The Muslim “Rohingya” of Burma

Martin Smith

 

A preliminary point I want to highlight is that, while Burma has many complex ethnic problems, the plight of the Muslims of Arakan is by far the most tense and difficult of all the ethnic problems I have encountered in over a decade of writing on the political and ethnic situation in Burma. Firstly, there is a strong element of ethnic communalism, which has resulted in periodic but unpredictable outbreaks of social violence and upheaval; secondly, there are strong religious undercurrents which relate to the situation of all Muslims in Burma at large; and, thirdly, there is an intransigence on the part of many of the main protagonists, which has made the finding of lasting solutions so very difficult.

Larry Jagan

 

BANGKOK – Myanmar's top brass are in the process of overhauling their junta-led government, where military leader General Than Shwe and second-in-command General Maung Aye are preparing to stand down from their traditional military commands and hand over authority to a new generation of senior soldiers.

ethnic cleansing policy of military regime in Burma. Also about 1.5
million Rohingyas have been living in exile in many countries all
over the world. The Rohingyas in Burma continue to suffer from
several forms of restrictions and human rights violations. The
Rohingyas freedom of movement is severely restricted and right to
education is harshly deprived. The Rohingyas have effectively been
denied Burmese citizenship by the current SPDC military regime,
although the previous democratically elected governments had
recognized them as the citizens of Burma. They are also subjected to
various forms of extortion and arbitrary taxation; land
confiscation , forced eviction and house destruction and
restrictions on marriage. Rohingyas continue to be used as forced
labors on roads and at military security camps.

April 14, Burma Issues
In October of 2004, the government of Malaysia, despite its generally
ambivalent posture towards refugees, declared that it would recognize the

country in the world to offer resettlement opportunities to this
population .

Toward Understanding Rohingya

(By Shau Khat alias MSK Jilani), USA
The name' Rohingya ' was not given by the separatists nor fundamentalists from Bangladesh after 1993-94. The word' Rohingya ' is a legitimate and recognized word during the periods of democratic rules in Burma.
The word' Rohingya comes from' Rohang ' which was the original and ancient name of Arakan. Today, some Arakanese-Rakhine educated people were not interesting to really understand the word' Rohingya' and its actual meaning.
