WORLD-CLASS SOCIOPATHS | M.S. Anwar

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

- Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Cabinet Hitler

In Burma (or Myanmar), it all began in 1962 with the ascendance of Gen. Ne Win to the power, who led a military coup and seized the power from its first and ever democratically elected government. He was a believer in superstitions, delusional ideologist and ultranationalist. So naturally, he was always hostile to the people of different origin and religion in the country. Therefore, that altogether led him, during his reign, to kill thousands of innocent people and commit countless crimes against humanity. To escape the punishments for his crimes, he used to lie with a straight face so much so that he achieved ultimate happiness and pleasure in doing so. His 26-year-long reign came to the end after the nationwide uprising in 1988. However, the dictators who succeeded him have proven to be the world-class sociopaths, oxymoronic and the most brutal.

Being hostile to Non-Tibeto-Burman-Mongoloid Buddhists, Ne Win implemented exclusionary policies and carried out numbers of operations against Muslim Rohingyas of Indo-Aryan origin in Arakan. Consequently, it led to mass exodus of Rohingyas to neighbouring Bangladesh and other countries. Simultaneously, he brought in thousands of Bengali Magh (Rakhine) Buddhists to replace the leaving Rohingyas. Though his reign came to the end in 1988, his legacy of racism has grown stronger under his successors Gen. Saw Maung, Gen.Than Shwe and the current Pseudo President Thein Sein.

Rohingyas, Kamans and Kachins under the Neo-Nazi Regime

As of today, as a part of genocide, a new wave of atrocities against and mass killings of Rohingyas and Kamans have been being carried out in large scale since 8^th June 2012. Following are some instances of the atrocities being carried out against them.

1. More than seven thousands of them were killed through various means, be in the prisons or outside, while displacing several thousand on their own land.
2. Their women and under-aged girls were or are either raped or gang-raped by Military and others.
3. Their properties are looted on daily basis and their mosques and religious have been locked down. 
4. Their educated people and other innocent people have been detained for nothing.
5. They are inhumanely tortured in the secret cells where they are locked up. The latest method created to torture the newly arrested Rohingyas is that each and every Rohingya is stroked 57 times with a rope made up of Iron Wire before he/she is locked in. It is reported that each shot of stroke is for each member country of OIC.
6. Their access to foods and medicines are blocked. They are starving to death.

Above all, only about 40% of atrocities against them including the losses of lives, properties etc could have been documented. Other about 60% of atrocities would have been successfully covered up by Burmese Regime and Magh (Rakhine) extremists. They had already plotted and conspired to conceal their each and every crime against Rohingyas and Kamans before the violence actually started to take place. Denial of access or free access to Independent Observers, International Investigations, Foreign Media and Humanitarian Workers to Arakan clearly shows that they want to conceal the grave crimes they have been committing. The continual heinous crimes against these people makes their situation worse than the situation of Jews in Nazi Extermination Camps during WWII, Muslims in Bosnia in the late 90s and Hindus in Sri Lanka in the recent years.

Moreover, there has been a hot Genocidal War going on in Kachin State, Nothern Burma for more than a year. Hundreds of innocent Kachins civilians were killed and thousands were displaced. Vandalizing and looting the properties of Kachins and raping their women by Bama military are common now. They are being attacked and killed just because they practice a different religion, demand equal rights and dignity to Bamas and reject their Big-Brother Policy. Meanwhile, Western Capitalist Nations and their Agencies are busy in deciding what Peace Award should be given to the heartless Barbarians in Burmese regime. The outcries of the innocent people are ignored.

The Legacy of Lying

Yet to keep the legacy of lying alive and escape the punishments at ICCJ, Burmese regime is leaving no stone unturned to portray the violence against Rohingyas and Kamans as a SPONTANEOUS eruption of violence. They are trying to portray the violence against these people as “Ethic Clash or Strife, Communal Clash or Strife, Clash Between and so on.” The fact remains is that it is out and out genocide sponsored by the state and propagated by Neo-Nazi Propaganda Minister Bomuu Zaw Htay, the director of Thein Sein’s Office. And it is no longer a secret to anyone. The violence against Rohingyas and Kamans in Arakan is a result of systematic persecutions, implementation of Genocide and Deep-Rooted Islamophobia. Nevertheless, no way can it be said that there were no Maghs dead during this violent period. But those few who died were in their attempts to genocide Rohingyas and Kamans. Likewise, no one can say that no Nazi German Soldiers died in their attempts to genocide Jews during WWII.

