Myanmar ‘s government has begun to use a new system for recording Rohingya Muslims and to monitor their movements, similar to the system that the new American president, “Donald Trump” is seeking to use with Muslims in the United States, while the Myanmar army imposed genocidal blockade on dozens of villages in Maungdaw and Buthidaung to force citizens to record their data into Smart monitoring cards.

This new decision came in light of government’s refusal to allow the Rohingya citizens of national identity cards or NVCs, like other citizens who have Myanmar citizenship or even temporary identity cards to residents.

Rohingya citizens refused registration in the new system, which stipulates that the ethnic identity of the Rohingya as”Bengali” and not Myanmar, by which they may suffers the possibility of expulsion from the country legally at any time.

Rights activists said the government faced rejection from Rohingya for new registration system, which they retaliate by use of more violence, blockades, starvation and prompted the army to round up dozens of villages in Maungdaw and Buthidaung, to force villagers to register their data in the new system.
