Rohingya Rescue a Buddhist Monastery from Blaze in Buthidaung

MYARF Report | Written by M.S. Anwar March 18, 2014 Rvisiontv.com Buthidaung, Arakan- A Buddhist monastery at the village of Guta Pyin (Godam Fara) in Buthidaung Township caught fire around 10AM on 16th March 2014. Monks at the monastery shouted out for help and local Rohingyas came to extinguish the fire. “It was around 10AM on 16th March 2014 that some structures of the monastery at Guta Pyin (Godam Fara) caught fire. Monks shouted out for help. There was scarcely any Rakhine to help them. Hence, Rohingyas from the nearby areas came out and extinguished the fire together with the monks (who had only been throwing soil at the fire before the arrival of the Rohingyas) before it caught the main monastery building. The reason behind the fire on the monastery was apparently from the remnants of the burning wood at the nearby forest” said a local of the Guta Pyin. “No one has been arrested in relation to the cause of the fire. But as usual, some Rakhine extremists ar

Rohingyas need attention

By Mashhood Roohul Amin  Arab News March 19, 2014 Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar have been the target of atrocities perpetrated by the local population. The international community has all along been indifferent to their plight. World leaders who claim to be the protagonists of human rights have done nothing to alleviate the sufferings of these people. More international issues have lately cropped up placing the Rohingya problem on the back burner. Syria, Ukraine and Iran are a few of them.  Although Myanmar claims it is moving toward democracy and human rights icon Suu Kyi, who had endured hardships for two decades under Burma’s former military junta, is now a parliamentarian things have not changed, instead they have worsened.  It is an irony that Suu Kyi had been fighting human rights violation all along her life but when she got an opportunity to act she chose to keep silent at the brutalities perpetrated on the Rohingya Muslims.  Doctors Without Borders had

By Eric Randolph, AFP March 18, 2014 Amir Hussain, a Rohingya Muslim, lost a dozen members of his family to sectarian violence in Myanmar last year. He fled to Nepal where the country's policy on refugees has left him among hundreds trapped, jobless and mired in debt.

Master Plan incomplete, nationwide protest by Thein Sein

By Aung Aung  The Stateless March 16, 2014 Sittwe Arakan State: Demonstration is taken place with the help of authority in Arakan state against Rohingya. The 969 terrorist’s leader of Burma, Wirathu, was sent to Arakan State to preach on 10th March 2014. “How can we protect Arakan”. Protection the land of a country, Burma, is Army’s duty, but it is not the duty of Saffron-man like Wirathu. Who gave him chance to preach that?  On 13 March 2014, terrorist Media, Eleven, wrote “Use of the term ‘Rohingya’ by Bengalis to describe their ethnic name in the national census is causing concern among non-Bengali local residents” Eleven Media knows Rohingya History because 100s of documents regarding Rohingya were sent to it by the Rohingya community leaders. Again it abuses Rohingya with the help of State. All Rakhine terrorists, extremist media and State’s media use the term Bangali for Rohingya because they have a plan of Rohingya Genocide. Eleven Media has been with te