Above all, the most awkward and awful accusation against Rohingyas is that they are being labelled as illegal Bengali settlers of British Colonial Period as well as of Post Independence of Burma. It is normal for the general Burmese to think of Rohingyas as so because they were and are kept in the darkness of ignorance and delusion for the longest time in the history. However, it is really pathetic to see some learnt and scholarly people bluffing such meaningless accusations and turning racists.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi: An Oxymoron and Mother of Ignorance

The latest person to join the gang of delusion and fanaticism is none other than Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself. She recently, in India, described the violence as an international tragedy caused by the illegal immigration of Bengalis through the porous border between Burma and Bangladesh. To quell the violence, hence, illegal immigrations into Arakan, Burma had to be stopped. Is she intentionally lying like her counterparts, Generals in Bama military-Pathological liars, who blatantly lie that no Burmese governments in the past had recognized Rohingyas and the term “Rohingya?” Or doesn’t she really have any clue about the history of Arakan and its situation? Or has her colleague, Ex-General U Tin Oo, a puppet of Ne Win and mass murderer of Rohingyas himself, wrongfully narrated the history of Rohingyas to her?

Besides, she is hypocritically silent on the genocides against Kachins. Upon a question posed by a Kachin Student at LSE Conference during her trip to London, she replied ‘Condemning anyone is not the Solution and we need to find out the root-causes to the problems.” I wonder what she was saying! Doesn’t she know what root-cause to the problem is at a time when every Burmese knows who are behind it and why?

Whatever the cases maybe, it is really pathetic to see her doing mindless stuffs just for the sake of a fixed political target. Her behaviour today is really demeaning to the titles “Democratic Icon and Human Rights Advocate” given to her. She should play straight forward and match her actions to her words. She should stop beating around the bush and being oxymoronic. It is understandable if the Generals in the Bama Military lie. It is not justifiable at all if someone who utters the words of human rights and speaking on behalf of the VOICELESS turns a racist herself and supports the human rights abuses.

Anti-Rohingya Propaganda by Sociopaths in Burma

Neither Rohingyas are illegal immigrants nor is any Bangladeshi migrating into Burma. It is a completely false propaganda spread by Burmese Regime and Magh racists to scapegoat Rohingyas to achieve their respective political targets. After all, why should any Bengali with his/her good and right sense come on a land which has been being ruled by one of the world’s most tyrannical governments, is relatively poor and has poorer infrastructures? Just because Bangladesh has a big population, it can’t be assumed that Bengalis are emigrating to Arakan. Bordering China and India have the biggest populations in the world and both countries have the huge income gaps among their populations!!! Bengalis don’t come to another third-world nation but try to go to the first-world nations. Ask any Bengali in Bangladesh or abroad.

Rohingyas are descendents of aboriginal Proto-Australoid Negritos and indigenous Indo-Aryan people of Arakan, who later came to mix with the people of different ethnic origin. The term “Rohingya” in the form of “Rooinga” existed as early as 17^th Century. Yet, they are not treated as human beings in the predominantly fanatic Buddhist country with the majority people of Tibeto-Burman of Mongoloid origin simply because they are of Indo-Aryan Descends and practice a different religion, Islam. After systematically committing crimes against these people and others for decades, they still keep lying to conceal their crimes against humanity. It seems that Burmese regime really matches the steps of their admired Hitler’s Nazis. Therefore, lying comes naturally to them and they have become generation liars and world-class sociopaths.

Refugee Camp Plan Opposed

Local residents in Burma's violence-wracked Rakhine state are against plans to set up a temporary shelter for Rohingyas.

