Some may differ. But I believe the government of Bangladesh is currently not seeing beyond Chinese Economic Inducements and some temporary political leverages in the region. It is important to consider all aspects especially when an action could endanger thousands of human lives and is bad for a country's long-term national interests.

Somebody, please deliver these points to the Bangladesh government and policy makers. 

Here how they are:

Bangladesh and Myanmar have made a bilateral agreement on Rohingya repatriation (which is due to begin soon). However, the survivors/refugees themselves, all alike, say "we prefer deaths over being forcibly sent back to Myanmar. We will at least get funerals here after deaths. Over there, the cruel Myanmar do not treat us like humans and commit all sort of atrocities." Some refugees have even said that they would commit suicide if foced to go back to the 'Killing Fields in Myanmar'.

The UN Human Rights Council have proven that Genocide on the Rohingya people is still going on in Myanmar. Under such condition, (possible) forced repatriation of Rohingya by the Bangladesh government and other parties (involved in the process) are violating the act of Non-refoulement and facilitating Myanmar's Genocide (on Rohingya). 

-

On Monday (Nov 12), Camp-in-Charge (CiC) of Balukhali camp 9 and 10 in Cox's Bazaar summoned all Mazhis (Captains or Focal Points) and Elders from the camps and threatened them to persuade 2,260 Survivors enlisted for repatriation scheduled on November 15. If failed, they were told, the Bangladesh authorities will cease Ration Supply to the refugees, bar the refugee youths from working in NGOs/INGOs, restrict their movements and stop local shopkeepers/vendors from selling foods and goods to them, implying that the survivors/refugees will be kept starved. 

'Go back or die here out of starvation in a confined place.' Just like that? What is so big a crime the survivors have committed by seeking refuge in the country that they deserve to be starved and confined (to death)?

-

Coming back to the point, the Myanmar government has explicitly shown its intention that the returning refugee will be confined in internment camps or a very small place of housing arrangement fenced with barbed wire.

There will be no freedom to move around for Rohingya. Genocide and atrocity crimes against them will continue silently. In turn, that will force the people to flee from the internment camps one by one and silently to Bangladesh. And these people will successfully be assimilating in Bangladesh societies, like it's been going on for decades. Everyone is aware of that. Bangladesh won't be able to stop that gradual migration by the Rohingya (because of Genocide) into the country.

Consequently, in Myanmar, the population of Rohingya decrease and increase in Bangladesh over the time. Who gains and who loses at the end? It's all clear.

-

Therefore, we request the government and people of Bangladesh to 'Make Hay While the Sun is Shining' and not miss this historical opportunity which will not only serve Bangladesh's long term national interest but also end Genocide and shape Rohingya's future. Please be an important part in ending the Genocide going on more than 40 years. Please help them get justice and International Protection to ensure Genocide (on them) never happens again.

Dear Bangladesh's Government, please see beyond Chinese economic inducements; and bilateral economic and trade ties with Myanmar. Please reconsider your position on the premature repatriation of the Rohingya which will further endanger them. The solidarity of World Citizens are with Rohingya. Thus, if you cooperate with Rohingya and the governments of many countries that are in Solidarity with Rohingya, you could find a way out of Chinese pressures as well, if there are any.

-

These people are not threats to Bangladesh but will really benefit the country provided the opportunities. They are not threats to Myanmar sovereignty, either. They are threat to none. Perhaps, their oppressor (Myanmar genocidal regime) perceives them to be threats because they are committing Genocide (on them), just like a burgalar percieves the (house) owner a threat.

All they want to dream and live like other human beings, like you, like them, like all. Please help them dream and live as equally as other human beings. Yes, they are human beings, too, and human lives are more precious than anything else.

NGOs destroy civil society, said a top sociologist at Columbia.

He is absolutely correct.

If Rohingyas do NOT hang together they will be hang separately.

I see the disaster or humanitarian colonialism being repeated in Rohingya situation. There is an immediate need to forge and expand intra-Rohingya solidarity and collaboration.

I define INGOs as neo-COLONIAL, that do not identify with Rohingya resistance to repatriation under duress, or have organic ties to Rohingya's struggles (meaning groups that impose their agendas & priorities).

Mine is not an original insight, but drawn from David Korten's: the only western or external NGO that is NOT colonial is the type that is connected with and support the oppressed's resistance and movements.

If I were a Rohingya refugee, or a member of the diaspora, I would work with any NGO that comes in with $, has political connections, and a voice.

