The Truth behind Rakhines’ Opposition to OIC’s Presence in Arakan | M.S. Anwar
Monday, 15th October 2012 ,Since the systematic ethnic cleansing of
Rohigyas was instigated on 8th June 2012, the atrocities against them
have been being carried out in large scale by Burmese regime in
cooperation with Rakhine terrorists. Rohingyas’ homes were burnt down
and thousands of them were displaced on their own land. Many thousands
of them were killed though Burmese officials grossly understated the
number of their deaths. Their properties were looted and their women and
under-aged girls were either raped or gang-raped by Military and
others. Their mosques and religious have been locked down. Their
educated people and other innocent people have been detained for
nothing. Their access to foods and medicines are blocked. In short,
their current situation in the state is worse than the condition of Jews
was in Nazi extermination camps during WWII.
Burmese regime and Rakhine extremists have lied, deceived and tried all
the tricks to cover up their crimes against humanity. In fact,
international community, today, knows Thein Sein more as a joker than a
president because of his frequent self-contradicting statements
regarding the situation. They have always tried to block any
international investigations and independent observers, international
media and worse still, even humanitarian assistances to the displaced
people. All these attempts have been for these purposes: to cover up the
grave crimes they have committed and to be able to kill more Rohingyas
silently either by direct means or with starvation by blocking their
access to foods and medicines. Rakhine community led by their extremist
leaders and backed by the regime has been constantly holding protest
against anything whichever they think can expose their crimes. Some of
them are:
1) They have held protests against the visit of UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, Mr. Tomas Ojea Quintana
2) They have held protest against NGOs under UN and other NGOs and
other INGOs. They (Rakhines) refused to accept their aids accusing that
they are biased. Probably Rakhine defines helping the worst suffering
victims, Rohingyas, too as BIASing. Anyway, Rakhines may not need
foreign aids as they have stocked enough rations by looting Rohingyas’
properties
3) They always block foreign media and investigation teams visiting the places of victimized Rohingyas
4) They opposed the visit of the humanitarian mission team from Indonesia
5) They opposed Malaysian Humanitarian Mission, too
6) Finally, they are holding a popular protest against OIC’s presence in Arakan.
Unlike local Burmese NGOs and activists who didn’t give even a damn look
into the Rohingyas’ sufferings let alone helping them, OIC, NGOs from
Muslim countries as well as UN NGOs have been giving the aids to both
Communities irrespective to race or religion. They are equally giving
aids to the both communities even though Rakhines suffered little in the
violence.
One might wonder, above all, why Rakhines are NAGGING too much and
suffering from serious PARANOIA! It is because OIC’s presence in Arakan
will discourage Rakhine extremists to continue their crimes to root out
Rohingyas from Arakan and will further delay achieving their
long-awaited dream of Maha-Rakkhita-Naing Ngan Daw Gri (an independent
Arakan). That’s why Rakhine extremist leaders are making their ladies
and the skinned-head fascists in saffron all out to the street to
protest against OIC’s presence in Arakan. How coward they can be that
they need to hide in their ladies’ sarongs to be able to do more
crimes!! Shamelessness has also its limits!!
Look around the world. Religious figureheads anywhere in the world
always try to broker peace among the communities in problems. But it is
opposite in the context of Burma because the skin-heads in saffron
(excluding few good monks) always incite more violence which itself
against Buddhism. The edict NOT to kill or inflict pains on others (even
on the smallest creatures) is integral to Buddhist thought. And see
these skin-head fascists in saffron are doing what! Besides, most of the
people in Burmese society are suffering from Kular-phobia and drowning
in the sea of delusional hatred. Siddartha Gautama Buddha, a Kular, of
Indian sub-continent would be much disgusted, were he alive, with the
way how his peaceful philosophy is manipulated by some self-centered
fascists.
Now Rakhines and their allies are protesting and demanding OIC to leave
Arakan ignoring the agreement made with the government. The only purpose
of OIC being there is just to give humanitarian aids to all the
suffering people. Besides, some fascist Rakhines are claiming that they
will accept the aids of any countries but of any Muslim countries. If
so, why did they oppose and make false allegations against NGOs under
UN? Are they Muslim NGOs? It is the insanity of Rakhine extremists to
think that international community, too, will think as stupid as they
do! There are thousands of Rohingyas who are at the moment critically
facing starvation and suffering from different kinds of diseases.
Now, the Bohmu Zaw Htay, the director of president office, has declared
that the government will temporarily make the agreement ineffective due
to the demonstrations of the Monks and Rakhine extremists and will have
tripartite meeting with OIC, government and the Monks. I hope OIC will
be able to continue helping the victims regardless of race and
religion.
Now, according to some reports, there will be more anti-Rohingya
protests in Maung Daw, Buthidaung, Yangon and Mandalay etc. According to
Rohingyas in Maung Daw, Rakhines have been planning to destroy the main
mosque in Maung Daw. In fact, they did try once to torch the mosque
recently. Now, Rohingyas are facing a do or die situation and they have
nothing more to lose. They might embrace whichever choice they have for
their survival as human beings. They are cornered so much so that they
have nowhere to escape. A cat will certainly bite back when it is
cornered and has no way to escape.
