The Burma border security force (Nasaka) used tactics to
confiscate the Rohingyas’ land since it established in the Maungdaw and
Buthidaung and handed over to the civil and arm force socity to use these
confiscated land as project of their own. Most of the lands were provided to
resettled Buddhist community who were brought from Bangladesh and central Burma
by the ordered of Gen. Khin Nyint who was the main figure to establish the
Nasaka, said a politician from Maungdaw.
“The Nasaka and township authority confiscated more than
5000 acres from Rohingya community in Maungdaw which was provided to the
Buddhist settlers.”
Recently, Township administration officer U Kyi San provided
more than 500 acres of arable lands to Rakhine community who recently entered
in Maungdaw with the help of Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) and
Maungdaw high level officers. The lands were seized and forcefully confiscated
from Rohingya community from Maungdaw, said an officer who didn’t want to
mention his name.
“U Kyi San, the Township admin officer forcefully
confiscated Rohingya lands after conflict of 2012 with giving allegation that
the people are not available in the areas, but the persons were listed and
issues arrest warrant by Nasaka and police for involving in the conflict in
2012. The persons were in the areas, hiding from the security force for fear of
arrest which authority said not available in the areas.”
“It is one kind of allegation to confiscate the Rohingyas’
land and to provide the Buddhist settlers where the authority and RNDP promised
to give them home, land and supporting foods, if they migrate into Burma from
Bangladesh.”
Recently, 65 family – new Bangladeshi Buddhist settlers-
occupied the Rohingyas’ grazing grounds of
Du Chee Yartan (Kilaidaung) village to establish new Natala village with
the help of Maungdaw authority, said the
owner of the lands.
