Since then keep pouring through the border into bangladesh. Playing with the u. N. Describes as an ethnic cleansing. It is an epic exodus never seen before in asia in the twenty First Century eight hundred thousand so far have sought refuge in neighboring bangladesh what they experienced at the hands of mean more Security Forces are for most too difficult to put into words some cell women and young girls as young as ten being gang raped others have described perfect scenes of babies being snatched from the arms of their parents and thrown into fires.

One of the hundred twenty five i think groups and me and mark but unlike the others they are not recognized as such and are denied citizenship despite Historic Records of them in the country for the last two hundred years made more as the military consider them as Illegal Immigrants from bangladesh as a result they have none of the rights granted to citizens theyre not allowed to attend schools or receive care in state hospitals they can offer all the government jobs their movements are restricted. Mohamed says they live affectively in a part tate like conditions he was a School Teacher before joining the ranks of arson he taught to students who are discriminated against and refused entry to state schools mohammad believes this because of the dark color of their skin and because they are mostly muslims and hindus and non put this like the other ethnic groups there were haters are treated with such hate and so over the years many had already fled to bangladesh escaping persecution others remain displaced in iraq.

To kill only humoring will and money throughout our time where we are yet or one of us women out of Going Initiative and then about on my that they are in the international rethinking mine in. You know i had a few times i guess when i wrote my narrative. The group is led by this man. Born in exile in karachi pakistan he grew up in saudi arabia before moving back to the reckoning to head to movement there had been armed groups before but none as successful as arson the group was created after the two thousand and twelve reckoning state riots which started as a small dispute between dozens of ringing of muslims and local buddhists turned in matter of weeks into a nationwide crackdown against muslims in me in march regardless of their ethnicity in the right kind of non muslim rethinkers like hindus were also targeted thousands fled by boat to malaysia and indonesia. The then president chen sent suggested the resettlement of all of them abroad now in bangladesh among the ring of refugees are many hindus they to continue to flee the persecution they face in their homeland the militant group was first called keane meaning movement of face you change your name from kenya which was a muslim inspired organization to the. Salvation army why are you a religious based movement. And i mean well you dont really mind. When its one who will only. Run us only hope they know who. For the last sixty nine years meaning mars army is fighting eight insurgencies and what is best described as the worlds longest civil war unlike the other rebellions the fight against have unified the various other ethnic groups but as monks have made vitriolic speeches targeting ring of muslims. The matter of fact is they are not people from our country they are migrants and expand by breeding the tribe in our country. Buddhism is more than a religion its the nations identity monks are the moral authority with a return to democracy in two thousand and twelve came freedom of speech some but as months have used this new freedom to spread hate speech using social media they fear that the british fabric is under attack from muslims and running as the kofi annan report recommends the government to create much needed legislation against hate speech sixty six d. Is a law that makes defamation criminal its been used to jail journalists critical of the government not monks spreading hate among those targeting muslims are former Political Prisoners and members of the party the National League for democracy the celebrated Nobel Peace Prize laureate spent fifteen years in house arrest before being elected member of parliament. In the interview with al jazeera two thousand and thirteen she laid out her vision to read more and her focus on human rights the ranger being persecuted at the moment how do you feel about im not happy about it im not happy about the fact that there should be such tension in our country and also im unhappy about the fact that theres so much focus on these troubles that it is difficult for us to resolve them calmly and with so much attention focused on the tension in the violence the disagreements it is very difficult first to work out a peaceful and happy solution for all sides this is a great worry for us in this world today nothing can be sorted out peacefully because anything that happens anywhere becomes the focus of tremendous global attention and sometimes i think we do need a bit of quiet and a bit of space in which to resolve very very complicated problems would you like to help. I would like to help them cos i would like to help to achieve a situation in burma which we can be proud we we dont want to have to be explaining why certain things are happening in our country we want the world to be able to understand why theyre happening. She has been compared to Nelson Mandela for a long fight for democracy and to Mahatma Gandhi for but its inspired Nonviolent Movement although riggers are not allowed to vote they wholeheartedly supported her during her Election Campaign uncensored she was seen as the beacon of change. Hope she would finally recognize them as citizens i for one promise everybody who is living in the stump seat proper protection in from on the floor i think is important for the norms of human rights.

Peaceful child he was not violent toward us quiet and i think us often bullied by other children of his age because he was not the sort who usually fought back i think he chose to fight for independence because he thought then that theres no other way to achieve it and also because as a politician he was understood politician had good political sense even as a young man that seemed the right time for the bernese Independence Movement to make a big push forward in order that they may be able to get rid of continual but since his daughter took office their circumstances. Has dramatically deteriorated he still refuses to acknowledge them by name spokesmen for office prefer the term but gully which implies that there are Illegal Immigrants despite being born in me and more you supported and sang suchi now that she is the leader of me in mars do you still support her.

Be i dont want to provoke you know money ruin your whole you know how to get a good hanukkah now if you know that you are right to remove it i dont mean i dont mind if you dont want to go home i dont believe you are moving.

If something happens anywhere in the world aljazeera is in place were able to cover news like no other news organizations. Were able to do it properly. That is our strength. News has never been more available its a constant barrage that they put every day but the message is a simplistic you have been trained good logical rational person crazy monster and misinformation is rife dismissal and does not well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging Mainstream Media narratives at this time on aljazeera and then reported on the. Us and British Companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped Natural Resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to full dry river beds like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country have been truly unable to escape the war.