However, I would NOT have any expectation or illusions that humanitarian INGOs (and politicians) will have pure moral desire or political will to respect, listen to or appreciate Rohingyas' wishes

and needs.

Generally, or typically, INGO-recipient relations will necessarily be INSTRUMENTALIST. That is, they come because it's their job, income generator, career, or professional or personal interests. There are of course NGO individuals who care, genuinely. But in the INGO politics it is organizational interests and logic that in the final instance drive what these entities officially say and do. Human rights INGOs are not immune from this cancer.

Rohingyas deal with them because there are no better choices - accept their money, medicine, work as fixers, field "researchers", informants or informers, whatever the case, etc.

That's the reality: the crucial thing is to know this instrumentalist nature - they use the refugees and refugees use them - of these interactions.

The last thing Rohingyas need is be swayed by these INGOs and their slanted, trendy advocacy campaigns - that never ask for what Rohingya really need, that is, protected homeland where they can live in peace and safety as normal human community, like everyone else.

To be able to maintain a healthier power equation between the INGOs and the refugees - nearly 1 million now - Rohingya refugees and the diaspora must forge ties that go beyond little family circles , or that cling to petty little organizations where they are "Chairmen" or "Chairwomen" "President" or whatever.

So far I have not seen Rohingya elites in diaspora building this absolutely necessary intra-Rohingya solidarity, respect and organizational collaboration.

The absence of this broad-based solidarity amongst the victims, both the diaspora and in sub-human camps, is deeply troubling, both from moral and strategic perspectives.

If Rohingyas do NOT hang together they will be hang separately.

I have seen this NGOs as disease in the context of the armed Karen revolution. The result is ugly: capable potential revolutionaries are snatched out of the movement and into program manager positions, from where they sing the NGO tunes.

With absolutely nothing - beyond the presence of 1 million bodies in the sub-human camps in Bangladesh - Rohingyas are far more vulnerable to this politics and exploitation by the NGOs and politicians than the Karens have ever been.

The Rohingyas are victims of a ‘slow-burning genocide’ that is perpetrated as a national project in Buddhist Myanmar (formerly Burma). Some 700,000 Rohingyas have been forced out of their ancestral homes in western Rakhine (formerly Arakan) state since September 2017 to seek refuge inside Cox’s Bazar of Bangladesh. Hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas have also been living as internally displaced persons (IDPs) inside the Apartheid Myanmar since 2012. The International Rescue Committee (Nov. 15, 2017) estimated that there were 75,000 victims of gender-based violence (meaning rape), and that 45% of the Rohingya women attending safe spaces in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh had reported such attacks. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has estimated that at least 6,700 Rohingya were killed in the first month of the crackdown alone. Credible estimates suggest that tens of thousands of Rohingyas may have been killed by Tatmadaw (Myanmar security forces that are more commonly known as the ‘rapist army’) and their civilian partners-in-crime within the mostly Rakhine Buddhist population. 

According to satellite imagery (March 2018), more than 360 Rohingya villages had been partially or completely destroyed by Buddhist forces since August, with at least 55 villages completely bulldozed, removing all traces of buildings, wells and vegetation. 

An international conference on “Rohingya Crisis and Solution” was convened on May 2, 2018 in Cologne, Germany. It was hosted by the Hasene IGMG (a not-for-profit organization of Turkish people working in Germany) and attended by some 500 participants from all over the globe and comprised representatives from the diplomatic corps, international organisations, human rights groups, academia, civil society, non-governmental organisations and media, as well as leaders of the Rohingya organisations. 

Muhammad Turhan, Mesud Gulbahar and Kemal Ergun from Hasene IGMG welcomed the attendees to Cologne, which is the fourth most populated city in Germany. The keynote speech for the morning session was delivered by Philip Ruddock, ex-MP (1973-2016) who had served as a cabinet minister during the Howard Government and then as the Attorney General. He highlighted the importance of holding the murderous Myanmar regime accountable for its genocidal crimes. The speakers and panelists included Professor Abid Bahar (from Montreal, Canada), Prof. Michael Charney (University of London, School of Oriental and African Studies), Jacob Sterken (from Canada) who is the co-founder of the Euro-Burma Office, and Nurul Islam, Chairman of ARNO (Arakan Rohingya National Organization). They discussed various aspects of history of Arakan showing the indigenous root of the Rohingya people there. 

