After cracking down the mass saffron monks’ peaceful demonstration in Lat-Pan-Daung by the police task forces on 29 November 2012, the whole Buddhist religious monks have since been rigorously aroused to put in order for hotheaded entire saffron demonstration -- which would obviously, many people believe, blame on President U Thein Sein for impeachment in his executive power --- such a move by mass monks apparently contrary to the previous similar saffron ‘fair enough demonstration’  held in September, supporting President Thein Sein for his prudent dialogue with UNHCR high ranking official to expel innocent Rohingyas people from Myanmar to third country if any accept to them. 

Having the state intolerant managements and survival of the consecutive Myanmar governments nature been double-cross and relying on provoking among communities particularly between Muslims and Buddhists, they have really been able to overcome and easing the relevant crisis by averting original movement through finding the scapegoats.

To divert the mass Buddhist depressing people from recent cracking down on Monks in Lat-Pan-Daung and in the one hand the government to be seen as champion in oppressing innocent Rohingyas people --- which many monks will be affectionate of love--- there, date on 01/12/12, were the random shootings by armed forces against Rohingyas people who were sheltered in makeshift in Thay-Chaung IDPs camp—six innocent Rohingyas were deadly hurt in their bodies and it is learnt that they were being hospitalized in Sittwe and some are very critical condition.

In the last September 2012, President U Thein Sein has fortunately delivered a deceitful landmark speech in the United Nations General Assembly Hall, promising the world that he would accomplish and fulfill every single legitimate right of stateless Rohingyas people and that was the last time, before president Obama’s visit, he could escape from international community’s criticism pertaining the systematic genocide of Rohingyas people for six months long ignorance and leaving the chaos uncheck by the government --- even U Thein Sein could layout sugarcoated words to UNSG and he had happily agreed on it and warned the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) not to rush for the sake of Rohingyas’ solution at the United Nations session.

No sooner had U Thein Sein arrived from the UN trip – which was widely applauded at Yangon International Airport as a remark of state successful amoral journey by the mass crowd - than there were another the historical destructive sweeps up along southern Rakhine state Muslim minority townships -- such as Min-Bya, Pauk-Taw, Myay-Bone, Kyauk-Pyu, Kyauk-Taw, Mrauk-Oo, Kyauk-ni-Maw and sporadically in Than-Dway Township too.

The chaos has resulted many Rohingyas villages burned to ashes, many innocent people were burned alive, stabbed to dead, many were forcefully and helplessly evicted from their houses to be floating on water and as a result mass people were dead in the floating boats without food and drinking water in the sea. From June 2012 to before President Obama’s visit on 19 November 2012, the state sponsored slaughtering and annihilated conspiracy against innocent Rohingyas people was being evidently applied by the hand of Rakhine state administration and that of the widely RNDP members along Rakhine state in accord the government statement.

Again, President U Thein Sein has hurriedly issued an announcement and promised on 18th November 2012 before arrival of President Barack H. Obama that he would fairly settle all outstanding issues – Rohingyas people from having locally been displacement to honorably relocation to their original places and from statelessness to citizenship in accord the international criteria.  

Rohingyas people’ inhumane suffering and continuous sorts of state sponsored discriminatory policies practicing on Rohingyas by the Union government and Rakhine state administration have ever been widely acknowledged in international arena—particularly while Rakhine Buddhists could not keep suppress their ill feeling and hostility against sisterly Rohingyas community in Rakhine state since last May, 2012 as of now.

All relevant government departments, organizations, police, paramilitary and military forces, Buddhist monks, journals, journalists and Rakhine political parties and all identical members are sided by the state discriminatory policies and all these forces have been the primary sources to carry on all vicious acts on Rohingyas in the one hand and they have been hampering international media and journalists’ access to the affected community in fear of revealing the truth and fitting as perpetrators in caustic action along the way from the other.

The failure to expose the relevant perpetrators in the course of the crisis by the two commissions which were orderly formed by the President concerning Rakhine state anarchy, the entire Rohingyas people fairly believe that -- the case not only to find out the culprits who involved in the chaos but also to blueprint a lasting solution which will guarantee the legitimate rights of Rohingyas stand in the hand of the international community -- and also believe Rohingyas’ sensitive issues at this juncture would not be swept under the rug or kept unsolved by the world civilized human society.

The United Nations (UN) is believed to be representing 6.5 billion peoples to shape the globe as a peaceful coexistence of every nation of the world -- recent United Nations resolution in regard Rohingyas plight--who are being regarded as the most persecuted people on earth--the Myanmar representatives to the United Nations have objected the word ‘Rohingyas’. Similarly, in local, the RNDP’s board of directors, its chairperson and that of the party members are totally against the name ‘Rohingyas’ and its existence in Myanmar.

