Myanmar still enjoys killing Arakan while the world is reeling from coronavirus


Myanmar still enjoys killing Arakanese people while nations, all over the world, are attempting to save their people in the situation of coronavirus pandemic. Myanmar seeks this predicament as an opportunity to commit genocide on Arakanese people when the whole world is struggling
to overcome killer virus. During the period of  the world’s concentration on coronavirus, Myanmar has killed people of Arakan by shelling bombs on villages, setting fire to villages and shutting down internet communication in northern Arakan.

There are four short rivers in northern Arakan, flowing in a particular direction into Bay of Bengal. From the each river mouth or from the river basin, Myanmar Navy’s small side warships are sailing up and down in the rivers nowadays, firing artillery shells on villages which are situated on the riverbanks . Since then, Arakanese villagers have to flee their villages to nearby places with only cloth on their bodies. When villagers are fleeing, Myanmar soldiers set fire to those villages. People lose everything and their houses. No one can go towards them to help because Myanmar blocks humanitarian aid and workers to assist them.

At the same time, the oppressed Arakan in their patrimony land under the Myanmar rule are being attacked by Myanmar air force which strafes firebombs on almost every village in Northern Arakan, killing villagers, women and children everyday.  Besides this, Myanmar soldiers abduct Arakanese villagers every time when they forcefully enter into villages, firing gunshots to entire village even religious temple and medical clinic.  

Monks and medical staff also were just to flee just a few days back when Myanmar Army shot at temple and medical clinic. During the shooting of Myanmar Army to medical hospital in northern Arakan, a relative assist of a patient was hit bullet on her neck and she was killed. Patients are to shift under the firing from Myanmar Army.

Myanmar has killed Arakanese people 250 just in a few months and injured 500 and 700 arrested so far. And due to Myanmar Army’s shooting and setting fire to villages, there are almost 200,000 Internally Displaced Persons in Northern Arakan without sufficient food and shelters.