Mr. Islam thanked Bangladesh government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for letting the fleeing Rohingya refugees to take shelter inside Bangladesh and for bringing their plight to the international community, including the UN. He and other speakers urged the Government of Bangladesh not to forcibly resettle the refugees inside Myanmar until and unless they are truly secured with equal rights as citizens of Myanmar. 

The keynote speaker for the second session was Tansri Dr. Syed Hamid Albar who had held multiple ministerial positions in Malaysia, including the foreign ministry. He discussed how the government of Myanmar had abused the openness shown by the ASEAN that did not want to interfere in internal affairs of a fellow block member. The speakers and panelists included (besides myself) Dr. Maung Zarni (from the UK) – a fellow human rights activist and Burmese dissident, Imam Dr. Abdul Malik Mujahid (Chairman, Burma Task Force, USA) and Mehmet Ozturk of Anadolu Agency. 

The theme of the second panel discussion was around genocidal crimes against the Rohingyas of Myanmar. We stated categorically that genocide is a process that goes through several stages; it does not happen by accident but is a deliberate act with warning signs. We also reiterated that Myanmar had committed four out of the five acts of genocide as spelled out by the 1948 Convention on the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide, while just one of those acts is sufficient to incriminate a group or state for such crimes. 

We urged the international community to punish the criminals – state and non-state actors – including those (e.g., fascist academics like Dr. Aye Chan and bigoted monks like Wirathu) who provoked (and continue to provoke) genocidal crimes against the Rohingya people. Dr. Mujahid shared the opposition routinely faced by Burma Task Force – an advocacy group for human rights in Burma - from the lobby groups representing India, Indonesia and the Jewelry merchant group in the U.S. State Department. He also shared information that the Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch – two of the major human rights groups - are opposed to any comprehensive sanction imposed on Myanmar, thus, making the task of changing the policy in Washington D.C. an arduous one, if not a zero-sum activity. 

We, the speakers, highlighted the fact that genocide against Rohingya has continued this long because of ignoring early warning signs since at least the early 1990s when some 270,000 Rohingyas were forced to take shelter inside Bangladesh when Pyi Thaya operation was launched by the Myanmar security forces. It was the second such massive operation in 14 years when Naga Min (King Dragon) operation in 1978-79 forced the exodus of nearly 300,000 Rohingyas to Bangladesh. Even the 2012 genocidal pogroms that led to internal displacement of nearly 150,000 Rohingyas were not taken seriously by the international community, including the next-door Bangladesh government, despite serious urging from human rights activists and genocide experts/scholars. 

The keynote speaker for the third session was Professor David Scheffer who is the Mayer Brown/Robert A. Helman Professor of Law, and Director, Center for International Human Rights at the Northwestern University, Chicago, USA. He joined via Skype and discussed issues surrounding genocidal and war crimes. The speakers and panelists included Dhaka University (Bangladesh) professors of International Relations: Drs. Chowdhury R. Abrar and Imtiaz Ahmed. The other speakers included Harn Yawnghwe who is the Executive Director of Euro-Burma Office (and son of Burma’s fist president – Sao Shwe Thaike) and Amir Ahmic, Liaison Officer at International Criminal Tribunal (Bosnia). 

The speakers shared their experiences in dealing with genocidal crimes perpetrated against the Rohingyas and Bosnians (in former Yugoslavia). They called for ‘Protected Return to Protected Homeland’ for the Rohingya people. They highlighted the importance of providing formal education to the Rohingya children in refugee camps. They also raised the issues surrounding raped victims, their pregnancy and children, and that more international funding is necessary to address such issues immediately. The speakers also discussed the ‘Suu Kyi’ factor and how democracy went backward rather than moving forward under her de-factor leadership in Myanmar. She is a complicit to the genocidal crimes perpetrated by her security forces. They also urged concerned global citizens, esp. lawyers and legal experts, to file cases implicating members of the Myanmar government and military for their genocidal crimes against the Rohingya people. They also urged all to boycott Made-in-Myanmar products to create pressure on the criminal government of Myanmar to change its course so that the Rohingyas are integrated as equal citizens with all their rights preserved inside their ancestral homeland of Arakan.

The last session of the day was chaired by Dr. Graham Thom who has worked as Amnesty International Australia’s Refugee Coordinator since May 2000. Regina Paulose, J.D., an attorney specializing on International Criminal Law and Razia Sultana, a Rohingya lawyer who grew up as a refugee inside Bangladesh, and is the founder of Rohingya Women Welfare, joined via Skype, sharing their views on international law as these pertain to Myanmar’s genocidal crimes against the Rohingya people, esp. females. 

