The UN was unable to enter Myanmar and has therefore benefited from testimonies and images. After interviewing 875 witnesses and viewing videos and images, he accused the Myanmar army of genocide. The organization believes that the army general and five other high-ranking officials should be tried for “genocidal purposes.”

The Aryan Rohingya Liberation Army attacked a police and military compound a year ago. Twelve people were killed. The Rohingya also suffered revenge, with the Buddhist army entering 59 villages, burning 7,000 houses and killing 400 Rohingya.

It was the anniversary of the Rohingya exodus on August 25 and many went out to protest to demand “justice.” In the Rakhine region, 25,000 people have been killed and 700,000 people have fled, most of them to Bangladesh.

Like the animals

In the letter published by El Diario.es, a displaced Rohingya denounces his and his family’s living conditions: “We become animals if we continue to live like this.” According to the displaced person, things began to deteriorate in 2012, when ten people were killed in the village of Toung Gu and it was detected that the government was behind this murder, as in so many other murders. Another such incident occurred in 2016. 300 people were burned by the Myanmar army. Since then, the writer of the letter has not slept at home because of the fear that he slept on the mountain and in the mud.

A year later, members of the army went to his village and “shot the village for several hours.” They were aware of other situations like this and knew that they had to leave the village. They didn’t want to leave their country and lived in a mosque for a week. The attacks on the Rohingya continued and they decided to leave for Bangladesh after the attack on two villages near the mosque. They live in a refugee camp and have trouble feeding their family, the teacher who wrote the letter said. He wants to return to Myanmar when the situation calms down, believing that if not, his community will lose its unity and religion.
