Washington: (Thursday, August 9, 2012) The United States of America has raised its voice against the atrocities being committed by the Burma government on the local Rohingya Muslims. In a press release issued today, the State Department
stated, “The United States is deeply concerned by the Government of Bangladesh’s stated intent to shut down nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that have been providing critical humanitarian aid to Rohingya residing in Bangladesh. We urge the Government of
Bangladesh to permit these NGOs to continue providing humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya, other vulnerable individuals fleeing the violence in Burma’s Rakhine State, and the local Bangladeshi population in the Bangladesh-Burma border region.

We are continuing to monitor ethnic and sectarian tensions in Burma’s Rakhine State and continue to call for restraint, an end to violence, and the upholding of principles of nondiscrimination, tolerance, and religious freedom.
We have consistently urged the Burmese Government to reach a peaceful resolution as soon as possible and to bring those responsible for the violence to justice in a timely manner and in accordance with due process.”

    all over the Arakan ‘s mosques were shut down till today. No prayers can perform. No business running, no laborers can work, no daily foods are available, no body can go out, only Buddhist Rakhine can out, Rakhine along with Govt forces prevented all movement of Muslims, humanitarian crisis may grow up to starve to death or fleeing the home land that President Thein Sein wishing. To flee, leave or cross the border, securities forces collect Kyat 100000 each then can flee to Bangladesh. Bangladesh border guard also ask tools per person Taka 10000 to enter in to the area with untrace able place.