Munira Subasic who had lost 22 family members in Srebrenica in July 1995 to Serbian genocidal criminals and was a primary eye-witness at The Hague International Court shared her insights about dealing with the pains of being a survivor to genocide, esp. the fact that while the Bosnian genocide stopped some two decades ago the Serbian criminals that killed his family members and raped so many women (and little girls) are still alive and continue to work and roam around unscathed within the Serbian territory of the new republic. She urged resoluteness in dealing with the Rohingya genocide and never to give up in demanding and to seeing justice carried out against the perpetrators of a genocide. 

Beini Ye who works as the Legal Officer of Open Society Justice Initiative in the UK shared her expertise in legal matters dealing with the Rohingya genocide. She said that the Myanmar’s rapist military have been using rape as a weapon of war to terrorize the Rohingya community permanently. The ‘rapist’ military has had used similar tactics in its war against ethnic rebels in the border territories. 

A lively questions and answers session followed each panel discussion. The conference ended with a note of solidarity with the Rohingya people and called upon the international community to stop the Rohingya genocide and to prosecute the criminals for perpetrating and/or inciting genocidal crimes against them. 

The speakers and attendees thanked Hasene International and its organizers for their generosity in hosting this much-needed international conference in Germany.

Northern Rakhine State, which is ancestral home of Rohingya need to be declared and turned into Homeland for Rohingya protected by international armed forces.

Arakan National Party (Rakhine racist party) openly opposes Rohingya presence South of Maung Daw. One Rakhine MP reiterated this opposition at the Myanmar Parliament this week.

The least Rohingya survivors deserve is all the area North of Maung Daw from where they have been expelled in the last 40 years in waves of genocidal terror.

South of Maung Daw needs to be made de-militarized zone where no Myanmar Tatmadaw troops would be allowed to cross.

Bangladesh the creation of which was made possible by the international community, particularly India and certain western governments such as Canada, will likely be in a position to foster cross-border trade between Rohingya Homeland and Bangladesh provinces of Cox Bazaar, Tef Naaf, and Chittagong.

Rohingya homeland will NOT be landlocked.

When Myanmar is prepared politically and psychologically to re-accept Rohingyas as an ethnic group with full and equal political citizenship then Rohingya Homeland may be reintegrated back into Myanmar.

Until then Rohingya community around the world and 'friends of Rohingya' must devote their energy to turning Protected Homeland into an interim solution - in fact, this is THE ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION - to end Myanmar Genocide.

The Burmese (Myanmar) quasi-civilian government unleashed a large-scale violence against the minority Rohingya in the western Myanmar state of Arakan in 2012. The violence, which some wrongly frame as ‘Communal’, was carried out by the Burmese armed forces along with Rakhine Buddhist extremist elements. The violence continued throughout the year and partially destroyed the localities of Rohingya community across the state, killing thousands and displacing more than 140,000. Many women were raped and gang-raped, untold atrocities were committed.

Consequently, the Burmese regime was internationally condemned for violence against Rohingya and international pressure increased on them to allow ‘International Investigation Teams’ to investigate into the crimes in Arakan. However, the Burmese government formed its own Investigation Commission with its own (bunch of racist) people to investigate into the crimes committed by its own armed forces. The first 'Rakhine Investigation Commission' was formed by Thein Sein, the ex-President of Myanmar and ex-military General, on 17th August 2012. 

As expected, the commission came out with a report shifting blames on the victims and everyone else except for the real culprits, the Burmese armed forces. The report was a total cover-up of the crimes committed by the armed forces.

Since then, the Burmese government has formed its own inquiry commission every time there was a demand to allow an ‘International Investigation Team’ as aftermath of a round of violence. The report that every Burmese inquiry commission came up with was expectedly white-washing of the crimes of the Genocide and the Crimes against Humanity. 

No improvements were made in any aspect of the lives of Rohingya. The displaced people in Akyab, Pauktaw and other parts of Arakan still remain displaced. Rather, the Burmese has severed many aspects of Rohingyas' lives and persecuted them even more.

Inaction by the United Nations and; and the US, EU and ASEAN etc, who prefer to have diplomatic and economic ties with Burma over ending Genocidal violence against Rohingya; has led some desperate young Rohingyas to take desperate measures against the State Armed Forces. A group of ill-trained and poorly armed Rohingya rebels, who later came to know as ARSA (Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army), launched attacks on security posts of the Burmese armed forces, especially the Border Guard Police (BGP), in Maungdaw district and Rathedaung Township twice, on October 9, 2016 and August 25, 2017 respectively. All hell broke loose for the Rohingya once again.

