Bangladesh to Build Huge Refugee Camp for Rohingya

Bangladesh on Saturday announced plans to build a huge refugee camp for the 400,000 Rohingya Muslims who’ve fled violence in Myanmar over the past few weeks. Authorities say they will devote 2,000 acres of land along the border to 14,000 shelters, each able to accommodate six families. The settlements will be built within the next 10 days with help from international aid groups and the Bangladeshi military. Police said the Rohingya refugees will not be allowed to move freely outside of the camp, and they will be banned from traveling by vehicle. Since Myanmar security forces began a brutal crackdown on the minority community late last month, Rohingya refugees pouring into Bangladesh have wound up living on the streets, while other groups were left trapped in the mountains along the border with no food. The United Nations and other international rights groups have warned that Myanmar forces are carrying out ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya, while Myanmar has insisted it is only fighting back against terrorists.

Dem Rohinga dem are clients of Israel and America, trying to disrupt and destabilize the Chinese B&R Initiative in Myanamar using the minority Rohinga

deh went in there and fomented all this trouble like they did in Libya and Syria.  the Rohinga are a minority and they are paying a high price for their stupidity

this is a perfect CIA/Mossad operation.

Incentive:  the disruption of China Belt and Road Initiative that is supplanting the Jew west in the world.  B&RI is deriving development in the developing world which is a Black and Brown world right out of Jewmerican  control and plunder. 

with Chinese money the developing no longer need the World Bank, the IMP, american and all its racist and plundering works.  China is taking american money, the same money they plundered from the Black and Brown  world and giving it right back in development projects for the long term well being of the Black and Brown world

fighting back Jewmerica must disrupt B&RI.  to that effect they created BJP in India/and BJP ideology... and chose Modi like they chose Obama in the USA, to kerry it out..to go out and disrupt China.  so immediately Modi takes over he establishes Indian hostility to China

to this effect also we have this Myanmar imbroglio here which disrupts a key pathway for the B&RI

Myanmar is a perfect example..a long standing deep seated ethnic issue involving a majority/minority situation. the minority under manners in the country are easy to manipulate.  look all over the world from tfor s long time now and se Jewmerica doing the same thing..using minorities to destabilize majorities

they do the same thing in america itself in bg ways.  currently they are using the homosexuals to destabilize all of america,...and the world if the world take the gay program seriously and legalize gay marriage etc

with the powerful support of an outside force the minority can dream of equalizing the situation or actually taking it over or cutting out a space in the country for themselves.

Quote:Rohingya is not a (mere) Muslim issue
The Trump administration is shifting gear on Myanmar. After positioning itself on the “right side of history”, Washington is making the first signs of inserting itself into the Rohingya issue. It is an extraordinary feat by the Trump administration, which has been branded as a bunch of Islamophobes by the world opinion, to take the heights as the champion of a Muslim cause.

On Friday, the White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement that the US is “deeply troubled” by the crisis in the Rakhine state of Myanmar . “We reiterate our condemnation of those attacks (on security forces) and ensuing violence.” The statement urged the Myanmarese government to allow media access to afflicted areas as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in London on Thursday that Myanmar is facing a “defining moment” and must stop the violence against its ethnic minority Rohingya population. Tillerson said he understood that Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel prize laureate and de facto head of the government in Myanmar, was in a power-sharing agreement with the military and she found herself in a “complex situation”. “I think it is important that the global community speak out in support of what we all know the expectation is for the treatment of people regardless of their ethnicity,” he added. “This violence must stop, this persecution must stop.”

Of course, it is a nuanced stance, aimed at securing a toe hold in the developing situation in the first instance. But Myanmar government is quite familiar with the US pressure tactic. A senior state department official deputed from Washington, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Patrick Murphy will not be given permission to visit the affected region of Maungdaw district in Rakhine state, but could meet government officials in Naypyitaw, and attend an address to the nation which is expected to be delivered by by Aung San Suu Kyi on Tuesday.

While highly sensational reports continue to appear in the British media regarding developments in Myanmar, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson gave a balanced account based on information from own sources. Excerpts follow:

Tensions have subsided to a certain extent. Since September 7, no major armed clashes have been recorded between the Government troops and the militants of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army… At present Myanmar’s military transport planes are delivering food, medicines and other humanitarian relief to the Rakhine State. Mobile medical posts are receiving local people; destroyed infrastructure facilities are being restored. Another trip to the north of the Rakhine State has been organised for local and foreign media accredited in the country…

Myanmar established a committee headed by Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Win Myat Aye, which includes representatives of law enforcement and economic departments (to implement the recommendations of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State headed by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.) They will be assisted by relevant local and foreign experts… We (Moscow) note that the Myanmar authorities are helping internally displaced persons to return to the places of their permanent residence. (According to the available information, about 2,000 have already come back home.)… In this context, we paid attention to the collective statement by the leading organisations representing Myanmar’s multi-ethnic Muslim community. They denounced the armed actions of radicals in the Rakhine State and urged their brethren-in-faith not to yield to extremist provocations.

Quote:Spokesperson Maria Zakharova framed the Russian position on these lines:

We continue watching the developments in Myanmar’s Rakhine State… On September 13, the UN Security Council members, including Russia, expressed serious concern over the situation in the region. They urged immediate measures to put an end to violence, reduce tensions, restore law and order, guarantee protection of civilians, reestablish normal socio-economic conditions and resolve the refugee problem in the Rakhine State.

We welcome the measures taken by the Myanmar Government to implement the recommendations of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State headed by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. .. We support the efforts to develop inter-religious dialogue with the participation of the spiritual leaders of all religions in Myanmar. It is important to understand that an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of a sovereign state may only further exacerbate religious strife. I would like to emphasise again that we support the efforts to promote in Myanmar inter-religious dialogue involving the spiritual leaders of all religions.

Conceivably, the above Russian stance would more or less reflect the thinking in Delhi as well. Quite obviously, the situation in Myanmar cannot be viewed simplistically or through the prism of humanitarian considerations alone. The religious and ethnic conflicts have deep roots in Myanmar’s history and geography, compounded by the forces of globalization and modernization that the country, a traditionally religious country, has had to pass through in a compressed capsule of time.

The Western and Islamic world considers what is happening in Myanmar as ‘ethnic cleansing’ against the Rohingya. But when large-scale ethnic conflicts erupt in developing countries, they have a way of spiralling out of control and leading to horrific violence against ethnic minorities, triggering massive internal displacement or flow of refugees fleeing from the violence. Almost all countries in the region have experienced this at one time or another.

Equally, Suu Kyi’s reticence in condemning the ‘genocide’ or ‘ethnic cleansing’ needs to be understood in the context of the power calculus in Myanmar where she is under compulsion to balance several countervailing factors – mainstream public opinion imbued with Burman nationalism, a fledgling democracy barely coping with its socio-economic agenda and electoral mandate, a vulnerable legal system, a highly fragmented political landscape with over 130 ethnic groups clamouring for autonomy, and, above all, an overbearing military that refuses to return to the barracks and give way to representative rule.

To my mind, Suu Kyi’s heart is in the right place alright. Her address to the nation on Tuesday will testify to her deft navigation of the leadership toward a pathway leading ultimately to the assimilation of the Annan recommendations.

Don’t Give Up On Her.
