Kyaw Kyaw reported the followings on phone conversation: 

Kyaw Kyaw is an Rakhine Ethnic, a son of intellectual Rakhine , who loves sharing humanly value and lives peacefully with all other religions especially with Rohingya and the fellow –habitants. 

He added: 

‘Rohingyas in Kyauk Nimaw have already determined not to run away from their ancestral homeland and rather prefer to die facing the ultimate consequences against attacks by Rakhine extremists and security forces as well. They have already taken the engines out of the boats to strengthen their ‘determination’ against the fleeing’. 

On this subject, one of the military officers asked the Rohingyas why they were not fleeing to their country, Bangladesh. Maulana Abukalam, a Muslim leader responded to the military officer,’ This is our own country, we love dying here, do you too want to kill us in collaboration with the Rakhines?’. Then the military officer assures that they will provide the protection as possible as they could. Then 20 minutes later, the Rakhine extremists mob dispersed. 

On the previous day( 30/10/2012) early morning, the Rakhine extremists- mob, with new faces, normally hired ones from other towns, launched a new attack on the Muslims despite of the Military and security presence . This time the military and the security force tried their best as they promised to defend the mob but failed against the huge bloodthirsty Rakhine extremists. Finally the military force marked a Red line and warned whoever crossed would be shot. Then some 30 Rakhines ( new faces – hired ones) who ignored the redline and warning were shot dead. 

On a phone conversation with a Rohingya resident named U Hamid from Kyauk Phyu who is currently sheltering in Sandong of Sittwe told that he received a phone call from his very friend, District commissioner ( Police), and he asked help, protection. He replied negative as the Central Command warned him not to interfere. 

Hamid also told that local Rakhines and Rohingyas are living for thousands year friendly, respectfully to each other till the historic day of the attack by unfamiliar Rakhine terrorists. Hamid seriously and surprisingly mentioned that two days before the attack on Rohingyas took place, military moved all local Rakhines to Monestary from Amla Quarter, Myo Thik, Than Phan Chaung. Because Hamid thinks that Rakhines could have helped Rohingyas during attack as happened in Akyab. Then Military dragged Rohingyas from their houses to an opened field and looted all properties from their houses including gold. After two days military brought Rakhines back to their houses. 

Furthermore Military keeps the route of Yangon for Rohingyas open aiming systematically Rohingya cleanses from Arakan, said Hamid. As the result, about 30 Rihingyas went to Rangoon by paying 100’000 Kyats per person to escape genocidal acts on them.
