The helpless Kokang rebels
China has warned Myanmar of dire consequence if case of bombing inside the Chinese territory while hunting the Kokang rebels. The Chinese Premier issued a statement on Monday, accusing the Rangoon government of violating international law. He asked Rangoon to show restraint or to face Chinese thrust.
In this connection, we like to say that the Muslims in both China and Myanmar are in the worst state. The Rohingya Muslims have been stripped of all human rights and the nationality. Not only that, the fanatic Buddhists are killing, crippling, burning houses and shops and raping Muslim women freely. The Myanmar Police and the government take no action. They are being pushed to Bangladesh. The world is a silent spectator.
In China, the State has banned fasting, Namaj and all other religious rituals for office employees and students. The Imams are forced to take part in the dance programme. Neither the UNO nor the OIC speaks against the Chinese government.
In this situation, we request the USA to protect the Muslims of those two countries.
