Helicopters Fire on Rohingya Refugees

[Developereo]

More than 80 people have been killed in a wave of communal violence in western Myanmar this month, a government official said Thursday, as local people said they still feared for their lives.

Death tolls are rising every day and no ends in sight.

This is the official statement from the Burmese government which is known to be highly prejudiced against the Rohingyas. Independent reports would be more credible.

You can safely add two zeroes to the right of that figure. And the numbers are substantial in the no man's land and in the boats. Burma routinely put anti-perso mines on the border. Even in normal times that cause casualty to human and animals alike. This is a stupendous human tragedy.

Yeah, you'd love there to be thousands of deaths so you could recruit your little mujahids and wage your stupid war. Your rhetoric is empty my dear political agent.

A total of 62 people have been killed in Myanmar's riot-hit Rakhine state from May 28 to June 21, a local government official told the local press media Thursday.

The number of deaths now is 62 and mostly likely will increase as days go on. If situations get out of hand things can deteriorate very bad.

Death toll 62 isn't acceptable, alone the incidents of firing and drowning 3 boats from helicopters will make the number more than 150 let alone all other persecutions taking place in mainland.

If the army didn't step in that's a problem in itself and I don't know what are they waiting for because the killing can only get worst. Very soon it'll reach a point of no return and becomes wholesale massacre. The Government of Myanmar must take all responsibilities to protect all her minorities, no 2 ways about it.

It seems army will accelerate the massacre than protecting Rohingyas. This blog says army opened fire in a village named Gawdusara on June 20:

How can the Rohingya's arm themselves? Do we need to wait till BAL is out of power? Or can it be done before that somehow?

We got to step back for the time being now. You were right about the number game of Rohingiyas in Arakan as Burmese already successfully displaced most of them out of their country. The best bet would be to arm Rakhaine. They want a independent country filled with natural resources. Once the Rakhaine gets what they want then we can always negotiate a piece of pie from them for the Rohingiyas.

That would be nice, but I am not sure if it can be done, as it might be a little too late. Rakhines have been armed and Rakhine militia's are now killing Rohingya's. Earlier it used to be that Bamar Army was doing the ethnic cleansing, now without getting their hands dirty and to hide under plausible deniability, they are using Rakhines. So we may have missed the boat for this opportunity to work with Rakhines already.

It was a sectarian violence and Rakhaine militia was not involved and they usually dont in any armed conflict. Once they start getting blessing from BD then they will make sure that Rohingiyas are safe for their own interest. A good example ULFA who actually gave protection to Muslim Bengali in Assam. After Babri Mosque incidence, ULFA came out openly to protect Bengalis in Assam.

^The Rakhines were intending to fight both the Junta and the Rohingyas at the same time.

The Rohingyas simply do not have the population, the experience, training, money or the organization mount a rebellion. It has always been that way since the beginning.

And people over there are apparently frightened that they'll turn Myanmar into an Islamic Caliphate. Biggest joke ever.

I do not think the Rakhines would be willing now since this new "democratization" process is taking place.

That would be a great scenario, what say you asad71 Bhai, is it possible? Will Rakhines work with Bangladesh to liberate Arakan?

asad71 Bhai seems like he has some on the ground experience or at least are in touch with some people who have, so lets see what he has to say.

Democratization is a sham, no one trusts Bamar's. Only thing is Bamar junta army has become too rich and too big with too many equipment.

If we can start a whole bunch of fires at the same time, like Kachin, Karen, Mon, Shan and Rakhine and in the Indian North East as well, then the whole region will become destabilized which will put Indian Brahman and the pesky bummer wannabe imperialists at the back foot. But for this to happen, we need backing of big powers in this project, either China or USA or ideally both. Without backing India cannot be neutralized.

You are too naive... Democracy or no democracy there wont be any shortage of unemployed poor in Rakhaine....

The song in the background is beautiful.

I don't know....maybe....things are just too unpredictable over there.

Although, the Burmans are predictable. It is true that unemployment is very high in Burma.

If there isn't any solution to the refugee problem, even by working together with Myanmar, then we have to have a "Plan B".

Refugees are never a permanent solution to anything. And this is something they need to understand through their thick skulls, and respect us and the International Community.

Although, I fear the decisions taken by Dipu Moni may potentially send the wrong signal to Myanmar and the international Community.

I only hope for a peaceful and a feasible solution that is fair for both us and them. Not one in which people just brush it under the carpet. The Rohingya issue mustn't be treated as such.

Your former east Pakistan already tried that in 50s when your former Pakistan government gave shelter to Naga separatists and soon other followed but failure being your destiny.

Your whole argument just goes around hating the Hindu thats all. You make no other sense.

On the one hand you say and know that China is the strongest backer of the Junta in Myanmar, but then you want to create trouble in India with the backing of China to teach Myanmar and their backers a lesson!!!

You are just a hate filled Jamati who just has to somehow include India in all your mental masturbation.
