Myanmar has been
the scene of deadly clashes over the past twelve months.
According to
reports by the I-H-H, Humanitarian Relief Foundation, a large number of
villages were torched and thousands of Muslims were killed brutally.
Tens of thousands
were also displaced.
Those who were able
to escape the country, went to neigboring Bangladeshi refugee camps where they
are trying to survive depending on what humanitarian relief groups like the IHH
provides for them.
Recently the
violence has spread to 12 different cities in Arakan Region, only 3 of which
NGOs can enter, which actually makes it impossible to come up with accurate
numbers of Muslims who have been killed, tortured or displaced. The massacre
the Arakanese people have been subjected to is unbelievable. Reports of Muslims
being burned alive, buried alive, womenbeing raped, people being tortured to
death keep coming in from those who have visited the region. Many humanitarian
relief workers are complaining about the inaction of the international
community. Said Demir of the I H H is one of them:
An international
rights group has accused senior authorities in Myanmar of organizing 'a
campaign of ethnic cleansing' against the Rohingya Muslim minority.
As the pictures
indicate very clearly, Arakan Region of Myanmar is no less than a disaster zone
where bloody attacks has left hundreds of Muslims dead and forced 125-thousand
of them to flee from their homes in 2012.