Not only that, President Obama’s speech inclusion the name “Rohingyas” in Yangon University Convocation Hall on 19th November 2012 is being echoed by RNDP party as an absurd objection-- it saying that no matter whoever the most powerful man on earth or whichever powerful the most organization that be – both government of Myanmar and RNDP’s attitude toward the name Rohingyas and the people are plainly a nuisance forever.  More evidently, RNDP’s chairperson, U Aye Maung, and its party members have the nastiest attitude on Rohingyas and they will not listen to anyone advice from inside or outside—they (U Aye Maung & his followers) think they are above all.

The attitude of the government and RNDP party have proven that if the United Nations can lawfully recognize such an ethnic group “Rohingyas” of the world as “the most persecuted one” after thoroughly making them into consideration for years of constant observation than everyone of us will easily come to realize that which government is “the most oppressive and suppressive” and who are ‘the most cruel and vindictive’ sisterly community along with Rohingyas in Rakhine state, Myanmar. The answer is “the Myanmar consecutive governments and sisterly Rakhine or Magh people”.  

It has been widely believed that the United States imposed economic sanction on Myanmar has been subjected its military government brutality on ethnic peoples, ethnic cleansing, arbitrarily arrest of politicians, long term imprisonment of political prisoners and all sorts of discriminatory policies against transition to democratic reform process.  People all walks of live believed that as long as the government failed to fulfill the commitment it had promised to concerned stakeholders, the premature United States partial economic lifting on Myanmar would not solve the standing problems which have been existed unsettled among the ethnic, democratic forces and pro-military government.   It has been very clear that the United States has proven its commitment to lessen the economic sanctions, which were time by time imposed in earlier days, after seeing some steps of Myanmar’s newly quasi-democratic government development.

General Myanmarese have been grateful about the government’ careful introduction of freedom of writing, freedom speech, and freedom of assembling, formation of political parties, releasing of political conscience, and holding election and by-election as the promising steps of democratic practice. Freedom of speech, assembling and writing which had been totally banned for more than fifty years --for each group of national indigenous people-- have just been allowed to speak, assembling mass people and writing freely everything even incitement about bloodsheds which have caused several time eruptions and lost many innocent Rohingyas people lives along Rakhine state and that still linger to be the scorching issues as unsolved within local as well as international.  

Many democratic inspired Myanmar activists --who have been struggling against military government and nowadays participated in the process of democratic reform—do want to live through and entertain the full right within the framework of democratization but don’t want for other particularly due to Rohingyas lest they (Rohingyas) would deserve the same outstanding rights – simply because Rohingyas people look different than the people in Myanmar and they are of different religion, race and physical affinity. In our present-day periods, the grouping has been built within Burmese, who are Buddhists, having the reason of their common Buddhism faith.

To tell the truth, before 11th century Arakan (Rakhine) was an Indian land with a population of similar to that of Bengal but until 11th century, they (Rohingyas) were almost Hindu believers. Nowadays’ Rohingyas who have been residing in Arakan state are the sons of the soil and the descendants of Indo-Arian people who have first settled in Arakan (Rakhine) state, in accord with all the historical records the stone inscription which are still existed in ‘Shit-Thaung-Pagoda’ by the name of “Ananda-Sandra” inscription which were written in three languages – Bengla, Sanskrit and Pali are all in Nagari alphabet. This has been very clear evidences that Rohingyas people are two hundred earlier settlers than Rakhine Buddhist Mongoloid people who are one of the mainstreams of the Mongoloid Burman.

At the moment, there are survey team works relevant to immigration where there are Rohingyas Muslims along Rakhine state,  during the “form filling-up”, Rohingyas people could not spell their race as their racial identity-- government staffers do not like and usually threatening the local Rohingyas to be arrested and tortured if they say Rohingyas and in some counties Rohingyas are being arrested and imposed big amount of money who spells the Rohingyas as his or her racial identity rather than Bengali, which the Thein Sein government forcefully wanted Rohingyas to be  legalized as just immigrants from Bangladesh --- though  Rohingyas identically being the indigenous of Myanmar along the course of the then democratic periods in the last 50 years ago—meaning 50 years ago Rohingyas are indigenous nationalities of Myanmar and after 50 years the quasi democratic government wants Rohingyas as immigrants Bengali as per the wishes of RNDP and its alliances in the same nation.

We are very concerned about Thein Sein government’ forceful survey on Rohingyas people to verify our Rohingyas identity into Bengali --- instead the historical survey should under the supervision of local, regional and international justifiers be in line of the wishes of the local people. If President Thein Sein is real reformer of the state affairs of Myanmar, there is no reason to stop and suppress our Rohingyas people rights which had been in the course of Myanmar democratic periods fifty years ago.
