What are the real reason behind the violence in Myanmar Rakhine State that has drove hundreds of thousands Rohingya Muslims to neighboring country Bangladesh?


International communities have criticized Myanmar government of cruel military operation against Myanmese Rohingya Muslim and urged its to stop this operation and allow international aid to help these people as UN said around 400,000 Rohingya has fled to Bangladesh due to the violence in recent weeks between Myanmese military and the Arakan Rohingya Salvatin Army (ARSA) in Northern state of Rakhine.

United Nations General Secretary Antonio Gueterres said that "it is clearly an example of ethnic cleansing."

Aung Sun Soo Kyi, a nobel peace prize in democracy was heavily criticized of not speaking against Myanmese military actions. Myanmar government has the rights to tackle terrorists and denied any wrong doing towards Rohingya Muslim despite allegation from these people that government militia are killing them, light their villages and shoot them while they are fleeing. However, Myanmese government accused the ARSA that they are the one who burned those villages down and cause civilian casualties. This has surprised international communities and so they are asking Myanmar government to stop this violence.

UNHCR and International Aid Agencies are overwhelming with Rohingya people issues as assistance to them are limited.

Finally Aung Sun Soo Kyi has decided not to attend United Nations General Assembly forum at the end of September due to the political instability in Myanmar.

But most important of all, many Myanmese still see Rohingya Muslim in Myanmar as illegal migrants from Bangladesh even though they have resided in Myanmar for generations.
