ASEAN Freedoom Flotilla to Liberate Rohingya Myanmar Muslims to be Launched

The ASEAN NGO Coalition will organize a Freedom Flotilla mission to the Arakan/Rakhine state of Myanmar with the object of liberating the Rohingya from the continued persecution by the Myanmar securities.

The situation in Myanmar is distortedly portrayed as a sectarian clash between Rakhine Buddhist and Rohingya Muslims , when the truth is ,  there is a Goverment policy that Rohinyas are to be banished and decimated  from the Arakan/Rakhine state and militia Rakhines are given a free hand to massacre and exterminate the Rohingyas when and wherever encountered.

The situation is worsened by the Bangladesh closure of the Arakan-Bangladesh border , where the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) is pushing back any Rohingya refugees attempting to seek refuge and shelter from the Rakhine killers who have full cooperation from the police and army of Myanmar.

There is no clash. Only clear cut mass genocide , to repeat the 1942 massacre of 200,000 lives of the Rohingyas. And this is executed in an enclosure of the Arakan state , cut off from the rest world.

With the closed boundaries that has trapped the Rohingyas in the Arakan/Rakhine state plus the Bangladesh authority not allowing any  of the ethnic cleansing victims amongst the Rohingya from crossing the border neither any outside humanitarian help to enter and reaching the victims , the situation has arrived at a condition of a siege of a similar reality to Gaza. Egypt closed the Rafah crossing and Bangladesh closed the Teknaf border. No one or nothing is allowed to flow in or flow out. It’s an open human prison of a huge scale both in Arakan/Rakhine and Gaza. The difference being , there is a resistance in Gaza , but there is nothing in Arakan/Rakhine , literally Rohingyas are likened as sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered.

Now no foreign media nor humanitarian agency are allowed to enter Arakan and the heavy casualties suffered by the Rohingya Muslims from the extremist Rakhine Buddhist militia attacks on a daily basis will compound further the massacre.

The plight of the minority Rohingya  under inhuman treatment from the Myanmar government policy for decades has remained unattended by the international community. Untold injustice , massacre , torture , abduction , forced labor and rape have left the Rohingya at the mercy of the Myanmar authorities.