Buddhist Rakhines in western Burma are opposing plans by authorities to set up a refugee camp for Muslim Rohingyas who fled recent deadly violence between the two communities, officials and residents say, as a U.N. panel expressed concern over the government's treatment of the Rohingya stateless group.

The proposed temporary shelter in Pauktaw township, east of the Rakhine state capital Sittwe, is part of plans to resettle more than 100,000 homeless people, mostly Rohingyas, following the communal violence in June and October.

“Local people don’t want them [Rohingyas] to be relocated in the town,” Pauktaw resident Aung Myint told RFA’s Burmese service. “If they are resettled close to the town, there will be problems with them.”

Instead of setting up the camp in their township, residents of Pauktaw, where clashes occurred in October, want authorities to investigate whether any of the displaced Rohingyas are living in Burma illegally, he said.

“We want transparency … on what will be done if they are not yet Burmese citizens,” Aung Myint said. 

“We want the authorities to investigate them according to the 1982 Citizenship Law and decide to replace them in appropriate location when they become Burmese citizens.”

“They are not trustworthy. It is impossible to live together with them [Rohingyas] in the same area,” Aung Myint said.

The 1982 Citizenship Law, which limits citizenship to those who can prove their ancestors lived in the country, bars citizenship rights to many Rohingya, whom the U.N. considers one of the world’s most persecuted minorities.

The Rohingyas have been long viewed by the authorities and by many Burmese as illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh even though many have lived in the country for generations.

Rights groups said many of Burma's 800,000 stateless Rohingyas bore the brunt of the violence. Rakhines were also among those killed and made homeless during the clashes. 

Earlier this month, authorities launched operations to track down illegal Rohingyas, beginning with inspections in Pauktaw.

No decision yet
Rakhine state’s Minister of Social Affairs Aung Kyaw Min said the authorities had not yet decided on the location of the proposed camp in Pauktaw and that they were considering views from “both sides.”

“We are still choosing the appropriate location for them Rohingyas. It might be in the villages,” he told RFA’s Burmese service.

“This plan is not settled yet,” he said. “To fulfill the requests of people from both sides, they need to be fair.”

He added that those who would be settled in the camp had been living in Pauktaw township before they were displaced. 

“We are thinking to replace the refugees who were living in Pauktaw township in an appropriate place in the same township because [neighboring] Sittwe township is much more crowded,” he said.

Around 180 killed were killed in the communal clashes in June and October, according to official figures, with displaced about 111,000 people, officials have said.

U.N. concern
The U.N. General Assembly’s Third Committee, which focuses on rights concerns, adopted a resolution on Monday raising the sensitive issue of citizenship for the stateless Rohingyas and calling on the Burmese government to address human rights abuses on the group.

The committee’s resolution "express[es] particular concern about the situation of the Rohingya minority in Rakhine state [and] urges the government to take action to bring about an improvement in their situation and to protect all their human rights, including their right to a nationality,” according to Reuters news agency.

Burma’s mission to the U.N. told the committee it would accept the resolution but rejected the characterization of the Rohingya as one of Burma’s ethnic groups.

"There has been no such ethnic group as Rohingya among the ethnic groups of Burma," a representative of the mission said, according to Reuters.  

"Despite this fact, the right to citizenship for any member or community has been and will never be denied if they are in line with the law of the land."

The Burma representative said that the two outbreaks of violence were not rooted in any persecution of Rohingyas.  

"The violence in Rakhine state was just a violent communal clash affecting both sides of the community. It is not an issue of religious persecution," he said.

Unjust law to arrest innocent Rohingyas

“In accord the section of an act 436/512, the following listed persons (Rohingyas) from Maung-Daw Township are regarded as absconders from the law by the Judge of Buthidaung township court and that of the court lawyers”

27 November 2012 :

The Union government, Rakhine state government and entire RNDP party members’ manipulated outburst has affected the whole Rakhine state where there are more or less Rohingyas and Kaman people -- the tortured, burned alive, forcefully evicted, dislocated, looted, oppressed, displaced, mass dead in sea water, and multi designed helplessly sufferers are almost all Rohingyas if compared to some Rakhine fake victims who are being stationed in some well arranged camps as merely to show up.

