Atrocities on par with Adolf Hitler in Myanmar


Atrocities continue in Myanmar against the Rohingya. The government had accepted the Rohingya as a national race in the past. They were even  elected to the Parliament.  In the late 20th century, it was decided to change their status to illegal Bengali immigrants. They have been stripped of human rights. They can not work or fish to feed themselves or their families.  Myanmar soldiers conduct "clearance operations" against  the Rohingya by calling every Rohingya a terrorist. Torture and rape are common. The name "clearance operation" is another name for ethnic cleansing.  The countries leader,  Aung san Kyi Un denies it even though pictures and survivors exist.

The village of Tula Toli in Myanmar is a sight of horrific atrocities.  A helicopter landed next to the village.  Rakine Buddists and non-Rohingya people joined the soldiers. The people were told they were safe but their homes might be burned. They were asked to go to the beach for their safety.

On the beach an atrocity occurred. People were mowed down with by gunfire. The dead were chopped up and thrown into the river. Those that escaped reported on what happened.  See the fourth link for survivors account.  Gang raped till some of the young girls and women died from it.  Some survivors burned alive. One woman had her 1 year old daughter ripped from her arms and thrown alive into a bonfire of burning clothes. Other children were thrown alive into bonfires.

After Adolf Hitler, the world swore never again.  Genocide is happening again and world leaders look the other way. They choose to "talk it to death." I worry that the Rohingya will disappear as a people before world leaders decide to do something.  I can almost hear them saying a collective "Oh well" when the Rohingya vanish from the world

Genocide against Rohingya Muslims

Genocide against the Rohingya Muslims is  deliberate. Attempts are being made to remove from the earth by numerous cruel and barbaric methods people who are inconvenient. The Rohingya Muslims don't think or act like the larger population who is in control and that is what makes them inconvenient.

Those not killed by bullets, beatings, or burning are trying  to leave the area.  Putting landmines in various paths used for their escape is a planned attempt to kill. This can not be denied. Some landmines dug up are from Russia according to links below. Trapping people in their homes or buildings is just plain wrong. Burning them in their homes or buildings puts the people who started the fires in the same league as Hitler. Those beat to death just deliberately got in the way of bat's, rifle butts, and fists.

The leader of Myanmar Aung San Kyi Un  denies that the Rohingya are being hurt.  If they are, they are doing it to them self or causing it to happen. I wonder if she is talking a lot to Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov. Gays do not exist in his country. Special prisons and army units do not exist in his country. Families are just removing dishonor from their home.

It is sad that this is going on in such a beautiful country or any country.  Aung San Kyi Un is the leader of Myanmar and a Nobel Peace prize winner. It seems that she has forgotten the principle that won her the Nobel Peace prize. She has forgotten that the Rohinga are human and part of her country.

What she did has some consequences that she definitely does not want. The Taliban has declared a Jihad against her country. They are calling for fighters to go  and engage Myanmar by Jihad. Read the links below.
