RESOURCE CURSED ROHINGYA!

Countries with plenty of resources especially developing countries, are facing miseries in form of violation of human rights, lack of economical stability, illegal eviction of inhabitants from their houses, clashes of communities on the basis of ethnicity or religion etc.. More or less, ROHINGYA is also facing the same crisis, without any help/ support from any country.

Even China is not taking any positive step regarding miseries of Rohingyas. On the other hand Russia, also backing China’s interests, blocked a United Nation Security Council draft resolution on Rohingyas. Not only this, even in a closed-door meeting at Security Council last week, China even differing helpful engagement of United Nation in Myanmar.

One of the reasons behind this silence is project of “One Belt, One Road”, while through this project China securing military base in deep-sea port in Rakhine, to keep oil and gas pipelines running through Rakhine to China. Due to lack of transparency, project is facing agitation from residents and activists, therefore such miseries are favoring them by elimination of one ethnic group. On the other hand Buddhist community does not want to share upcoming economic benefits with Muslims.

Including copper mining project, overall China had an investment of US$ 18.5 Billion in Myanmar, and India had an investment of US$ 2 Billion as she is also constructing a road from Mizoram to Sittwe of Myanmar and planning more infrastructure projects in order to balance influence in Southeast Asia. Apart from these India also planning to deport 40,000 Rohingya refugees.

Pakistan also has strong ties with China with common interests in China Pakistan Economic Corridor, therefore uptill now Pakistan remained silent on inhuman activates and atrocities being committed in Rohingya, probably to save China’s interest in Rohingya.

Why most of the developing country, rich with resources, has no stable or democratic government, especially when her neighbors are strong in power with strong armed army? Apart from this, it has been observed that in such countries, state army or autocracy remained in power without any due representation of nation. Even if country is stable and afterwards she discovered some resources like oil, gas or minerals, even then she is under grave threat of intrusion, either inside i.e. rebels, army etc. or outside from lusty and forceful neighbors.

Abundance in resources, which presumed to be blessings for a country, became a misery and threat towards residents of Rakhine State. 

ROHINGYAS under genocidal attack by Buddha’s Islam-phobic followers

Following killings of innocent and unarmed women and children, Myanmar government pictured it “an effort to eliminate terrorism”. Deceitfully, Aung San Suu Kyi alleging that international media is spreading false news regarding violence and current situation in Rohingyas and on the other hand she is not giving access towards persecuted civilians of Rohingyas. Her statements and attitude, clearly depicts that she is not only ethnically obsessed, but also anti-Muslim, as she remained notoriously famous for anti-Muslim statement in 2013, when BBC Today Anchor, Mishal Hussain interviewed her and asked her whether she had any idea of hardship faced by Muslims. Answering the question, she not only behaved violently but also after interview she disrespectfully said “No one told me that I was to be interviewed by a Muslim”.

In another statement Suu Kyi depicted that Ethnic group are burning their own homes to ground just to make situation worse and blaming government. Surprisingly, no one asked, this Nobel Laureate, why the people who already living hand to mouth, would burn their houses, just to blame tyrant government. UNHCR had evidence and recorded clips regarding killings of Muslim families and footages in which Junta as well as Official Police alongwith Buddhist monks burning homes of Muslim minority. 

Suu Kyi should realize that such state sponsored ethnic cleansing, is not only threat to Muslims of Myanmar but also towards Buddhist minority (in Islamic States) who are peacefully living around the world in more than 170 countries constituting 8% to 9% of world population. Recently on 7^th September, 2017 she made a statement that Rohingya issue is similar to that of Kashmir issue, adamantly portraying massacre as one of the political issues. She just dared to, because of such politicians who diplomatically not interested to resolve such issues.

I am so much confused that, why neighboring & other Muslim states (particularly Arab Countries i.e. So-called leaders of Muslim World) are not raising their voices against this bloodbath. One of the disappointing factor is that, despite of Israel arms provision to Junta, Myanmar Armed Forces, King Salman of Saudi Arabia in March 2015, provide eighty million dollars to support Benjamin Netanyahu’s Election Campaign, which shows that Muslim States are, one way or the other, are involved in this ethnic atrocity.

Muslims of Rohingya are being killed on petty issues since 1942 when Thakin leaders murdered Muslim men, women and children and looted their houses, and situation is worse now. State Constitution of Myanmar, 2008, declined the nationality of Rohingya and declared them illegal immigrants, which further provoked Buddhist to riot against Muslims. There are no rights for them instead they are living worse than any living creature on earth. Not only this, following Aung San Suu Kyi’s statement in 2013 against Muslim Anchor in a Talk Show, situation become worst and since then much more Muslims had been slay by Buddhist Monks under the leadership of Buddhist monk, Ashin Wirathu, and Ma Ba Tha (Organization for protection of Race & Religion), vicious and ruthless Organization led by radical and fundamentalist monks. Currently, Rohingya burning under direct leadership of Ashin Wirathu and Ma Ba Tha with the help Myanmar government.

In 1991, when these illegal immigrants were granted white cards to vote with some rights, these radical and extremist monks harshly protested and resultantly these white cards were rescinded, so they could not participate in General Elections of 2015. These fundamentalist monks are Islam-phobic and frightened with any Muslim representation in Myanmar’s Parliament.

Apathy and cold bloodedness is not limited to Myanmar Govt. but also extended towards neighboring Muslim country i.e. Bangladesh, whose Prime Minister Hasine Wajid stated that this is internal affair of Myanmar Govt. and she could not help those Muslims due to lack of resources and pushing Myanmar Govt. to take back refugees.

Not only Myanmar, but every country particularly Muslim countries are responsible for this annihilation and ethnic cleansing, by keeping silence.
