Some of their language may have some similar roots to Chittagonian, but you may know better, as I think I remember seeing a post where you said that you are from Chittagong.
Yep, I am Chittagongian
You'd be surprised as to just how different the language is from Bengali. The same goes for Sylheti.
And yes, they speak the language, but it is a different dialect.
Moving 730,000 people or lets say close to a million people is a major operation. If the killing continues then there would not be a choice. Threatening them with military intervention might also make them take notice and stop the killing for the time being.
I am not sure if that small number of people is enough to justify military intervention. Let's just see how things go...
Why do you think presence of UN and ASEAN observers would add fuel to the fire. If anything, I would think it would protect their lives.
What if they can't keep things under control? I think it may be better to get the Myanmar military to do the job, but have UN observers.
Also, don't count on ASEAN too much. It's a rather pathetic organization as far as security matters are concerned. It is at best an economic forum, at which it is pretty good.
By the way, both Malaysia and Australia are working on the issue:

Kudos to them. At least they are doing something unlike our pathetic government!
