Source Rohingya blogger,
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his group visited Arakan
state on 10th August 2012 to observe the vulnerable situation
resulted from the genocides against not only Rohingya Muslims but also other
Muslims in the state. Regardless of race or religion, they made donations not
only to Rohingya Muslims but also to Rakhine Buddhists.
He was accompanied to the refugee camps by Minister of Border Affairs,
Lieutenant General Thein Htay and his group and a translator provided by the
government. By the time Turkish FM and
his group got to a Rohingya refugee camp, a Rohingya victim broke into tears
and cried out “We Muslims have been severely oppressed here.” But the
translator provided the government distorted the words and interpreted to
Turkish FM as “We need assistances.” When the victims dishearteningly said
“Help us,” again he interpreted as “We would like to have your assistances.”
Why would the Rohingya victim waste once in a life-time chance uttering “we
need assistances” again and again? Once again, when the victim said “We all
Muslims are happy that you came here,” the interpretation was “We all are happy
that you came here.” The video of the incident can be watched on http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=awSYVns7y9I.
Therefore, regarding his deliberate distortions of a victim’s voice, the
following questions are on our minds and we would like to have the answers from
the concerned quarters.
1)
Why did he twist and omit the words of
the victim?
2)
What was the motive behind his lying to
Turkish Foreign Minister?
3)
Why was his interpretation censored?
4)
Who ordered him to hide the real and
vulnerable situation of Rohingyas from Turkish FM?
5)
Who is he afraid of?
6)
What kind of punishments should be
given to him for his to lying to a respected and honored guest of the Burmese
government and distortion of the victim voice?
7)
Can we trust such kind of government
who is claiming that they are helping Rohingyas?
By now, it has become obvious that this genocide against Rohingyas was
instigated and facilitated by the government for their political gains, in
collaboration with extremist Rakhine Buddhists such as the members of Rakhine
National Development Party (RNDP). To cover up the crimes against Rohingyas,
the state and other local media have been hiding the real situation on the
ground and deceiving the world by turning the situation upside down. The
government itself also has left no stone unturned to deceive all the foreign
visitors and observers in the region including UN Human Rights Special
Rapporteur on Myanmar, Mr. Tomas Ojea Quintana and this time Turkish FM.
Those who think that Burmese government and its media are sincere will
know what they actually are through this obvious distortion of this government
vetted translator. If they are really sincere, they should accept the proposals
of International Media and Humanitarian Aids. In fact, government and extremist
Rakhines have been systematically carrying out genocides and ethnic cleansing
by keeping the world in the dark by spreading lies through their media.
Therefore, we plead to UN, Human Rights Organizations and International
Communities:
1) To provide Rohingya victims critically required aids such as foods,
clean water, medical assistances and shelters resulting from the genocide
against them and the blockage of food rations by Rakhine extremists and the
Monks.
2) To pressure Burmese government to free all innocent Rohingyas arrested
by the authorities for wrong reason.
3) To send International Media,
Independent Observers, Reliable Investigations to Arakan.
4) To bring all those who are responsible for Rohingya genocides into
International Criminal Court of Justice (ICCJ) at Hague and prosecute them for
committing war crimes.
5) To help Rohingyas restore their lost citizenship in Burma.
6) To send International Peacekeeping Force to help to stabilize the
situation in Arakan.
It no longer needs to tell the world what Rohingyas are. They are one of
world’s most persecuted people according to United Nation. Now, they are on the
verge of extinction due to Burmese regime’s systematic atrocities. They have
become friendless in a predominantly Buddhist country. Most of Buddhist members
are brainwashed and taught hatred towards other people by different regimes
through Burmese history. Rohingyas could easily be targeted because they look
different from the mainstream mongoloid people of Burma. Rohingyas are time and
again made political scapegoats.
The world took oath to not let any genocides take place after the
holocaust of more than six million Jews at the hands of Nazi Germans during
WWII. It happened and is happening now. The Burmese regime and a section of
Burmese society who are heavily influenced by Nazi Ideology of Racial
Purification are committing holocaust against Rohingyas, while the world is
watching on. Therefore, we plead to not let Rohingyas face the same fate faced
by Jews during WWII. Please save Rohingyas and do a favor to humanity.
