Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, .....
John 8:44
"An extensive new report based on over 250 interviews with survivors and military personnel contradicts the Myanmar government's claims about the attacks on Rohingya communities and details how authorities trained neighboring civilian communities to attack the Rohingya in a genocide-like manner.
The onslaught caused over 700,000 Rohingya, to flee to neighboring Bangladesh in what was said to be the fastest refugee outflow since the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
The report reveals that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Myanmar military has committed genocide and crimes against humanity.
The new report is based off a 21-month investigation relying on 254 interviews with survivors, eyewitnesses, Myanmar military troops, police personnel, current and former members of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, humanitarian aid workers, doctors and others with knowledge of the situation.
"The authorities were effectively disarming Rohingya civilians while arming non-Rohingya civilians, basically training those communities to inflict violence on the Rohingya. They activated them on Aug. 25 and there were whole massacres," Smith said. "We also documented how authorities cut humanitarian aid in the weeks and months before Aug. 25. They cut food aid. There were at the time more than 80,000 children under the age of five who were suffering severe, acute malnutrition."
According to Smith, the Myanmar government was essentially "weakening" the Rohingyas before the massive attack against them." CP
