Maung Daw, Arakan - Today, around 12:00 Noon (Myanmar Standard Time), a few military together with some Rakhine terrorists shot a poor Rohingya farmer to dead in the village of Baggona, Southern Maung Daw. The Rakhine terrorists are from nearby Kanthayar Village and military are from the camp based in the same village. The camp is under the commandment of Major Ye Win Aung from KayeMyaing Military Camp, Southern Maung Daw. 

“Rafique S/o Abdul Majid (25), a poor Rohingya farmer, was looking after his cattle by his village. Meanwhile, around four military and four Rakhine terrorists from Kanthayar came up and attempted to rob and take way his cattle. As he started to hurry to escape the robbery together with his cattle, the military shot at him and four bullets hit his body. 

The above-mentioned four Rakhine terrorists are Pho Thar Htwe, Maung Maung, Mido and Saw Maung. The former three are from Kanthayar and the latter, Saw Maung is from KayeMyaing. The whole Kanthayar was set up with the Bangladeshi Rakhines in 1970s with the help of Gen. Ne Win. 

Coincidentally, today, NaSaKa (border security force) is carrying out the census operation in the village, an operation that NaSaKa have been carrying for the past two decades and twice a year (but there is no digital finger print being taken in the operation). So, the villager informed NaSaKa and NaSaKa Captain Myo Htaik Aung from Maggyi Chaung Camp under the NaSaKa area No. 7 went to the place where the crime took place. 

There was a minor confrontation between NaSaKa and Military as NaSaKa didn’t allow the military to hide the body of the bullet hit Rohingya. His ailing body bit by four bullets was sent to Maung Daw hospital. There in hospital, according to the accompanied people, he died immediately after Rakhine doctors give injection to him. They suspect the doctors for killing the Rohingya. His body was returned after the post-mortem” said a Rohingya Elder from a nearby village.

Now, Arakan has become a silent killing field where a slow yet an effective genocide of Rohingyas and Kamans are being carried out. Burmese regime and Rakhine extremists will keep lying and denying that. Only the presence of Multi-National Peace-Keeping Force or UN Peace Force in Arakan can stop the genocide. It is high time for Rohinya Leaders to be more realistic to be able to see what measures are to be taken to effectively stop the pogroms. It is high time for them to stop living in their fantasy worlds.