The Burmese armed forces used these attacks as perfect pretexts to collectively destroy the Rohingya community by carrying out arson attacks on the Rohingya homes and driving them out from their lands. Since October 9, 2016, approximately 10,000 Rohingya villagers were summarily executed and untold numbers of women were raped by the Burmese armed forces. More than 350 villages across Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Rathedaung were burnt down, that are now being bulldozed to eradicate the Rohingya history. The genocidal destruction of the people has forced almost 700,000 people to flee to Bangladesh, triggering one of the man-made humanitarian disasters in history.

So, since the violence began in June 2012, the Burmese regime has formed following Inquiry Commissions with their own men, and successfully managed to reject all the international calls to allow ‘International Investigation Teams’.
1) The Rakhine Investigation Commission (formed on 17th August 2012)
2) Duchiradan Investigation Commission (formed on 6th February 2014)
3) Investigation Commission on Rakhine (formed on 1st December 2016, after October 9, 2016 violence)
4) Committee for Implementation of the Recommendations on Rakhine State (formed on 9th October 2017)

None of these government’s investigation teams has found any member of armed force guilty despite a mountain of evidences of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity by the members of the armed forces.

In short, formation of 'Investigation Commissions' is a TIME-BUYING tactic by the Burmese government and a distraction from the unfolding Genocide. In this regard, the Burmese government now led by Aung San Suu Kyi has also formed following Commissions comprising some well-known international figures.
1) Kofi Annan's Advisory Commission on Rakhine State (formed on 24th August 2016)
2) Advisory Board for the “Committee for Implementation of the Recommendations on Rakhine State” (14th December 2017)

However, these commissions, too, have so far proven to be playing on behalf of the Burmese government and military to rebuild their image on the international stage and have become hindrances to making any real progress in the crisis or international calls to punish the Burmese military for committing Genocide and Crimes against Humanity. In fact, the Burmese Presidential Spokesperson Zaw Htay openly said 'Kofi Annan Commission is a Shield for the Government.

And this is the tactic used by the Burmese government to frustrate international community to eventually give up their calls for 'Independent Investigations' and to end Genocide. This is just one of many methods that military frequently uses to distract us from Genocide and Crimes against Humanity. There many more methods such as 'Victim-Blaming and Blaming Everyone Else for the Culprits' they use to downplay Genocide, which will be discussed later.

The cycle of violence against Rohingya has been going since 1951 and will continue until they are completely destroyed in Myanmar. For Army Chief Snr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, Rohingya is an 'Unfinished Business from WW2'. Now, it's up to the world communities if they collectively act to stop the Genocide or not.

[Note: 1) The Burmese armed forces mostly act upon the commands from the highest level of the Command Chain and so to say that the Burmese generals at the top must be held accountable for most of the atrocities committed by the armed forces on the ground.
2) Some words used in the article: Burma = Myanmar, Burmese = Bama (the majority Buddhist population in the country), Burmese armed forces = Burmese military, Hluntein (paramilitary), BGP (Border Guard Police) and Nasaka (the former Border Security Force)]

The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), which was first, established in 1967 and with the last entrant-nations: Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia in the year 1997 and then becoming a ‘TEN countries BLOCK’ is said the region of 550 million people who with different faiths and unusual values to dealing with regional and world community. 

Every country is with each policy to maintain its relations with esteemed country. None of those countries is well known among world community due to practicing the democracy and respecting the human rights of its own people rather the entire block (ASEAN) will end up to summarize the BULLIED declaration of respective chair-ship of the ASEAN tenure to favored nation’s cruelties against its minority. 

The parable is the last December 2017 declaration made by ASEAN Chair the Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte due to Rohingyas massacres & nightmares, which are well recorded via satellite imageries, hand phones videos shots by the Rohingyas runners and at last by the extraordinary efforts of two Reuter’s reporters, arrested by Myanmar authorities now. 

Daw Suu Kyi was advised by Duterte _ who is facing now the investigation by the international criminal court _ not to care the world’s criticism of Myanmar’s Military BRUTALITES on ordinary Rohingya targeted by the order of S. General Min Aung Hlaing whom the state Counsellor Daw Suu Kyi has been shielding from the world community’s harsh criticism. 

The ASEAN’s policy of non-interference in internal matter of one another nation is likened by Myanmar brutal regime after regime to stay within ASEAN community without much annoyance. 

