The Bangladeshi authorities have been criticized for rejecting to allow hundreds of stateless Muslims to flee from ethnic hostility that has wrapped up western Burma for the last two weeks. This calamity is proving to be a challenge for Thein Sin, the president of Burma, who has assured to work towards consensus and national appeasement.
According to several reports, when the opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, left for a tour of the European nations, boats consisting up to 1,500 members of the Rohingya community had in the past few days been prohibited from entering the waters of neighboring Bangladesh, where a lot of people live in unauthorized camps.
No less than 21 people have been murdered and more in excess of 1,500 homes set on fire in recent days, claiming to be one of the most horrible ethnic violence in Burma’s Rakhine state.
Ethnic stress in that part of Burma has subsisted for decades and the Rohingya have been depicted as among the world’s most harassed communities. Despite the fact that this community prevails in Burma for centuries, they have just about any rights and are known to be habitually mistreated.
The state of affairs in Bangladesh is somewhat better. With the intention of not letting in more migrants, the government does whatever it takes to put them off.
Approximately 28,000 refugees are recorded within the government’s database and amid 200,000 to 500,000 live illegitimately getting no official support.
The set off for the recent violence appears to have been the rape and assassination of a Buddhist woman, Thidar Htwe, declared by three Muslim men on 28 May.
Within a week post the assassination, a huge crowd of about 300 people stopped a bus carrying Muslim pilgrims and banged ten of them to death. One of the women was raped.
Thein Sein has guaranteed to head Burma on a journey towards indisputable democracy. One of the concerns that still bother many onlookers is the unending disputes with ethnic communities, lately in Kachin state.
The aggression in Rakhine is another dilemma for the ostensibly civilian government.
