    Rohingya Face Myanmar 'Ethnic Cleansing': UN Official

    UNHCR chief accuses country's troops of killing men and raping women, forcing stateless minority to flee to Bangladesh.

    11/25/2016

    Myanmar is carrying out "ethnic cleansing" of Rohingya Muslims, a United Nations official has said, as stories of gang rape, torture and murder emerge from among the thousands who have fled to Bangladesh.

    Up to 30,000 members of the ethnic community have abandoned their homes in Myanmar to escape the unfolding violence, the UN said, after troops poured into the narrow strip where they live earlier this month.

    John McKissick, head of the UN refugee agency UNHCR in the Bangladeshi border town of Cox's Bazar, told the BBC that troops were "killing men, shooting them, slaughtering children, raping women, burning and looting houses, forcing these people to cross the river" into Bangladesh.

    Bangladesh has resisted urgent international appeals to open its border to avert a humanitarian crisis, instead telling Myanmar it must do more to prevent the stateless Rohingya minority from entering.

    "It's very difficult for the Bangladeshi government to say the border is open because this would further encourage the government of Myanmar to continue the atrocities and push them out until they have achieved their ultimate goal of ethnic cleansing of the Muslim minority in Myanmar," McKissick said.

    A spokesman for Myanmar President Htin Kyaw criticised the comments.

    "I would like to question the professionalism and ethics which should be followed and respected by UN staff. He should speak based on concrete and true facts, he shouldn't make accusations," Zaw Htay told AFP news agency.

    Ethnic cleansing

    It is not the first time ethnic-cleansing claims have been made against Myanmar.

    In April 2013 Human Rights Watch said it was conducting a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya - an accusation rejected by Thein Sein, the then president, as a "smear campaign".

    The scale of human suffering was becoming clear on Thursday, as desperate people such as Mohammad Ayaz told how troops attacked his village and killed his pregnant wife.

    Cradling his two-year-old son, he said troops killed at least 300 men in the village market and gang-raped dozens of women before setting fire to around 300 homes, Muslim-owned shops and the mosque where he served as imam.

    "They shot dead my wife, Jannatun Naim. She was 25 and seven months pregnant. I took refuge at a canal with my two-year-old son, who was hit by a rifle butt," Ayaz said.

    Ayaz sold his watch and shoes to pay for the journey and has taken shelter at a camp for unregistered Rohingya refugees.

    Many of those seeking shelter say they walked for days and used rickety boats to cross into Bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of registered Rohingya refugees have been living for decades.

    The Rohingya are viewed as illegal immigrants by many in Buddhist-majority Myanmar who call them "Bengali", even though many have lived there for generations.

    Most live in the impoverished western Rakhine state, but are denied citizenship and smothered by restrictions on movement and work.

    Bangladesh said on Wednesday that it had summoned Myanmar's ambassador to express "deep concern".

    Since the latest violence flared up, Bangladesh border guards have intensified patrols and the coastguard has deployed extra ships.

    Officials say they have stopped around a thousand Rohingya Muslims at the border since Monday.
    Satellite images


    Human Rights Watch said this week it had identified, using satellite images, more than 1,000 homes in Rohingya villages that had been razed in northwestern Myanmar.

    Myanmar's military has denied burning villages and even blamed the Rohingya themselves.

    Rohingya community leaders said hundreds of families had taken shelter in camps in the border towns of Teknaf and Ukhia, many hiding for fear they would be sent back to Myanmar.

    Police on Wednesday detained 70 Rohingya, including women and children, who they say will be sent back across the border.

    You are right.

    It means that now the weak Muslims must find the solution. It is to please Allah by holding fast to the Holy Quraan and the Sunnah. Say lots of astaghfirullah and pray to Allah to send Help because the Muslim Authorities are mostly helping and cooperating with the kaafirs with the result that the Muslim civilians are left like orphans. Now I understand that the rulers are like fathers of every nation. The solution was the unity of all Muslim rulers for the sake of Allah, then do tawakkal (trust) on Allah and stand unitedly to defend the Muslims in the whole world. As we saw in the past that the kaafirs always stood unitedly to protect the kaafirs. Even Helicopters were used to provide food to those on the mountains. Now the kaafirs have put siege on hundreds of thousands of the suni Muslims to starve them to death without food and water. There is no Muslim chief to stand strongly for the sake of Allah and step forward to defend the Muslims.


    Please pray to Allah at the last third of the night to send Imaam Mahdi because Muslim civilians are now orphans. They need a Chief like Mahdi alaihi salaam. May Allah bring him very soon. aamen ya Allah, ya Mujeeb, Ya Qareebun-Mujeeb!!!

    I wonder if the election of Trump has anything to do with the renewed acts of persecution. Maybe the military thought that with Trump having won, they can do whatever they want without risking a re-imposition of the sanctions that Myanmar was under until very recently.

    No, as someone already mentioned, this has been going on for 5 years. What we are seeing is that the rise of the extremists in power across the world, leading down to an ugly path.

    Thauban reported that the messenger of Allah said: "It is near that the nations will call one another against you just as the eaters call one another to their dishes." Somebody asked: "Is this because we will be few in numbers that day?" He said: "Nay, but that day you shall be numerous, but you will be like the foam of the sea, and Allah will take the fear of you away from your enemies and will place weakness into your hearts." Somebody asked: "What is this weakness?" He said: "The love of the world and the dislike of death." (Abu Daud)

    The first of these narrations is that of Thawban - radhiallahu 'anhu - the freed slave of the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. He related that the Messenger of Allah said: "The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food." It was said: "Will it be because of our small number that day?" He said:
    "Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the river. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts." Someone said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is wahn?" He said: "Love of the world and the hatred for death."Sahih: Related by Abu Dawud (no. 4297), Ibn 'Asakirin in Tarikh Dimashq (2/97/8) and others. It was authenticated by Al-Albani in As-Sahihah (no. 958)