Since 1990-2017, Myanmar has been the survival moments of succeeding regimes from the economic sanctions, imposed by the west. 

To exploit the least & endurance advantages via state to state economic institution particularly with Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and the dynamic die-hard & Buddhist-minded nations; Laos, Cambodian and Vietnam as the same last entrants to the ASEAN business CLUB. 

Myanmar carefully maintains through the dynamic relationships with the die-hard nations to be the allies to stand by the side of Myanmar in need of help in ASEAN and UN. 

Now, Myanmar thinks the giant People Republic of CHINA, the second most world populous INDIA and the third largest economic might JAPAN, culturally dominated South Korea, and the ASEAN nations are too much enough to survive in economy rather than to have good relationship with the west, USA and others which have been advocating due to Myanmar’s in time democratization, led by Daw Suu Kyi. Those nations have been crying out to protect the minorities and demanding the international investigations into the brutal massacres on Rohingyas, and scorch-earth policy campaigns against Kachin, Karin and Shan and other people across the nation.

Rohingyas Muslims have been clogged up in their localities in Rakhine state north and central since 1990. 

All their rights, which had been rendered before 1990 have been stripped off by the military regime that commenced since 1990. 

Rohingyas have never ever shown any of their collective opposite sentiments against the government’s harsh atrocities. They have been in great patience without complaint in both Rakhine brutal authorities and military. 

Having seen all these merciless dealings on innocent Rohingyas by the world community, the innocent Rohingyas’ suffering have been dubbed as “Rohingyas are the most persecuted people in the world” by the United Nations organization. 

The ARSA attacks on so-called police out-posts in October 2016 and August 2017 are “a load of bullshit dirty policy” of the ruling government and Senior General Min Aung Hlaing to get hold of “a lame excuse” to exterminate Rohingyas completely from their localities. 

Authorities’ confiscated so-called ARSA terrorists’ weapons, which have been shown through all kinds of media -- sticks, bamboo rods, knives, short-machetes, shovels, several kinds of nylon ropes, grubbing hoes, sledgehammers, crowbar-like tool for digging and sickles -- have been either the people’s belongings as the tools for their agricultural works in paddy fields or household materials. Then again, the Myanmar authorities have intentionally arranged to brag the world to be the ARSA terrorist weapons (plaything) to attack the police-posts. 

Are the sticks, bamboo rods, knives, short-machetes, shovels, several kinds of nylon ropes, and the sickles fighting weapons to attack the government forces? What a gruesome idea of the government!

Actually, if the ARSA were the real revolutionary and strategically terror fighters, they would have been fighting with guerilla-strategy by equipping with destructive arms and ammunitions to counter attack the government forces who are being outfitted with modern armaments. 

After creating excuse of ARSA terror attack and to hide behind the crook plan of the government, which has driven nearly 700,000 Rohingyas since October 2016-17, and up to now; more than 350 villages have already been torched; many more innocent people were massacred; many girls and women were being gang-raped; invaluable Rohingyas belongings were being destroyed, looted and herded away. Yet a few people still residing in localities to be driven out within a month is a total annihilation-master plan of the military and the current democratic regime of Myanmar. 

Due to the 2012 Rakhine state unilateral violence against Rohingyas in central Rakhine and KAMAN who are recognized as indigenous one in south by Rakhine Buddhists and military combination. Myanmar authorities have not been talking about locally displaced persons in squalid camps to resettle them to their original locations and the Rakhine criminals have not been arrested to punish publicly by both U Thein Sein and Daw Suu Kyi governments. Where are mass Rakhine Buddhist instigators and those criminals who involved in torching Rohingyas and KAMAN houses, shops, and looting the properties from houses and torn the Muslims houses and shops apart by the Rakhine hooligans? 

The current Daw Suu Kyi Led government has been trembling with anger whenever the world community’s repeatedly demands to investigate the heinous criminalities against Rohingyas, saying, “The military aggression or OPERATION CLEARANCE by military forces against Rohingyas is the internal affair which is supported openly by China and secretly some ASEAN’s Myanmar darling countries”.

Although there have been multiple talks and bilateral agreement between Myanmar and Bangladesh in regard swift repatriation of Rohingyas. In fact Myanmar government should make clear first the alleged massacres that have been strong evident; random merciless torching of villages all along the three townships; for gang-raped cases against the girls and women; guarantee of the rule of law in localities & citizenship settlement. 

