It has 150 houses and do not know how many houses were burned down, and how many people were killed or wounded, said a school teacher from the locality.
The present Burmese government policy is religious and ethnic cleansing of Rohingya community, similar to what happened in Bosnia Herzegovina in 1990s and the tragedies in Rowanda and Burundi in Africa, said a politician.
