DHAKA, Sept. 6 (NsNewsWire) — Since 11 August, with the massive employment

of army in northern Arakan/Rakhine State, the Myanmar authorities have resumed unprecedented campaign of genocide against Rohingya population, said a press release of Arakan Rohingya National Organizaiton received here Wednesday.

From 25 August the human rights situation of Rohingya became worse afteran

armed group calling itself Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) made desperate attacks on multiple police outposts and an army campin response to criminal atrocities and other inhuman acts against the civilians held in confinement in some villages of Rathedaung township in order to starve them to death. Rohingya villages were torched and destroyed; mass killings of civilians took place all over northern Arakan.

The brute forces are carrying out methodical assaults on Rohingya villages using machineguns, rocket launchers and helicopter gunships. Members of the Hindu comm unity werealso targeted

Security forces cordoned off the villages

, as the fire raining down, and then shot and stabbed civilians. The helpless

people were subject to indiscriminate attacks everywhere

– in houses, villages, escape routes, hiding places, mountain passes

,dales andrivers

An estimated 5,000 people, including children, women and old men, were killed and over 50

villages were wholly destroyed. Death toll is rising every day.

Independent verification of the figure is almost impossible as no independent international media, humanitarian NGOs and human rights actors are given access to northern Arakan.

There were instances that dead bodies were gathered, poured petrol over the bodies and burned down into ashes.

At least 200,000 new

arrivals have taken shelters in the bordering places of Cox’s Bazar and Bandarban districts of Bangladesh

carrying horrific accounts of massacre and ‘atrocity crimes’ at the hands of the Myanmar barbarous soldiers

and state sponsored Buddhist extremists. Majority

refugees are children (who include orphans), women, and old men.

They are largely traumatized and facing a great humanitarian disaster.

Many terrified and escaping villagers were trapped while

trekking towards Myanmar-Bangladesh border. About 100,000 people are

now stuck up inside Arakan throughout the border.

They are in great dange r. On the other hand, the Buddhist extremists belonging to 969 Nazi-like terror group and Rakhine terrorists of the Arakan Liberation Party/ALP (aceasefire group) are attacking those hiding and fleeing people. Everywhere the Rohingyas are unsafe.

Acts of mass atrocity and genocide against the defenceless Rohingya civilians can never be a purely internal matter ofMyanmar. The UN and international community have jurisdiction

over it and should intervene solely to save the millions

of lives and human security.

We, therefore, appeal to the UN, OIC,international community,

Asean,powerful countries and Myanmar’s neighbours

to intervene immediately in the matter to rescue and protect the helpless Rohingya people from genocide and to provide

them with humanitarian assistance both in Arakan and Bangladesh on humanitarian grounds.