While innocent Rohingyas who have fled from the aggressive operations of Myanmar regime in the heavy rainy season after abandoning all their belongings, to recall back them by Myanmar government again without firm commitment before the world community, this cannot be happened by the side of Rohingyas ever to believe Myanmar regime and be killed mercilessly again behind the bar. In that ground, Myanmar should grant firm pledge what all returnees want for “secure, safety and dignified,” return of them to their locations. 

Myanmar does not want the world-wide alleged accusations of genocide, be investigated, against Rohingyas in places; Tulatuli, Inn-Din (Andan), Gudar Pyin(Gudampara), Paung Daw Pyin(Fun-du-farang), and possibly many other places in Maung Daw, Buthidaung and Rathedaung townships. To where the world-unimpeded access demands have long been barred by Daw Suu Kyi, fearing the crimes committed by the government be plainly exposed to the world then come actions by the world.  

For pretension to the world, the strong barbed wire transit camps seems to be jails, which have been built for a transit camps before transferring returnees to the original villages, were occasionally happened to be shown to the world dignitaries of ASEAN & Myanmar darling nations for the acknowledgement of Myanmar’s attempts to accept Rohingyas returnees quickly. 

Myanmar Union Minister for International Cooperation U Kyaw Tin attended on the working dinner hosted by Foreign Minister of Singapore Dr. Vivian Valakrishnan on Monday (5.2.2018) and ASEAN foreign Ministers’ Retreat held on Tuesday (6.2.18) together with other ASEAN foreign Ministers. In that, Union Minister U KYAW TIN briefed the ASEAN foreign Ministers in an informal setting on the recent development in Rakhine State and Myanmar’s efforts in preparation for the return of the displaced people. In his briefing, he stressed: “the current humanitarian situation in Rakhine state was caused by brutal terrorist attacks against 30 police outposts, not by clashes between the two communities. The issue of Rakhine was not a religious one, but a political and economic issue involving illegal migration, rule of law, resources competition, and poverty. At a time when the Myanmar government has been exerting serious efforts to resolve the issue, the ARSA terrorist group has worsened the situation through provocative acts and disinformation campaign. And he emphasized the need for ASEAN darling brother nations to assist Myanmar in enhancing humanitarian assistance and in implementation of Dr.Kofi Anan commission’s recommendations in the needed areas and not to support actions that could inflame the already complex situation and further polarize the two communities.” 

Oh! Really, what a pity of Myanmar newly assigned savior Minister U Kyaw Tin for the government of Myanmar from genocidal criminality?

WELL, U Kyaw Tin may have rhetorically expressed to his ‘darling partners’ at the last ASEAN retreat in regards 30 police-outposts that may have been exactly kicked out by Myanmar’s cunning secret servants to censure on ARSA shoulder. Due to that, the world community’s continuous demand to explain more about ARSA, since then Myanmar has been shutting up but it has been finding additional faults on Rohingyas civilians in village wise.

However, U Kyaw Tin has failed to express that Myanmar military has burned 350 more villages of Rohingyas, killed many more people that are innocent, raped young Rohingyas girls and women, drove nearly 700,000 innocent People to neighboring Bangladesh. He shamelessly explained to his partners that the issue has been economic and illegal migration of Rohingyas into Rakhine state. He failed again to explain that there has not been a single illegal immigrant found who sneaked into Rakhine from Bangladesh in search of pasture escaping starvation in neighboring Bangladesh. All these cheating-fashion has been a foolish nature of Myanmar authorities to disgrace not only Bangladeshi but also Rohingyas. 

Now, simply do find the interlopers in the camps throughout the world cooperation in advance before being repatriated them into Rakhine, otherwise Rohingyas repatriates be afraid of being arrested & prosecuted under the illegal migration law of Myanmar after arriving into their locations. Such things have been happened before. If Myanmar authorities find any one of illegal as immigrant in check-balance process with cooperation of Bangladesh & world trusted body, before repatriation from Bangladesh, then neglect to accept the respective person and abandon them on shoulder of Bangladesh. It will be so clear THAN blatant cheating from time to time.

The dignitaries from all regions of the world would usually pay humanitarian & charming visits to the Rohingyas camps in Bangladesh in a manner of sympathetic attitude to fellow human beings. 

