SILENCE IN THE FACE OF GENOCIDE IS NOT AN OPTION!
Although the United Nations has designated the Rohingya as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, this community continues to be subjected to a systematic genocide in Myanmar by the authorities in Burma because of their affiliation to the Muslim religion.
Hundreds of them have spent recent months drowning in the ocean to try to escape from massacres, acts of abuse, rape, burning and slaughtering of identity.
The world that watches these horrific massacres that have not excluded children has not stirred up the pressure on the fascist authorities in Burma.
The Rohingyas are located in the Arakan region west of Burma, Myanmar on the Indian Ocean. The word Rohinga refers to Ruhang, the name of the ancient state of Arakan. Rohingya is spoken to the indigenous citizens of Arakan, occupied by Myanmar. A free, independent Islamic society in Southeast Asia that continued to exist for several centuries before it occupied Burma, ruled by a Buddhist majority in 1784, and later became one of the 14 provinces and provinces of the Union of Burma, currently Myanmar.
Geographically, Arakan is located in the southwest of Myanmar on the coast of the Bay of Bengal and the border with Bangladesh. The territory is about 50,000 square kilometers, or about 10 percent of Myanmar.
The population of the Arakan region is about 5.5 million, the proportion of Muslims is 90%, of which 2 million live in Myanmar, while the others have emigrated because of the persecution practiced by the state against them.
Myanmar's Muslims come from different origins such as Bengali, Arabs, Moro, Turks, Persians, Mongols and Albanians, most of whom resemble the people of the Indian continent in form and color.
Since the fall of the Arakan State, several massacres have been committed against them, amounting to more than twenty large massacres, the largest of which was the massacre of more than 100,000 Muslim Rohingyas in 1942, Forcing the Muslims to flee from the Burmese oppression.
Since then, the Buddhist majority has not stopped killing Muslims in Arqan, which was originally an Islamic kingdom. They have carried out many acts of "genocide" and "genocide" against the Muslim population.
Two years ago, the President of Burma approved a law limiting births within Muslim families, in parallel with the displacement of Muslims in Myanmar and the systematic settlement of Buddhist families by the authorities.
"Definitely Rohingays are human beings and they should never be denied of the basic human rights. The matter should be looked into with a humanistic approach rather than as a narrow political or national problem. Like many others I also strongly opine that violation of human rights is unfair and unacceptable in a civilised world".
