The violence in Myanmar is escalating.

Myanmar Rakhine: Thousands flee to Bangladesh border

Members of the Muslim Rohingya minority escaped to the border with Bangladesh, but Bangladeshi border guards are turning them back.

Violence erupted when Rohingya fighters attacked 30 police stations on Friday and clashes continued on Saturday.
More than 100 people, mostly insurgents, have been reported killed...

Its shameful
Aung San does nothing, she is a puppet of the military government ONLY elected to court favor with western governments so they would ease their restriction.
She never had a chance to make anything right or hlep improve the life of ALL Burmese people

Richard have you ever been there? Photos or film?

Seemed to me that quite a few women walking with babes in arms were rather well dressed.

I'm not passing off on the tragedy but just wondering if some footage was staged.

More bad news

COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh (Reuters) - Rohingya Muslims fleeing to Bangladesh from escalating violence in Myanmar face the growing danger of sickness and attempts by the Bangladesh authorities to send them home, despite a United Nations plea that they be allowed to seek shelter.

Bangladesh's border guards are trying to block the Rohingya from entering the country and send back those who have made it across the frontier.
Border guards told Reuters they had sent about 550 Rohingya back across the Naf river that separates the two countries since Monday, despite an appeal by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for Dhaka to allow Rohingya to seek safety.

Hundreds dead this week as the bloodshed continues...

1 September 2017
- Two dozen corpses believed to be the bodies of Rohingya women and children have washed up on a Bangladesh riverbank as fears grow of atrocities committed by Myanmar forces against the Muslim minority across the border.

In the deadliest violence in decades, nearly 400 people have been killed in a week of fighting in Myanmar’s north-west Rakhine state after Rohingya insurgents attacked security forces and the military responded with a huge counter-offensive.

Close to 38,000 Rohingya have fled their villages and attempted to cross into Bangladesh, according to United Nations estimates. World powers have warned Aung San Suu Kyi’s government to avoid killing innocent civilians.

The latest outpouring of refugees comes amid reports of ethnic violence from an activist group with a presence in the conflict area, accusing Myanmar security forces and Buddhist vigilantes of killing 130 Rohingya in the village of Chut Pyin.
“We were told that the army encircled the village and attacked people when they fled,” said Chris Lewa, director of the Arakan Project, an advocacy group set up to work with the Rohingya. “According to our information from the ground, at least 130 were killed, most of them died from gunshot wounds,” she said of the incident which occurred on Sunday. ..

am going to keep posting and hope ceo news does to keep this out there, The UN and the word can not ignore what is going on.
Governments are claiming they cant do anything because it would violate Myanmar's sovereignty, BUT the goverment will not allow anyone in to confirm or deny what is gong on

COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh — Nearly 400 people have died in fighting that has rocked Myanmar’s northwest for a week, new official data show, making it probably the deadliest bout of violence to engulf the country’s Rohingya Muslim minority in decades.

Around 38,000 Rohingya have crossed into Bangladesh from Myanmar, UN sources said, a week after Rohingya militants attacked police posts and an army base in Rakhine state, prompting clashes and a military counteroffensive.

About 20,000 more Rohingya trying to flee are stuck in no man’s land at the border, the U.N. sources said, as aid workers in Bangladesh struggle to alleviate the sufferings of a sudden influx of thousands of hungry and traumatized people.

For background on this problem, please read this interview from 2012 with Rakhine history expert Dr. Jacques P. Leider

On August 25, the Arakan Rohginya Salvation Army attacked some 30 police outposts and an army base in Rakhine State, causing the Myanmar Army to respond with security clearance operations. The renewed violence has sent thousands of Rohingya Muslims and Arakanese Buddhists fleeing their homes to temporary camps in the region or across the border to Bangladesh.

....For me, Rohingya is the term, which is an old word that has been claimed as above all as a political label after the independence of Myanmar. For the moment, I do not see that all the people there readily submit to one and a single label.