Though, some Rakhine Buddhists people were surely faced with fatality as they intruded and fought with Rohingyas in respective townships --- for instance AnaukPyin village, Rathedaung Township and Yinthay village in Mrauk-Oo Township -- in all about the state for the last six months. No one can deny the evidences while these have even been shown by the satellite photos for further proofs and reminder.

We, the entire Rohingyas people have been simply cheated by the series of statement (how to handle the case of Rakhine state) of President Thein Sein from time to time. U Thein Sein’s occasional statements and announcements in regard the violence and chaos in Rakhine state through radios and official directives have totally been ridiculous and insensible to meet the organized cooperative and destructive effort of the whole Rakhine assailants against the innocent Rohingyas people’ lives and that of the social livelihoods. If president was an honest person and wished to suppress the chaos, he would have done it with in couple of days as did in 2007 against the saffron revolution. Instead, he does drift the subject to prolong into more mess for nonsense chit-chat from every corner of the world.

All Rakhine perpetrators who have blissfully and obediently involved in chaos-- torching the Rohingyas villages and killing innocent people-- be arrested soon and put in long term jails in several prisons of the country in accord the laws. As almost all entire Rakhine mass people have dutifully involved in the massacre of the Rohingyas innocent people, no Rakhine ladies and gentlemen would abscond from an un-arrested if each Rakhine individual involvement is thoroughly investigated. Almost all Rakhine are guilty-less in the last chaos.

Before and after the one sided attack was launched on Rohingyas in accord their preplanned harmonized action, soon all relevant perpetrators from local and abroad have set up to propagate the attack through their several local journals and oversea Burmese programs such as VOA, RFA, BBC and DVA as if the chaos was run by Rohingyas.

To recoil from their (state government, Rakhine state government, RNDP party and mass Rakhine people) sadism and brutal inhumane activities committed on Rohingyas along Rakhine state for the last six months, the respective governments’ tools such as township courts Judges and the lawyers have knowingly designed their own laws to arbitrarily arrest innocent Rohingyas people from each township to shoulder the wrongdoing of the Union government, Rakhine state government, RNDP and mass Rakhine people to over innocent Rohingyas.

Army arrests Rohingya youth in Maungdaw

Maungdaw, Arakan State: A Rohingya youth was arrested yesterday by army in Maungdaw Town over the allegation that he was involved in the violence of June 8, according to a close relative of the victim.


“The victim was identified as Moulvi Mohamed Alam (25), son of Abdu Shukur, hailed from Nurulla Para (village) of Maungdaw south.”

The victim was arrested by Major Ray Wint Aung, the Deputy Commander of Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 352. The Commander accompanied by some soldiers have been taking station at Maungdaw south after the June violence between Rakhine and Rohingya. The Commander was sent there to control the riot but the commander has discriminating the Rohingya villagers though there is Nasaka (Burma’s border force) is present, said a local elder who denied to be named.

After arrest, the army officer demanded Kyat 3 million from the victim to be released, but the arrestee is not able to pay this huge amount.  As a result, the commander handed over the victim to the Maungdaw police station.

According to a neighbor of the victim, the police filed case with false and fabricated accusation against him and gave three days remand from the court.

Regarding the June riot in Maungdaw Township, over 1,000 Rohingya villagers were arrested excluding Rakhine people. Some were missing and many were killed after security forces’ arrest, according to local sources.

Similarly, Nasaka arrested two Rohingyas –Younous, 28, son of Ismail and Saifullah, 20, son of Molana Abdul Sukur, hailed from Kanpu village, Maungdaw  on November 21, with so called warrant list, said a village admin official.
After nearly six months of riot, the security forces have been arresting arbitrarily only Rohingya villagers. After arrests, villagers were tortured and extorted money from them and some were sent to jail without any proper documents and query. The security forces arrested Rohingya people after entering the village whom they met, especially youths, educated persons and rich men. Meanwhile, if they got chance, they assaulted the Rohingya women and girls, a local trader said.

