| 2017-10-23 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Rohingya Moslems who return to Myanmar after fleeing to Bangladesh are unlikely to be able to reclaim their land, and may find their crops have been harvested and sold by the government, according to officials and plans seen by Rooters. Howzzat jihad thingy workin' out for ya? Nearly 600,000 Rohingya have crossed the border since Aug. 25, when coordinated Rohingya krazed killer attacks on security posts sparked a ferocious counteroffensive by the Myanmar army. The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... says killings, arson and rape carried out by troops and ethnic Rakhine Buddhist mobs since late August amount to a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya. Civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has no control over the military, has pledged that anyone sheltering in Bangladesh who can prove they were Myanmar residents can return. |
