from Abujja
Fara were tried to attack on Muslims of the village but original Rakhines who
are too familiar with Muslims said “we and these peoples are living together in
this village since generations, don’t create any noise here, be quiet or quit.”
As for intruder Rakhines they are not daring to stay along all over Mayu Region because they are settlers on Rohingya’s land, must move whenever Rohingya refugees arrive back.
