United Nation and Arakan | Aung Aung Oo
Does United Nation have any power to maintain the World’s peace and security?
In this Modern World, our human journey become more and more complicated; balance of power has no meaning, we claim ourselves the best creature on Earth but some human are still lower than animals, human wrote thousands of law book to maintain justice but most of them failed to implement, we are proud of globalization, we broadcast human right, international value, and peaceful coexistence among the nations. During two World Wars, millions of human lost their lives, after the war, millions of people were killed in the name of nationalism, cold war, power struggles, and persecution of dictators. Justice, human right, and human value are found in the books in such a eloquence way that pleased human nature but in reality, we, human being, are still killing our human brothers in the name of religion, power, liberation, and national security.
We educate our children that United Nations was formed to maintain international peace and security, we teach at schools that there is international declaration of human rights, we are trying to make our Earth as a safest place for all living things. Our scholars have good intention for globalization but nobody knows when, how and based on which principle can we fulfill our plan. We gather together in such a huge organization, UN, in which many branches are doing their tasks sincerely but still we can not apply justice on Earth, why? Don’t we have enough judges, lawyers, and forces to implement our mission, peace and security for human being? We can’t solve a minor case in time, why? Does UN have power to handle? If UN doesn’t have power, how can we claim that it is formed to maintain World’s peace and security?
In the recent ethnic violence of Arakan State, the Buddhist Rakhine extremists in collaboration with army, Lon Htin, Nasaka, well equipped local Rakhine militia or police have been killing, many thousands of Rohingya, devastating numerous villages with mosques, burning down thousands of their homes, and looting immeasurable properties and valuables, while forcing scores of starving Rohingya men, women and children .
It has been well documented that, since 1942, about 1.5 million Rohingyas have fled their homeland of Arakan for various destinations for their lives. On the contrary, thousands of Buddhist Rakhines known as Maghs from Bangladesh have been regularly settled in Arakan under state programme particularly from Ne Win’s BSPP (Burma Socialist Party Programme) regime. Some of those Bangladeshi Maghs are in the helm of affairs of the state. Thus the alleged illegal immigration of Rohingyas from Bangladesh is unfounded, politically motivated and preoccupation of Islamophobia. It is a racist and xenophobic design of Rakhines to scapegoat the native Rohingyas enwrapping the infiltration of the
Bengali Rakhine Maghs into Arakan. Their ultimate objective is to create an independent ‘Rakhine Prey” or Rakhine Country in which the Rohingya remain a stumbling block.
According to several human rights groups thousands of unarmed Muslims may already have been killed in the apartheid state of Myanmar. Many Rohingya young men, picked up by the government forces, have simply disappeared, and are now feared death. Many victims – old and young, afraid of being ambushed and tortured to death by the racist Rakhine extremists. Dictators of Myanmar, and Rakhine racists do not care the Universal Declaration of Human Right.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon sent highest staff of UN, Mr. Tomás Ojea Quintana to investigate the case, after his return situation of Arakan State became worse, thousands of houses were burnt, and hundreds of Rohingyas were killed. Nobody knows what is going on in the Arakan State because there is no reliable media in the Arakan State. Local activists estimate nearly 20,000 Rohingyas were killed so far, and more than 140000 of Rohingyas became homeless, and starving without shelters. UNHCR, and other NGOs can hardly get information of Maungdaw, Buthidaung, Rathedaung, and Sittwe but no one knows what is going on in the other 14 townships of Arakan State, it is very difficult to get information for the communication barrier.
Rakhine racists and authority are trying to make almost all the townships as non Muslim places, in every second, Rohingyas are killing everywhere in the whole Arakan State. How many thousands of Rohingyas must give their lives to take action against this genocide? Do we need to be the second Rwanda? Why are international communities and UN waiting for more killing and burning of Rohingya? How long do the Rohingya people need to suffer? When will UN decide a clear cut solution? Does UN have power to solve the problem? Rohingyas’ persecution is not new, Rohingya have been under persecution since 1960s, thousands of files were composed regarding Rohingyas by UN, human right watch, and many organizations but still the case is unsolved, why? Is it concern with Rohingyas’ faith, Islam? For Myanmar Government and Rakhine racists , if Rohingya people believe in Buddhism like Marma, Sakmak, and Indian Hindu, they will deserve full right. Marma, Sakmak, and Indian Hindu are identical in terms of language, culture, complexion, and food.
I would like to request U.N, international community, OIC, EU, ASEAN, USA, UK , China, and Myanmar’s neighbours to do away with the policy of apartheid against the Rohingyas in Myanmar. I beg you to send independent news media to monitor the actual situation in Arakan. I humbly request you for necessary humanitarian assistance to the victims and displaced people as soon as possible before most of the Rohingyas die. I beg you to take immediate action against Rohingya genocide.

KNOW THAT THE ROHINGYA ARE AN ORIGINAL ETHNIC RACE OF MYANMAR:
The existence of the Rooinga (English form of Rohingya) people in Arakan (Rakhine) State was historically documented in a late 18th century report published by the British, Francis Buchanan-Hamilton. In his 1799 article “A Comparative Vocabulary of Some of the Languages Spoken in the Burma Empire,” Buchanan-Hamilton stated: "I shall now add three dialects, spoken in the Burma Empire, but evidently derived from the language of the Hindu nation. The first is that spoken by the Mohammedans, who have long settled in Arakan, and who call themselves Rooinga, or natives of Arakan." This is the unbiased historical evidence that the Rohingya or Rooinga had lived in Arakan (Rakhine) State before 1824, and therefore, they are one of the original races of the Union of Myanmar. Henceforth, it must be noted that the Rohingya ARE NOT Bangalis, who recently illegally penetrated Myanmar after its independence from the UK in 1948, and that the term Rohingya was NOT INVENTED by Bangali immigrants in 1950s. The term Rohingya was used in 1799 by the natives of Arakan, who were of Mohammedan (or Islamic) faith