[As a matter of fact, the 2020 ASEAN superb goal to become entire ASEAN region as one family is so great ambition of the founding father of ASEAN leaders. Rohingyas are the legitimate citizens of Myanmar and so they are that of ASEAN’s too. Nevertheless, except Myanmar dignitaries who are responsible the overall social destructions of Rohingyas happened in Rakhine and her darling partner nations from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines, they have never paid any humanitarians and diplomatic visits to the ROHINGYAs, ASEAN citizens’ camps in Bangladesh. WHY? This underrated terrible mindset of some ASEAN nations’ immorality has been the appalling scenario among world community. What will those nations wrongdoing on ROHINGYAs innocent?] 

Though, all the relevant people of world communities had paid visits and will be paying officials visits to the camps due to how Rohingyas be repatriated in safety, dignity and voluntarily to their locations again. What the rules, and necessary steps to be done before repatriation that shouldn’t be ensuing exodus again because of next appearing brutal oppressions again by Myanmar authorities on repatriated Rohingyas in their locations. For that grounds Myanmar high-level officials have never been in touch with Rohingyas runners (who are in Bangladesh now) the sons of Myanmar and talking for them with the world authorities to be repatriated.

While MYANMAR International Cooperation Minister U Kyaw Tin was first time in Bangladesh in October 2007 to talk with FM of Bangladesh in regard Rohingyas’ repatriation, Bangladesh Foreign Minister’s invitation, to Kyaw Tin to pay visit to Rohingyas camps, was strongly denied by Mr. Kyaw Tin. Meaning, he does not have either sympathy on Rohingyas as human being of similar to other people of the world’s dignitaries or he has been in cruel mind of similar partners of those WHO have been crushing Rohingyas. 

WHY does not Myanmar government hear and cooperate with the world community or the United Nations Security Council as being the member of the world organization to settle honestly the longstanding unsolved issue rather than wasting much of the global valuable times? For which, Myanmar’s amoral ministers, right now Minister U Kyaw Tin, “under the term of witnessing repatriation readiness” accompanying many diplomats, ambassadors, UN staffers and so on to the localities where absconded Rohingyas to be back? All their attempts have been falsehoods of Daw Suu Kyi’s filthy diversion to be instilled into the minds of her foreign partners. 

Rohingyas displaced persons who are now in Bangladesh’s many scattered refugees’ camps and remaining Rohingyas who are yet in all around localities are “the people born of the same mother”. They have been all the time constant flow of information of the update military and Rakhine armed people’ aggressions and multiple atrocities against Rohingyas of Rakhine state by one way or another. Rohingyas, yet who adhere to reside in Rakhine state, have been facing the continuous accusations of regional military authorities as being ARSA terrorists and sympathizers. They have been arrested; tortured, squeeze money whatever they have, and then they are usually ordered to disappear from their villages; or face the similar situation of “Inn Din, Tulatuli, Godar Pyin, Paung Daw Pyin”, where mass Rohingyas males were being persecuted, and entire villages were being burned down. No military authorities and Rakhine officials are standing in their ethics to maintain law and orders but as they are the devils-money-grubbing against helpless Rohingyas after designing many unfound excuses. Villagers from the localities are leaving from their villages and no one can stop them from absconding from military’s genocidal constant cleansings.

Right now, Daw Suu Kyi is running two-way policy: (1) repatriation camps built by the money of local entrepreneurs or partner nations of the world for show off acceptance of displaced Rohingyas without creating favorable conditions which can be accepted by Rohingyas returnees and which agreeable to the world community. (2) The remaining Rohingyas have been cleansed through the military operation with understanding of military to vacant the north Rakhine to hand over to the partner-nation selectively to CHINA to do corridor for Geographic strategic plan. 

Due to durable and honest solution by Myanmar government to the issue, rather than unilateral construction of transit camps, which are believed to be graveyards again for Rohingyas returnees? And a fine escape of international constant pressure without confirmation of any firm agreement, firstly Daw Suu Kyi should have discussed and accepted world opinions how to settle the standing issue in a way of perfect that be acceptable for all RATHER hearing the destructive voices of Rakhine fanatic, morally wrong monks and wicked parliamentarians, and military authorities. 

After having understood of above-mentioned criminal nature of Myanmar regime led by Daw Suu Kyi and EVEN THOUGH many earlier dignitaries of the world bodies have had expresses: “textbook examples of ethnic cleansing; hallmarks of genocide and mass people killing; and nothing more than genocidal activities” against Rohingyas have been widely, clearly known to the world people. 

THEN what are THE world powerful authorities thinking about the slaughter of mass Rohingyas human beings and destructions of their houses and other properties in many forms by the government of Myanmar without taking swift actions?
