This is Rathidaung, one of the seventeen townships in Arakan state, Burma. There are five Rohingya villages in Rathidaung Township; Soe Pyan (Pan Gaing), Kuduk Chaung (Koun Dan), Sera Pyan (Kraru Koun Dan), Pran Haung (Praung Chaung) and Anauk Pyan.

On 12th June 2012, Rakhines and Military attacked Kuduk Chaung village, killed two women, looted all the valuable properties; golden ornaments and money, burnt down the entire village having forty-nine houses including one Mosque and driven out all the villagers to Chin Kali Rohingya village. Now they are staying in others houses and no assistance was available since the riot. They have to wrest money to Inn Din and Kyawk Pan Du Border Security Force (Nasaka) camps when they come across to appeal for donation from the other places.
Rakhine, Police and Nasaka assaulted Soe Pyan had 297 Rohingya houses on 13 June 2012. During the attack, a woman and two children were killed. After robbery all properties, they torched up into ashes the complete village including two Mosques and one Madarasa (Religious Arabic College). They were temporarily staying in Kodan Kauk Rohingya village. They were also not receiving any support from INGOs and government. They also had to pay money to Inn Din and Kyawk Pan Du Nasaka camps who willing to support the displaced Rohingya.
On 21st June 2012, Rakhine, Police and Military attacked to Paran Chaung Rohingya village of 145 houses. They killed one woman, looted all the valuable things consist of gold, money, clothes and rice, torched up the whole village including one Mosque and got away all the villagers to Chin Kali Rohingya village. Now they are staying in other people’s houses and no helps received since the violence. The persons were going to donate food and other household items need to squeeze money to Inn Din and Kyawk Pan Du Nasaka camps.
Rakhine and army assaulted and tortured severely to Sera Pyan having 230 Rohingya houses on 19 June 2012. One man and two women were killed. They looted all the precious things like gold and money, they were forcibly driven out all villagers to Kodan Kauk village and now they are staying in a Mango farm of Mullah Abul Hashim. No ration and food were provided to them. After driving out away, the Rakhine and local police looted all the household materials and burnt down into ashes the full village including one Mosque and one big Madarasa (Religious Arabic University).
On 19th June 2012, Rakhine and Police resumed attacking to Anauk Pyan village of 280 family houses. Sixty Rohingya (men and women) were brutally killed by shooting and cutting with long swords and sharpen knife. Two days later, 183 Rohingya men were arrested and took Sittway central Jail where inhumanly treating, according to report of eye witness. More than fifty houses were burnt down including one big Mosque. The racist Rakhine and security forces looted all the properties. The victims were sheltering in other parts of the village which was remained being not destroyed.

Since the excited conflict of Rakhine terrorists jointly with Burmese government, no aid provided and also no permission to work for those displaced Rohingya people. So, all the Rohingya victims from Rathidaung Township are hardly living in other villages where no adequate food and medical centres for them. They need to give money to Inn Din and Kyawk Pan Du Nasaka camps when someone comes across to beg for donation from outside.
