Rohingya villages burned down by Burma's army (HRW)
Fears are growing that Burma's army is conducting a scorched earth
attack on Rohingya Muslims in northern Rakhine state, in revenge for
the killing of nine army border guards in October by 20 militants.
Those attacks are believed to be in revenge for massive rounds of
Buddhist attacks on Rohingya Muslims in 2012, including murders,
rapes, and burning down villages, and for plans announced earlier this
year by the government to demolish 12 mosques and 35 madrasas
(religious schools) in Rakhine State because they had been built
without permission.
Now satellite images published by Human Rights Watch show that
Rohingya Muslim villages are again being burned down, but this time by
the army. They troops had been sent to the region to prevent further
violence, but instead they're conducting further violence. Over 430
buildings have been burned down.
Burma's government is denying that the troops had anything to do with
the violence, and suggested that the Rohingyas had burned down their
own homes to embarrass the government, a claim that's considered
laughable. Burma's government is adamantly refusing to allow
reporters or investigators into the area to determine what really
happened.
Violence grew over the weekend increased as soldiers killed dozens of
Rohingyas, and forced hundreds from their homes into already
overcrowded camps.
Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar (Burma) had lived there for generations
have been slaughtered and driven from their homes by Buddhists led by
Buddhist monk Ashin Wirathu. The Rohingyas, described by the United
Nations as "the most persecuted ethnic group in the world," are not
even recognized as Rohingyas by Burma's government, who refer to them
as Bangladeshis.
Following the massive attacks on Rohingyas by Buddhists, led by
Buddhist monks, we're seeing tit-for-tat increases of violence on both
sides. With Myanmar in a generational Crisis era, this is the kind of
violence that leads to civil war. Human Rights Watch and Radio Free Asia and Frontier Myanmar

**** Syria and Russia resume bombings of women and children in Aleppo
****
Staffan de Mistura, the United Nations envoy for Syria, there are
275,000 people living in east Aleppo, but only about 1,000 of them
members of Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Nusra Front) which recently renamed
itself Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS) when it cut its ties to al-Qaeda.
But now the long-expected assault on east Aleppo is finally beginning,
with the apparent objective of killing as many of the 275,000 people
as possible. The new Russian naval war group, led by the Admiral
Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which has just arrived in at the coast of
Syria, launched its first attacks today, sending warplanes and cruise
missiles to east Aleppo, Homs and Idlib, while Syrian regime warplanes
also pound Aleppo.
Syria's president Bashar al-Assad has been widely condemned in the
West as a war criminal, barrel bombs, Sarin gas, chlorine, ammonia,
phosphorous, and other weapons on hospitals, schools and markets with
no military objective except to kill as many innocent women and
children as possible. Al-Assad continues in the delusional view that
this will cause the residents to throw down their weapons and
surrender, something that will never happen in Syria's generational
Awakening era. AP and VOA
