Rape of Rohingya women by Myanmar’s armed forces is sweeping and methodical

[Che palle]

The soldiers arrived, as they often did, long after sunset.

It was June, and the newlyweds were asleep in their home, surrounded by fields of wheat they farmed in western Myanmar. Without any warning, seven soldiers burst into the house and charged into the bedroom.

The woman, a Rohingya Muslim who agreed to be identified by her first initial, F, knew enough to be terrified. She knew the military had been attacking Rohingya villages, as part of what the United Nations has called ethnic cleansing in the mostly Buddhist nation. She heard just days before that soldiers had killed her parents, and that her brother was missing.

This time, F says, the soldiers had come for her. The men bound her husband with rope. They ripped the scarf from her head and tied it around his mouth.

They yanked off her jewelry and tore off her clothes. They threw her to the floor. And then the first soldier began to rape her.

She struggled against him, but four men held her down and beat her with sticks. She stared in panic at her husband, who stared back helplessly. He finally wriggled the gag out of his mouth and screamed.

And then she watched as a soldier fire a bullet into the chest of the man she had married only one month before. Another soldier slit his throat.

It would be two months before she realized her misery was far from over. She was pregnant.

The rape of Rohingya women by Myanmar security forces has been sweeping and methodical, The Associated Press found in interviews with 29 women and girls who fled to neighbouring Bangladesh. These sexual assault survivors from several refugee camps were interviewed separately and extensively. They ranged in age from 13 to 35, came from a wide swath of villages in Myanmar’s Rakhine state and described assaults between October 2016 and mid-September.

Is this why 40k Rohingya refugees live in Hindu India, in her biggest cities and not rush to pure land of Pakistan?

They are not welcome in Pakistan

They are people of Bangla and India

There's around 350,000 Rohingyas in Pakistan, mainly in Karachi. There's even a Burmese colony neighbourhood.

But are they refugees? Just curious because there is a sizeable Rohingya community in Yunnan, China but they are all merchants with legal work visas.

Not entirely sure, but these people have been migrating there since the 60s I think. I would assume they have legal residency by now. I don't think Pakistan has taken any refugees from the recent 2017 exodus though.

How on earth are Rohingyas connected to Indians? They have no similarities with them whatsoever

What's the point of 1971 if we get stuck looking after Bengali and Indians?

Uhh that's not what I said? You claimed Rohingyas are "people of India" and I just pointed out they're not

"Indo-Bangla" race

Got no clue what that is, lol. And how's "Indian" a race? People on opposite ends of the subcontinent don't look even remotely alike

Two global development encouraged the savage assault on Rohingya people by burmese extremists. First was Donald Trump becoming US president who were then assumed to be anti-Muslim and has no concerns about human rights violation in foreign countries. Second was hindutva fascist and virulent Muslim hater Modi becoming PM of India. Burmese military thought, this is the golden chance to finish off the ''problem''.

The solution to Rohingya problem lies in annexing Arakan by Bangladesh. The Burmese will never treat Rohingyas fairly.

No. India and Myanmar are trade partners and does not have any close relation.

Myanmar is more closer to China, North Korea and Israel.
