                               ince 2012, a place called Arakan in Myanmar has

                               been grabbing international headlines, with reports
                               of people being hunted down and killed, villages
                               being put to the torch, and refugees being stranded
                               at sea after neighboring countries refused to let them
                               in.

                  So what's going on in Myanmar?

                  The Rohingya Muslims are a minority in Myanmar that once
             ruled the region with a kingdom that lasted for 350 years. Later, the
             tide turned and the Rohingya became a minority in their own home-
             land. Today, they are known as the most persecuted people in the
             world, stateless and seemingly unwanted by anyone.

                  If you are a Rohingya you have two choices:

                  1) You can stay at home. But that means being forced to live in
             dismal camps with no freedom to leave, frequent attacks by extremist
             mobs, which includes being burned to death, and your house being
             burned down. Also you will be denied citizenship rights and you can-

             not rely on the security forces, as what happened until now make it
             clear. From 1942 to 1996, two million people were forced to flee their
             homes, 15,000 settlements were razed to ground, 300,000 people were
             slaughtered and 20,000 women were raped. 5,000 mosques were des-
             troyed and in 2012, the attacks flared up with 330 villages burned
             down with their residents in them. Moreover, if you choose to stay,
             you cannot go to state hospitals, own a motor vehicle or even a telep-
