Why Rohingya and Muslim population in Rakhine is too low? Ethnic Cleansing in progress?

About 3-4 hundred thousand Rohingya Muslims in Mayu district in Northern Rakhine in 1961. According to the Myanmar Government, Rakhine Government, Buddhist Rakhines and 969 Bamas led by Wirathu, Rohingya birth rate is very high. So after 50 years there should be about 3-4 million Rohingyas in that area alone. There are a lot of Rohingyas, Kamans, Indian Muslims and Myanmar Muslims in other parts of Rakhine. Now Myanmar government’s official amount of Muslims in whole Myanmar is 4% of 60 million = 2.4 million. UN led Independent Investigators and professionals should investigate what happened to those Rohingyas and Muslims of Myanmar. Ethnic Cleansing done? Religious Cleansing done?

Germany voices Rohingya concerns

German President Joachim Gauck delivers a speech at Yangon University in Yangon on Tuesday.

(AFP photo) By Bangkok Post February 11, 2014 YANGON - German President Joachim Gauck on Tuesday raised concerns over clashes between Myanmar's majority Buddhist and minority Muslim communities, especially the Rohingyas. There has been a surge in sectarian violence since 2012 when fighting broke out in Rakhine State, home to about 800,000 Rohingya Muslims who were made stateless by a law passed in 1982. ''I am concerned, as are so many others, when I hear of the ongoing violence between Buddhists and Muslims in your country,'' Mr Gauck said in a speech at Yangon University, during an official visit to Myanmar. At least 167 people died in the 2012 clashes, and 120,000 were made homeless, most of them Rohingyas

At the times, a Shan police requested to Rakhine police to spare innocent Rohingya, but Rakhine police did not hear him. Meanwhile, another 2 Rohingya came and fought with Rakhine one, but innocent Shan police was accidentally injured and sent  him to the hospital.  The next day, Rakhine authority announced Shan police had died in the hospital. We had doubt that Rakhine authority  killed him intentionally to create violence and to remove a good police.  On same day, two Rohingya teenagers were arrested: Muhammed Karim, son of Elyas, 12 years old and Amir Husein, son of Abdul Shukkur, 13 years old, are both cousin brothers.  Two weeks ago, a Police told a Rohingya that both of them died in police lock-up. I tweeted that information when I was informed by a Rohingya who had to live with Rakhine police that t
