The concerned authorities are organizing the Rohingya community to stay peacefully in Maungdaw with Rakhine, but the security force and Rakhines are attacking Rohingya villagers other side. How the security force and Rakhine attacked the Rohingyas villages without information of concerned authority, said an elder Maungdaw.

The Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed concern for the Rohingya people in Burma and said it will take up the Burmese government’s handling of unrest with the U.N. Security Council, at the 4th Extra-ordinary Summit on 14-15 August 2012 in Makkah Al-Mukaramah. H.E. Prof. Dr. Ihsanoglu - the OIC Secretary General- also made it very clear to the Burmese government that 1.5 billion Muslims of the world and the 57 nations of the OIC stood solidly behind the Rohingya Muslims.

Burma's human rights commission and Burmese President say there is no need for an investigation into the communal violence between Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya that broke out in June.

The United Nations released a report on August 16, saying the number of people displaced by the conflict in Rakhine state has exceeded 68,500, and is still rising, with new arrivals from Kyauktaw, Sittwe, and Maungdaw, where sporadic incidents of violence are still occurring.

“We should keep in our mind and hearts, as we approach Eid, the Burmese Muslims-Rohingya- who were not even allowed to pray in Ramadan, neither in Masjids, nor in their homes,” according to Burma Task Force USA facebook.

There is strong evidence the overwhelmingly Burmese Buddhist government is behind the campaign against the Rohingya, motivated by racism, said Dr Maung Zarni, a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics.
