Arakan Update News | M.S. Anwar and Nyi Nyi Aung

Thursday, 25th October 2012 Kyauk Taw, Arakan- Starting 5:30 AM this morning, Bengali Rakhine terrorists in Kyaukaw townships have been surrounding Rohingya villages such as Paik Saik Rua Thaik and Lat Song Kok villages. Besides, in the attacks against Rohingya villagers by Bengali Rakhine Terrorists and Burmese Military, three Rohingyas died and other three injured. The profiles of the killed Rohingyas are:

1) Abdu Min Son of SiaRu (38) years
2) Bilal Son of Bali (18) years 
3) Zalal Son of Jamal Uddin (25) years

Besides, six Rohingyas got injured in the village, Paik Saik Rua Thaik. The number of killed and injured Rohingyas will be many but due to communication problems, we can’t confirm the exact numbers.

Kyauk Phru, Arakan- Since yesterday early morning, Rakhine terrorists have burnt down one Rohingya quarter and a village called Zailla Fara @Paik Seik Rua out of total three Rohingya residentials in the town. Fire brigade fueled the fire caught Rohingya villages using patrol instead of putting off the fire. About 2000 Rohingyas and Kamans together escaped to the sea by 50 boats.

According to the latest news, fourteen boats loaded with escaping Kamans and Rohingyas docked at the Akyab (Sittwe) beach. But the navy is not allowing them to get on the shore without the permission of Naypyitaw. In another boat trying to sail off, all Rohingya and Kaman men were killed by the terrorists on the spot and their women were raped and gang-raped. The children in the boat were also killed. Meanwhile, there is no news of other 35 boats and might be still be floating at the sea.

More than 600 Rohingyas and Kamans trying to escape the mass killings by other 20 boats were killed in one scene took place earlier as their boats were torched using fire-rockets by the terrorists.

Pauktaw, Arakan- There were 100 Rohingyas, from Quarter No. 3, Pauktaw Township, trying to escape the slaughters and get into Akyab (Sittwe) using four engineless boats. A group of armed Rakhine terrorists stopped them on their ways and shifted all women and children to their boat and killed all Rohingya young and elderly men inhumanely in the river. Only a young boy escaped from the apartheid and is being examined by the military official in Quarter No. 4 of Pauktaw. Nothing has been known about Rohingya women and Children abducted by the terrorists.

Mre-Bun, Arakan- Out of the five Rohingya quarters with about 600 homes and 4500 population in Mre-Bun Township, four were burnt down by the Bengali Rakhine terrorists. Many Rohingyas and Kamans were killed.

As of today, around 3913 Rohingyas gathered and crowded in the remaining unburned village called No. 5- Taung Chay Quarter. Since thousands of Rakhine terrorists have been surrounding the village since yesterday and because of continual attacks against Rohingyas, 25 Rohingyas died and other 300 got injured. Out of the killed 25 Rohingyas, two were infants. They have no more food rations and they will die due to starvation if the situation continues.

It is very difficult to get information out of these regions because of the lack of good telecommunication structures.

Rathedaung, Arakan- About 6000 Rakhine extremists gathered in Rathedaung today. While they were about to attack Rohingyas, Military stopped them (Rakhines) saying “your number is not enough to kill Kulars especially if they combine with Kulars from Buthidaung. Gather more people and attack Kulars.” Therefore, the attack against Rohingyas can break out anytime in Rathedaung.

Maung Daw, Arakan- Authority is shifting all Rakhine women and children from their respective villages and gathering in the downtown with full security, while leaving Rakhine men behind. According to Rohingyas in Maung Daw, it is the preliminary step to carry out apartheid against them.

Besides, a joint force of military, police, Security Guards and NaSaKa etc is harassing and raping Rohingya women and girls passing by their camp nearby the Black Bridge located beyond Myoma Kayindan.

Till date, six Rohingya villages in Min-Bya Township and two in Pattharkilla (Mrauk-U) township were demolished by the Rakhine terrorists. About 4000 Rohingya houses and a dozen of religious sites were razed to the ground.
