Rohingya Muslims 'hated and hounded from Burmese soil'
22 November 2016 Last updated at 23:45 GMT

The United Nations has called for an investigation into alleged human rights abuses in Myanmar against ethnic Rohingya Muslims.

Recent fighting in Myanmar, also known as Burma, has led to hundreds of ethnic Rohingya Muslims fleeing to Bangladesh.

Jonah Fisher reports from Myanmar

When is Bangladesh going to take its unwanted people back?

What is Bangladesh waiting for? Foreign aid or intervention, as always?

Karma...

What BD Muslims did/doing to minority Hindus and Buddhists in BD is now repaid by Burma Buddhists.

There's not much Hindu-Muslim distinction among Bengalis in most of BD.
Bengalis, both Hindus and Muslims, form the BD elite.

Some remote incidents or 2-3 Muslim/Hindu bloggers getting killed in a country of 160 million is no big deal. Police are looking into those and culprits are being brought to justice.

Besides, Hindus don't face caste based discrimination in BD (unlike India).

There are no report of atrocities in Pak and Afghanistan too but why minorities run away and their numbers are gradually decreasing ..

Numbers are actually increasing, if you ever cared to look at the census.

But the % is decreasing, because Muslim fertility rate is higher.

 

[Matirpola]

Same as in Burma ,number of Muslims are actually increasing, if you ever cared to look at the census.

Not really. Rohingyas used to number 2.5 million before genocide began.

Now after hundreds of thousands killed or lost in the sea, less than 1 million left in Burma, more than 0.5 million in Bangladesh refugee camps and some refugees in other Muslim countries.

By the way the Burmese govt is encouraging its troops to torture and kill the Rohingyas there is only one way left for these natives of Arakan. That is an united platform to stage an armed conflict to carve out an independent Arakan state of their own. A bullet against a bullet fired by the military. A conflict like this may cause Islamic fanaticism there, but BD does not have to go against it if it is within the Arakan mainland between Burma and BD borders.

BD sucks royally at statecraft both in theory and in practice. Its why only topics and threads can be created about "sanctions" and "meetings" and "complaints".....and BD twits vent their hot air for about 100 replies....and the Burmese simply continue their policy with no blowback in the real world.

By focusing your efforts and time so much on the issue, it only exposes what BD is and how weak it is in the region.

Watch 2017 be another year of Rohingya (BD illegals) being pushed out of Burma....and your "best ally" China continue to arm the Burmese and expand cooperation economically with them. Pakistan selling Burma JF-17, India selling them weaponry.....Aung San Su Kyi coming to de facto power (removing any lingering sanctions from the West)...you really think your wet dream fantasies of an "independent" Arakan will come to fruit? It has the best chance if BD donates its own land to it, a resource BD has so much of

What will happen in reality is just more of the same. Burma shafting, BD receiving....everyone else watching (when they have nothing better to do lol)

so the entire premise of your argument is that since western powers, Pakistan and China have turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the bhudis it is fully justified ?

Nope nothing is truly justified.

Everything in geopolitics is different shades of hypocrisy.

BD expects everyone to share in their overpopulation burden...as soon as its upset and countered (quite brutally), they scream bloody murder, hoping someone will listen and intervene automatically....when they could simply cut a deal with Burma and recognize and take their people back (and get something in return at least)....and learn to stay in the confines of their delta the next time....or bring and use the military power to bear that such expansionism requires to sustain long term.

Instead they talk big, stay weak in reality and hope everyone else does something or the situation evolves by itself somehow to be magically more favourable. The world doesn't work that way. You have to negotiate directly or engage directly. You have to take a risk or two if you want something to change.

So that similarly India can push its 28% Muslim population of west Bengal on the same pretext that you are suggesting here. And then the Assam population of 35% Muslims. Not a bad idea for miserly Indians like you!!!

If they came illegally to India, they have no right to be here. That is up to our courts to prove when the time comes. With Burma its much easier, they physically look and talk different to the population.

Like you share your overpopulation burden with Sri Lanka and Nepal!
