Rohingyas living in concentration camp of ShiShapara Camp, Akkyab (Sittwe) have not been getting any charitable aids from anyone for a long time and so, their health and living places have become very miserable and devastating, one of them reported.

There are more than ten thousands Rohingyas but none of them is literate enough to present their distress to the donors for which they have not been getting any humanitarian aids for a long time. And the condition of their living tents has become very miserable for not repairing since long.
Form the last Ramadan, people have been suffering from many hazards such as starvation, passing sleepless night for rainfall and entering cold wind into homes for having no walls. For all these unhygienic and harmful situations, poor people have been fighting with fatal diseases and premature death.
The newly elected NLD government of Myanmar has not taken any step yet to help them in the hazardous condition as the sufferers are ethnic Rohingyas. That is why, the needy people are begging charitable helps form the philanthropists of all over the world.

Border Guard police (BGP) brutally extorted 97500 Kyats ($ 850) from a medically skillful Rohingya who came to assist a pregnant Rohingya woman for emergency relief from ail in Kayin Dan, Padin village tract, Maungdaw, according to a villager.

For poverty, harassment of doctors and difficult transportation, a family member of the poor pregnant woman called in Nozir, a medically skillful body, in order to prescribe some remedies for the patient on 4, August. After a while visiting the patient, he went out to his home.
At the mid-way, 7 policemen from Makyi Chaung camp arrested him alleging as a quack and harassed him physically and mentally. Then they demanded 97,5000 Kyats for his release. To safeguard Nozir’s life, his family as well as relatives somehow managed the money by taking loans and fulfilled their illegal demands.
It is clear that NLD government like military regime instigates the authorities to extort money continuously from the innocent poor Rohingyas in order to make them flee their ancestral land, the villager added.

Mrauk U – Rohingyas in Mrauk U are restricted to move within their own town since 2012, where bribes are being taken by Long Thein for travel passes from one village to another.

Restriction of movement made Rohingyas life unbearable, where Long Thein (Government Forces) are further worsening by taking 200 Kyat for each passes in Paung Dong Village.
Recently since 25th July Long Thein ceased movement even with travel passes, due to which Rohingyas in that area became jobless and are in stage of starving.
Moreover by seeing the vulnerable situation of Rohingyas in that area, corrupted village head along with the collaboration of authority extorted 2000 Kyats/person with fake promises of providing jobs, where up till now no promised have been fulfilled.
Similar restrictions of movement have been reported from many other villages at present and past, where Government authorities are giving immune to corrupted officials and are participating in every genocidal tool for the ongoing Rohingya Genocide.

Buthidaung: Today government officials along with village head Salamatullah have confiscated the farmlands of an innocent Rohingya, by destroying the paddies grown by the owner, according to an eye witness.

In the incidence the brutal village head usually extorts 3 lakh Kyats, from the villagers in every land buying and selling issues. So, when he was known of the new land owner he demanded the usual amount. Due to her poor condition she refused to pay.
The victim is identified to be Rahim Hatu D/O Kabir Ahmed, who is the legal owner of the land. And its the only income source of Rahima, says a local on the condition of anonymity.
Although there’s no hope for justice from the authorities, she decided to file a case against the village head Salamatullah due to intolerable situation.
Illegal occupation of lands and money extortion on daily basis became a schedule in the lives of Arakanese Rohingys, where persecution and injustice are operated along with collaboration of government officials since the military rule.

More than 20 inhabitant Rohingyas were accused of illegal border cross in Buthidaung by village head and Border Guard Police (BGP) and extorted more than 2 million Kyats ($-1700), where some were sent to court for future persecution, according to an eye witness.

The village head Salamat Ullah brought 15 policemen from the camp of Sector-9, Taung Bazar and arbitrarily arrested some villagers on false accuse of re-entering into the country form abroad at Friday midnight, on 22 July. Then they were detained in the office of village head temporarily to demand money on release.
Some of the arrested Rohingyas were released on extortion of 200 thousands Kyats each. But there were a few poor, who could not fulfilled their demand, taken to the lock-up of BGP and eventually, were sent to the court of Buthidaung filing a case of illegal border cross. Of them, Subahaan, aged 70, is the only bread earner of the whole family working as a day labourer. Since his arrest, his family left no choice except begging.
BGP instigate the village head to create such cases against innocent Rohingya people so that they can extort money that continues on poor Rohingyas, he added.

Rathedaung: Since 2012, Authorities have confiscated 100’s acre of Rohingya farmlands in Anaprang and all farmlands of Muzai, Rathedaung, where they made intolerable starving situation by ceasing food ration given by MHD (NGO) on 23rd July 2016.

In the incidence, MHD informed villagers of Anaprang and Muzai village about ceasing rations under Government’s pressure, which was the only hope for these two villages.
In the food ration process, each individual were given 13.5 kg of rice,1 liter of oil, 1 kg of seed, and a pack of salt/family, where military use to snatch ¾ kg of rice/person.
“Ration distributed by the NGOs were not even enough to survive, where authorities are further worsening the starving situation by ceasing the whole ration process”, explains a villager on the condition of anonymity.
From 2012 these villagers were living under starving situation, where little ration by NGO’s was the only hope. Now they have been informed of ceasing ration, commencing from August, 2016.
Moreover they were asked to list down the vulnerable villagers, where whole village rely on ration. In the conversation villagers explained their starving situation and urged to provide ration for the whole village, where all are in starving situation, due to restriction of movement and land confiscation.
In spite of living in their ancestral land, these two villages are like open prisons, as they are surrounded by 24 Maugh villages, where Arakanese Rohingyas are persecuted in every possible way by Magh villagers, Military, BGP and other governmental authorities.
Starving to death is another genocidal tool, which is widely implemented by the government authorities along with Maughs for the ongoing Rohingya Genocide.