The security forces will not stop the arrest and harassment against the Rohingya people until and unless the government’s pressure against them.

Government’s New Attempt to Forcibly Bengalize Rohingyas

In the wake of its attempts to forcibly bengalize the ethnic Rohingyas, Myanmar government has been adopting a measure after another in the last couple of months. The government is making all efforts to prove its false accusing them of illegal immigration from Bangladesh and is forcing them softly sometimes and mightily sometimes to identify themselves as Bengalis.

Firstly, the government has started to check and investigate their documents and proofs for identification especially in the areas affected by the current apartheid after it has burnt all the homes and properties into ashes where they have lost everything even the dress worn at the time. Secondly, the investigating team targets the victims that lost every belonging including their, the displaced or the ones who has other weakness like illiteracy, poor mentality, etc.

Its first policy was mendacious temptations and false promises that it will provide Rohingyas with all fundamental rights if they admit to being Bengalis as their ethnic origin. When the government has realized that these temptations and promises have fallen on deaf ears as nobody dared to lie about his ethnicity, its next attempt was to threaten them, as is its wont, by arresting, torturing, beating and extorting huge amount of money. But this attempt appeared to be futile too.


Breaking news of November 24, 2012

Finally, in the regions under NaSaKa (Border Immigration Head Quarter)’s authority in Maungdaw and Buthidaung, every Imam of mosques – who are the spiritual and religious leaders of Rohingya communities – are called by NaSaKa to the respective offices together with village administration saying for an official meeting. Having reached there to the office, they are ordered to put off the religious dress (cap and long shirt called Kurtah) and to pay MMK 500 each before entering. And then they are forced to fill up a form for personal information keeping the ‘Race’ blank and to sign it or to sign a totally blank form. After that, the officials complete the forms writing the ‘Race’ as Bengalis. In the end, the officials let them go back after taking MMK 2000 to 6000 from each.

Indeed, the government’s thinking beyond forcing the Imams first is that perhaps the public will follow them blindly in admitting to be illegal immigrants. And all these efforts are being made by the government to blind the world to its lying for decades and to show as proofs in need.

The Fresh Violence in Maungdaw

“57 times severe punishments were the trademark of 57 member countries of Organization of Islamic Cooperation which is a sister organization NGO of United Nations” 

November 24 – On November 20, Twelve innocent Rohingya people from Zaw-Ma-Tet village (Lam-Ba-Guna Fara) were arrested by NaSaKa forces from Maungdaw Township. In that village, some seven to ten Muslim Rohingya houses were burnt down by Rakhine mobs on November 19 after the President Obama delivered the speech at Yangon University Convocation Hall. “As a golden present to President Obama for his speech in which he mentioned and noted in regard of Rohingya” Rakhine mobs said while torching the houses. The arrestees were falsely accused by the authority that the Rohingya houses were burnt down by themselves and that was the reason why they were arrested.

Before handing over the arrestees Rohingyas to the police of Maungdaw, NaSaKa had started deliberately torturing the arrested ones --- each 57 times severely beating up on their back. “57 times severe punishments were the trademark of 57 member countries of Organization of Islamic Cooperation which is a sister organization NGO of United Nations” NaSaKa forces said.

As a matter of fact, all these grass-root Rohingyas have no exact information or knowledge of Islamic countries’ activities in the sphere of international political activities, but all the relevant authorities have been in “rickety and wobbly” while simply dealing with ordinary Rohingya people. That remarkably all along the times the discriminatory policies adopted on Rohingyas pushes the local people to guess any outside be of assistance—whoever may be, whatever source should be, whichever channel that be---to save them from all sorts of discriminatory policies practicing on innocent Rohingya all along the time. After that, they were transferred to the police station and they again severely punished on innocent Rohingya people and they are still in police custody.

