Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding the ongoing human crises in Burma

Latest reports suggest that savagery by the sectarian Buddhists in Burma against the Muslims of Rohingya is still ongoing. Women, children and the elderly are killed with machetes, swords, sticks and various other objects before being set on fire. This entire ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya Muslims is being carried out right under the noses of the Burmese government.

The people who have been exiled or forced to flee from their homes, ships packed with women and children are wondering in seas, travelling back and forth to the shores of regional countries however they have found no humanitarian sympathy where shelter is provided to these oppressed, sick and hungry human beings.

It is very regrettable that no reaction has been shown towards this continuous savagery in Burma by the United Nations, Islamic Conference, Humanitarian Societies and Women and Children Rights organization.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly condemns the ongoing brutalities and barbarism against the Muslims of Rohingya and asks the United Nations, Islamic Conference, regional countries, women, children and all human right organizations to break their silence regarding the humanitarian crises in Burma and to apply pressure on the Burmese government to immediately halt the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingyan Muslims and bring the criminals to justice.
