In yet another act of violence Rohingya militants, more than 30 innocent civilians including 11 forces lost their lives on Friday. This attack is being touted as the worst violence in months on what has been called the most persecuted minority on earth. Officials and spokesperson for Myanmar forces confirm the unrest and assure masses that the police and military forces are actively fighting against “Bengali terrorists” – a term used by the state to describe Rohingya militants. Urging an immediate action to scrap restrictions on movement and citizenship for its roughly million-strong Rohingya minority, UN chief Kofi Anan issued a report after a year long commission aimed at healing the conflict. However, unrest continues to engulf the febrile state of Rakhine in Myanmar where Rohingyas suffer at the hands of religious persecution and institutional discrimination. Sporadic raids by Myanmar’s forces, aimed at capturing militants often result in civilian casualties amongst Rohingya villagers. Members of the minority remain trapped between the fear of militants, looking to weed out state-collaborators, and state forces. Rohingya militants emerged as a force last October under the banner of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), which claims to be leading an insurgency based in the remote May Yu mountain range bordering Bangladesh. Though not yet clear if ARSA led the attack or not, tensions have tweaked prompting some ethnic Rakhine villagers to flee. It continues to be of concern why and when this issue will receive the media and international concern and attention it deserves. Lack of involvement by Western media as well as international human rights organization depicts nothing but biasness in what issues are deemed worthy of concern. The most persecuted minority begs for support yet it receives nothing but silence in return.
