On Wednesday, a member of the Rohingya community in Sudan accused the government of “ethnic cleansing” of the Muslim minority of “Rohingya” and “burning mosques” in the western province of Arakan.
Since August 25th, the Myanmar army and Buddhist militias have committed genocide against the Rohingya, killing nearly half a million Muslims, according to local activists and the United Nations.
“The world is content to witness the cause of the Rohingya Muslims, we are committed to killing and displacement, but we can not tolerate the display of women and girls in Arakan,” he said.
“We have discovered mass graves and charred bodies. Two weeks ago, we have seen more than 8,000 Rohingya flee by boat to Bangladesh.”
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International called on the UN Security Council on September 12th to press the government of Myanmar to stop ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya.
“The government of Myanmar has practiced a policy of displacement and long-term displacement to free the Arakan region from Muslims,” said Mohammed Safar, director-general of the Center for Minority Studies (established in 2013 in Khartoum).
“The Government of Myanmar practices racial discrimination and murder in the name of identity and religion.”
