The coming to power of a civilian government changed nothing
in the lives of the Rohingya. It has failed to prevent the loss of Mus-
lim lives in religious clashes, hundreds of homes and workplaces
being put to the torch and some 250,000 having had to abandon their
homes because of the conflict. Moreover, it did not grant the
Rohingya the right to citizenship, one of the most basic human
rights.
Burmese Muslims, suffering the pain of having no homeland or
protection, are today living a life of imprisonment in isolated camps
in Rakhine province rather than in their own homes. They have no
social rights and have no access to public services such as education
and health. They get sick, but they are not admitted to hospital. They
find themselves unemployed, but they cannot work in official institu-
tions. Since they have no access to education, illiteracy levels stand at
80%. They cannot even obtain birth certificates for their children.
They do not have permission to marry. They cannot own land or
property. They are not allowed to build concrete homes, and can only
live in homes built of bamboo or wood, buildings which can be easi-
ly destroyed during attacks. The rights of citizenship, blessings we
never even think of, are just a dream for the Rohingya.
Ethnic cleansing and concentration camps
in the state of Arakan
The aim here is, quite bluntly, ethnic cleansing. One of the latest
features of this ethnic cleansing campaign is forcing Muslims of
Arakan to identify themselves as Bengali in order to become citizens.
The Arakanese Muslim identity is thus eradicated. Those who reject
that identity are punished by being sent to isolation camps.
