Burma (or Myanmar) is a country with around 59 millions population situated at a geo-political strategic location between South-Asia and South-East Asia. Besides, it is sandwiched between two Economic giants, China and India. The state religion of the country is Buddhism, an out and out peaceful religion. The country has been isolated from the rest of the world for most of its history due to its heartless, ruthless, inhumane, tyrannical and sociopathic rulers. They have manipulated everyone and everything for political gains and to remain in power. In fact, they have ruled the country on the ground of terror, lie, racism and fascism. They have divided people and turned one against other. The lives Human beings have become so cheap for them that they can crash and kill anyone without having a second thought and the least sympathy. All have been in the lust of power and wealth.
The regime has made the people (i.e. general Burmese) so poor, uneducated, ignorant, racist and fascist that they don’t want or seem to learn any truth taught and take pride of being so. As a result, Burma has become a country with the long history of ethnic conflicts and their armed resistances. Due to Bama’s ultra-nationalism and behaving like a big-brother, ethnic minorities have lost their trust on them. To counter any possible inter-ethnic solidarity and unity, the regime always play the cards of race, ethnic origin, religion and culture. They will always try to divide ethnic minorities.
Like other number of bloody instances in the history of Burma, the Burmese regime has been committing mass-killings of and genocides against not only Rohingyas in Arakan state but also Kachins in Kachin state in large scale and in full swing. While the offensive war against Kachins breaking 17-year-old cease-fire with the Kachin Independence Army has the tendency of colonialism, Bama ultra-nationalism and the interest of capitalism, the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Rohingyas is inspired by delusional racism, anti-Islamism, neo-fascism and many others.
The military attack against Kachins is taking the shape of a war and less supported by general public of Burma, whereas one-sided genocidal attack against Rohingyas is fully supported and propagandized by the Thein Sein's regime, Bengali Rakhine Terrorist as well as most of general Burmese people. However, the fascist trained rapist military of Burma have been committing gross human rights violations not only against Rohingyas but also against Kachins.
Rohingyas, the sons of the soil of Arakan are the descendents of aboriginal proto-australoid people, Negritos and Indo-Aryans who later came to mix with other immigrating people in Arakan. Yet, Rohingyas had not been known to Burmese people until 2010. Rohingyas have been marginalized and ignored so much so that even the Myanmar Ethnocracy Leader and Bama Rights Activist Daw Suu Kyi has no clue of their history. When they came to know about Rohingyas, it was in the negative light. The regime has successfully branded Rohingyas as illegal invaders and harm to the sovereignty of the nation as well as to Buddhism just to gain political supports. All the allegations against Rohingyas are extremely unfounded and baseless. They are just hated in xenophobic, racist and fascist Burma on account of their ethnic origin and different religion and distinct culture.
According to many Burmese political analysts, the violence against Rohingyas is an attempt of the regime to divert the attention of the people from the year-long offensive genocidal war against Kachins, Myitsone damn crisis, to shut up Rakhines shouting in the name of Shwe gas, country-wide demonstrations by farmers for their lands and by people for electricity, inability to solve the poverty in the country, to defame Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (DASSK) nationally and internationally and to make the anti-regime foreign media untrustworthy among Burmese people. By targeting Rohingyas, the regime is gaining endless benefits. Besides, the violence might be a result of global power struggle between China and US and their proxy war.
Rakhine extremist terrorists and their leaders are happily or rather actively leading and participating with the regime in the mass-killings of Rohingyas. They have their own target: having an independent Arakan state. The way Rakhine terrorists are committing crimes against Rohingyas well identify themselves that they can be descendents of none other than the heartless and ruthless Sea-Pirates Maghs in the history of Arakan history. Meanwhile, the skinned head fascists and terrorists in saffron and Un-Buddhist monks (excluding few good monks) in Burma are openly encouraging the violence and calling for the extermination Rohingyas. Moreover, these terrorists in saffron are targeting all those people who are sympathetic towards Rohingyas.
Since the continual attacks and violence against Rohingyas started on 8th June 2012, the atrocities against and mass killings of them have been being carried out in large scale. Rohingyas’ homes are being burnt down and thousands of them have been displaced on their own land. Many thousands of them have been killed though Burmese officials grossly understated the number of their deaths. Their properties are looted on daily basis and their women and under-aged girls were or are either raped or gang-raped by Military and others. Their mosques and religious have been torched or locked down. Their educated people and other innocent people have been detained for nothing. Their access to foods and medicines are blocked. More than a thousand of innocent Rohingyas together Kamans escaping the renewed attacks are still floating on the Bay of Bengal. Their homes were burnt by the Rakhine terrorists and thousands were already killed. They were pushed out to the sea. Right now, they have no land to go on. Neither is Burma allowing them to go back to their own land nor is Bangladesh giving them refuge. Why is the world letting them die in such a way? Are not they human beings? As a result, they have been facing untimely demises caused by the Burmese animals in human form.
Where is the US with its “War on Terror” at a time a time when thousands of innocent people are being terrorized and killed right in their sights? Where are EU, ASEAN and NATO? Do their strategic decision makers really understand the definition of terrorism? If so, why are they neglecting terrors inflicting not only Rohingyas and Kamans but also Kachins in Burma? Why are they kissing the asses of the tyrants in the Burmese regime? Is money above the lives of human beings to them? Or they don’t need to care about the lives of those people who are different to them? If so, what is the difference between them and Nazi Fascists? If Talibans are extremists and terrorists among the adherents of Islam, then Thein Sein regime and Un-Buddhist Burmese Monks are extremists and terrorists among the adherents of Buddhism. If Al-Qaedas are terrorists amongst Muslims, then most of Rakhines are terrorists amongst Buddhists. Plus, Thein Sein’s Regime, Skin Heads in Saffron and most of Rakhines are Neo-Fascists, Pro-Nazis and sociopathic liars, too.