On November 22, some paddy fields workers, whom Amanullah hired to harvest in his paddy fields, each holding sickle to start up to reap the paddy in the field, were being stopped by NaSaKa paramilitary forces and Mr. Amanullah (paddy field owner) was summoned by NaSaKa nearby a house which belongs to a car driver namely Mr. Zafar. Mr. Amanullah, from “Italia” Village of Maungdaw Township, an owner of paddy fields nearly by Block (3) Maungdaw Township, was severely beaten and put in now in police custody. In this regards, though Mr. Amanullah made complaints at the NaSaKa headquarters, head of the military battalion, township police station and township administrative office, yet there is no hint to take action against the complaint by either of the authority.

Military head of “Alay-than-Kyaw” village, County of Maungdaw Township, has systematically formed some Rohingyas and Rakhine human trafficking brokers to recruit those who want to go Malaysia. It is learned that per head 300,000 Kyats is defined for a payment to send to Malaysia --- such a illicit way has been very perilous for job hunters facing many times on a half water way (on international water)--- either the people were intentionally being boarded on the bank of Thai authorities or along the coast of Irrawaddy delta and Tannassarim coast ---where the innocent Rohingya job hunters usually faced long term jail imprisonment by Myanmar authorities on alleged accusation such as Bengali immigrants crossing the Myanmar border unlawfully though its (Myanmar government) acknowledgement that Rohingya being the Myanmar citizens. Such the accidents had been many times and there are many innocent Rohingya people in every jail of the country along the nation. We have found that the alternative authorities of Myanmar from respective regions along Rakhine state have been dishonestly earning money showing the ‘enticement’ job opportunity in Malaysia and Singapore in one hand and crookedly putting the innocent job hunters (Rohingya) from a half water way by turning the sailing boats to the authorities and putting the jails subsequently from the other hand.

Again date on November 22, from the military battalion (14), some six NaSaKa paramilitary forces leading by captain Kyaw Myint entered the “Shwe Zet” village and started the routine investigation against the naive villagers so and so and --- that afraid of being arrested and tortured by the authority, the Rohingya male villagers have fled away to where a bit safe hideout – then a women villager namely “Ms. Zura Khatu” was arrested and now she is in police custody under an alleged accusation of possessing “Bangla mobile phone”.

Army killed one, wounded three in Buthidaung

Buthidaung, Arakan State: Army personnel from Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No, 551 of Buthidaung Township killed one villager and wounded three others in Buthidaung Township on November 20, according to a villager on condition of anonymity.

“On that day, at around 2:00 pm, a section of army from LIB Battalion No.551 went to Pyin Hla village of Para Pyin Thintan village tract of Buthidaung Township and made blank fire
into air. Seeing and hearing this, the villagers were fleeing from their village. But, later, the soldiers fired to the villagers while they were fleeing. As a result, one villager was killed on the spot and three others were seriously wounded. Some villagers were severely tortured for fleeing the village.”

“The dead villager was identified as Abdu Zawlil (45), son of Sayed Ahmed, hailed from Pyin Hla village.”

The soldiers said to the villagers while beating them, “This is not your country. Why do you live here? These are gifts for Rohingyas,” said one of the villagers who was severely beaten up by the soldiers.

Some of the soldiers from Battalion No.551 temporarily have been taking station at Gwason Island of Buthidaung Township. Its original headquarters or camp is Maung Nama Palay Daung village, east of Buthidaung Town.

On November 21, Border Affairs Minister Than Htay said that security forces have done their best to enforce the rule of law.

A schoolteacher from the locality said, “Government says to impose rule of law immediately, but in practical, it is quite difference. They have actual policy and declared policy.”

International Rights Groups have condemned the government for not taking action to stop the violence.

Egypt has expressed is strong irritation towards the renewal of acts of violence committed against Muslims in Myanmar (formerly Burma), and urged the authorities in Burma to take immediate, decisive action and bring to an end such acts of violence committed against (Burmese) Muslims who belong to the Rohingya ethnicity, said Minister plenipotentiary Amro Rushdi, a spokesman from the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Ministry.

A village elder said, “How will stay at the village, even the security forces discriminate us?”
