US Congressmen push to declare atrocities on Rohingyas 'genocide'


In this Reuters file photo taken on September 11, 2017, smoke is seen on the Myanmar border as Rohingya refugees walk on the shore after crossing the Bangladesh-Myanmar border by boat through the Bay of Bengal, in Shah Porir Dwip, Bangladesh.

Star Online Report

US Congressman Steve Chabot, Chairman Royce and Ranking Member Engel on Thursaday introduced a bipartisan measureto declare “the Burmese military’s atrocities against the Rohingya Muslim minority genocide.”

This is a straightforward resolution to put the US Congress on record. As Chairman Royce said earlier this week, “confronting genocide of the Rohyinga is a moral issue. And a national security issue.”

The evidence supporting such a declaration is overwhelming. Earlier this week, the US State Department released a report detailing stomach-turning, systematic and widespread acts of violence against the Rohingya in Northern Rakhine State.

And on Wednesday, the Foreign Affairs Committee convened a hearing examining the administration’s response to the crisis, and efforts by US-backed broadcasters to raise awareness about the atrocities.

More than 900,000 Rohingya, an ethnic and religious Muslim minority in Myanmar, live in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar district, the vast majority in camps, according to UNICEF.

About 700,000 of them arrived in the four months after deadly attacks by Rohingya insurgents on Myanmar security forces in August 2017, which were followed by military operations that the United Nations and rights groups said targeted civilians.

Myanmar has denied most of the allegations.

hmmm does he mean it or is it something else

Dear USA,

There is much bigger and older genocide taking place in Kashmir at the moment. We know you are mean and self-centred nation - but please hide your "truness" and speak about Kashmir as well. They too are humans. Real humans, just like Rohingyas.

 

[UKBengali]

Excellent.
Barman savages will be made to pay.
They obviously did not learn what happened to the Serb savages.
With the West and Muslim world baying for their blood, even China
will not be able to protect them

Dear USA,

Yes true but India has never launched a campaign of rape and murder to drive Kashmiris into Pakistan.

Dude, you aware that 10s of thousands of Rohingya out of only 1 million were killed last year by
Barman savages?

Still contemplating? Can't take it seriously.

Kashmir is a hype created and propagated by your generals and politicians. Do you want to say IA troops time to time act unless there are provocations by the PA-sponsored terrorists? But, the Burmese troops acted in mass to kill, maim and rape the innocent Rohingya Muslims without any cause. When the politicians make you guys weep for the Kashmiris, they allow your own poor to go hungry. Yet, you do not weep for them.

The USA and the entire world except a few Muslims countries know very well about the plight of the Rohingyas in BD refugee camps, and the USA/UN is trying to act. I wish they put an embargo around Burma so that even its co-conspirator China does not get the entry of its cargo via Burma. Crime against humanity must be punished.

Being a Bangladeshi, you may have a natural enmity towards Pakistan - but keeping that aside, are you actually trying to hide Indian crimes in Kashmir? Its not "either / or" limit for UN that it can only take up one case. If you find Rohingyas deserve attention, advocate for them without trying to cut Kashmiri's right of security, peace and liberation.

I think the wording was slightly incorrect.

What the poster meant is that you cannot compare what India is doing in Kashmir to what Myanmar has done to Rohingyas and has the few remaining in Myanmar in concentration camps. Let us look at the differences:

1. India accepts Kashmiris as citizens.

2. Indian army would not be deployed in Kashmir if Pakistan did not claim Kashmir and the people accepted Indian rule.

Now of course India has no right to be in Muslim Kashmir or commit crimes against Kashmiris but they are nowhere near as bad as the Barman savages.

Wao, am I speaking to another Bangladeshi or are you actually an Indian hiding behind a flag?. What a solution you have presented in point no. 2 that Kashmir will not be an issue if Pakistan gives up its territory and Kashmirs too would accept slavery. So can I suggest something similar for Bangladesh getting under a foreign occupation? Looks like you wouldn't have an objection if Bangladesh is taken over by Pakistan and Bangladesh as a state leaves its claim on its territory and its people too would stop resisting? And if this doesn't happen then problem would be in Bangladeshi Government and in citizens of Bangladesh?

India treats Kashmiris as unwanted citizens of a state it wants. India had imposed 124 days long curfew in Kashmir, did you ever hear anybody in the peace time would impose curfew on its own people? Which country in the world blinds its own citizens on a mass scale?

Sorry for giving your opinions no respect. Your points are so ridiculous that I could not tolerate this nonsense.

That's a good question.

Why is @UKBengali acting more Indian than an Indian?

Where were his heroes Donald Trump and Modi?

Dude.....

Did you bother reading my whole post before jumping to conclusions?

Last sentence of my post is as below:

"Now of course India has no right to be in Muslim Kashmir or commit crimes against Kashmiris but they are nowhere near as bad as the Barman savages."

Nice of @Chinese-Dragon to stir things up but China will be judged to the same standards as the US\West now. If he does not like it, tough!

Myanmar has already won, they pushed the Rohingya to Bangladesh and no one cared enough to do anything about it. Not Bangladesh, and not your beloved America or India either.

There were a lot of words and political point scoring... but zero action. Might as well have killed the Rohingya yourselves.

Just like the Serbs "won" back in the 1990s?

So, when is your new best friend Donald Trump going to approve military action against Myanmar?

I think saving Muslim refugees must be at the top of his to-do list.

Was military action required against Serbia to bring their butchers to trial and then imprisonment?

Barmans forgot that you cannot get away with genocide in 2017.
