Burma: Planned Religious And Racial Riots Against Muslims: A Historical Overview

Islam, mainly of the Sunni sect, is practiced by 4% of the population of Burma according to the government census. However, according to the US State Departments 2006 International religious freedom report official statistics underestimate the non-Buddhist population which could be as high as 30%, the country’s non-Buddhist populations were underestimated in the census.
Muslim leaders estimate that as much as 20% of the population may be Muslims. Muslims are spread across the country in small communities. The last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah II and his family members and some followers were exiled to Yangon, Myanmar. He died during his imprisonment in Yangon and was buried on 7.11.1862. After the British took over Burma all sub groups of Burmese-Muslims formed numerous organizations, active in social welfare and religious affairs. The Indian-descended Muslims live mainly in Rangoon. The Rohingya are a minority Muslim ethnic group in Northern Rakhine State, Western Burma.

Emergency Crisis of Arakan

The overall situation in Arakan/Rakhine state is still worse and there are tens of thousands of Rohingya with lack of food and shelter, particularly in isolated areas like in Rambre, Kyauktaw, Rathedaung township where muslims are very minority. The dead numbers from starvation and lack of medic are steadily rising day to day.

A few thousands of those live in the tents of refugee camps along Darbaine (Daebaine) village, Gwaladil (Taechaung) village, Shisha Fara and Thakkaybyin (Sakki fara) village, are also facing flood due to heavy raining season.

Systematic confinement without food, shelter and not allowing to find or manage food, is another crime related to slow extermination system of the government. The death toll of Rohingyan passed 10,000 from Sittwe township alone and more than 100,000 are homeless. Again, day to day a number of sick people including women and children are dying from starvation, lack of medical care and shelter.
We are seriously concern for the victims those lost lives and properties and those currently put in risks. We are very disappointed for UN is not yet dealing effectively. It has been one month now the communities from around the world are restlessly callings and already elucidated in many reports. The failures in Burmese affairs like in the past by UN and Western Developed Countries would escalate more death toll.
Therefore, UN must pave decisive measure and in place immediate intervention in ongoing crisis of Arakan. UN must not be deliberative with this matter.

Natala and security forces destroy Holly Qurans, religious books and vandalize religious school

Requesting for the UNSC urgent meeting regarding APERTHEID Master-Plan in Myanmar

If Myanmar Military and U Thein Sein’s government failed to stop the following APERTHEID Master-Plan on Muslims in Rakhine state, which is already started, the world leaders should request for the urgent UNSC meeting to discuss and rescue the oppressed people.
OIC member Muslim countries should WARN the Chinese and Russian governments not to use VETO in the coming urgent UNSC.
(NOTE: The Apartheid Rakhine party had also requested for the discussion with UN and other countries as stated in the last line, i.e. No 6 d.)
