Urgent Intervention Requires in Arakan

the government’s involvement and contributions into the crisis are very clear based on:
1) Imposing Curfew and Order on only Rohingya while Rakhine people are freely allowed to carry out various attacks, looting goods and casheven harden woods and pillars and torching fires.
2) Allowing security forces to shot the Rohingyas, not arresting a single armed Rakhine.
3) Seizing lands of Rohingyas which were burnt down and disposing them into concentration camps.
4) Blocking aid and foods, attacking aid workers then compelling to die from starvation.
5) Denying their rights to have rights such as medicare, education, relocation, movement.
6) President Thein Sein asking the United Nation to relocate Rohingya in a third country.
7) Fabricating false news: the local Burmese news groups and anti-Rohingya bloggers are able to report the way they like and play a major role of bias through inciting anti-Rohingya propagandas and portraying the Rohingyas as they want and provide reverse information.
8) Forcing to accept foreigner identity in the mid of humanitarian crisis.

From 8 of June 2012, total destructionacross 11 different townships of Arakan,reached at 97 mosques, about 23,000 houses. Death toll over 12,000 and nearly 200,000 people displaced and number of arbitrary detention reached at least 12,00 Rohingyas and Kaman muslims mainly from Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Sittwe townships. Many religious building and brick made homes of Rohingya were just half destructed from the attacks of Rakhines but government sent bulldozer team from Yangon to cleans all remnant building belong to Rohingya.
