Dear Mr.Ban Ki-Moon , Please we need your demands to pressure on the Myanmar's Gov and President Thein Sein to stop immediately, arresting , killing , raping , harassing and must provide 100% security in order to withdraw all of restriction movements from village to village , city to city and very very important their basic daily survival life at this moment , particularly in the in maungdaw.
United Nations say we are the most persecuted minority in the world and we Rohingyas are the ‘ Palestine of Asia ‘. We have suffered too much already and we cannot bear to suffer anymore. See the daily HRVs and abuses occuring to our people, the humanitarian nightmare caused by the ultra-nationalists and extremist Rakines. It is an ethnic-cleansing, the term we using here in a polite way for genocide.
Since Rohingya case is internationalized and it should be handled with care by the International Community. And the crisis should be solved through dialogue and negotiations by tripartite means with UN, Myanmar government and the Rohingyas.
Mr Secretary General, we don’t wish to see another ‘ holocoust ‘ this time happening to the destitute Rohingya people. We want all the ‘ ‘Concentration camps’ in Arakan closed. Enough is enough.
To solve the Rohingya crisis the International Community need to exert more pressure on the Myanmar government to seek a lasting solution without any further delay in order to difuse the Rohingya time-bomb.
So Mr Secretary General, please don’t take this matter as granted. Please save the innocent lives of the Rohingyas.
We deserve the rights of ethnicity and the rights of citizenship. I appreciate President Thein Sein’s positive views in his address to the UNGA concerning the citizenship question of the Rohingyas and that it would be done according to the jurisdiction of the International norms. I have every confidence that he will be true to his words and close the ugly chapter of the turbulent era of injustice and brutality from the history of Asia for good.
