Second
part is an article written by Tin Win Myint a Yakhine Buddhist journalist explaining why
his people are really angry at MSF for their taking side of the Bengali Muslims
illegally entering Arkan State and grabbing the traditional lands and fishing
grounds of Native Yakhine Buddhists after slaughtering the native Buddhists.

Charity Says Threats Foil Medical Aid in Myanmar
BANGKOK —
Radical Buddhist groups are preventing doctors from delivering assistance to
areas of western Myanmar affected by intense sectarian violence, an
international medical charity said Monday.
The
group, Doctors Without Borders, reported that many of its local staff members
were afraid to work at refugee camps and medical centers in Rakhine State,
where people wounded in clashes need treatment for wounds from guns, knives,
arrows and other weapons.
“I’ve never experienced this degree of intolerance,” Joe Belliveau, the operations manager for Doctors Without Borders, said by telephone. “What we really need is for people to understand that giving medical aid is not a political act.”

The
initial fury was focused on the Rohingya, a Muslim minority widely reviled in
Myanmar and a large segment of the population in Rakhine, an impoverished state
bordering Bangladesh. But now members of at least one other group, Kaman
Muslims, have been forced from their homes, raising concerns that the violence
could spread to other parts of Myanmar, where Muslims make up about 4 percent
of the population.
The
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has reported the
widespread deployment of Myanmar security forces in Rakhine State, but also
widespread fear there. “Our staff spoke to displaced people who shared their
fears of being attacked again if the troops leave,” a spokesman for the office,
Adrian Edwards, said in a press briefing on Friday.
Aid
workers have reported severe malnutrition among children and widespread
malaria. “There’s a huge group of people who have not been displaced but are
cut off from health care,” Mr. Belliveau said.
But he
said that posters and pamphlets threatening aid workers who treat Muslims were
being distributed in Sittwe, the largest city in Rakhine, and that staffing in
the area had been reduced to a few dozen people, from around 300 before the
June violence. “Our own staff are simply scared and unwilling to work after
receiving direct threats,” Mr. Belliveau said.
The
difficulties facing international agencies in Rakhine underline the instability
of the area — and the potential for further violence despite the security
forces. Many of Myanmar’s ethnic groups are restive, presenting challenges for
President Thein Sein as he leads the country out of decades of military
dictatorship that justified its repressive grip in part by citing ethnic
insurgencies.
MSF-Holland (or) AZG. |
Particularly the organization
helping the Bengali Muslims who have been reinventing themselves as so-called
Rohingyas and trying to establish Rohingya Islamic State out of our Yakhine
land by using their human rights as a cover.
That organization is very
well known inside Burma and all over the world and its name is MSF-Holland or
Doctors Without Borders or AZG – Artsen Zonder Grenzen.
MSF-Holland or AZG has its
country office for Burma in Rangoon on Bawdhi-Yeikthar Street of Kamaryut
Township. The head of mission is Mr. Peter Paul and it has twelve senior
decision makers but the final decision is always made by Mr. Paul. The twelve
senior staff are as follows,
1.
Peter Paul – Head of Mission,
2.
Vickie – Deputy Head of Mission,
3.
Sharon – Finance Coordinator (Peter Paul’s wife),
4.
Gerrie – Human Resources Coordinator,
5.
Maria Guevara – Medical Coordinator,
6.
Dr. Khin Nyein Chan – Deputy Medical Coordinator,
7.
Habtamu – Logistic Coordinator,
8.
Tom – Rangoon Project Coordinator,
9.
Pawan – Northern Arakan Project Coordinator (Butheedaung &
Maungdaw),
10.
Tina – Eastern Arakan Project Coordinator (Sittwe),
11.
Iqbal Huda (Tidal) – Kachin State Project Coordinator, and
12.
Nikita – Shan State Project Coordinator.
One thing not normal about
the whole senior staff structure of MSF is there is only one Burmese national
among its senior staff. What I meant is
no Burmese national is holding important position in MSF.
All the Coordinators and
Project Coordinators are heads of the respective departments of MSF and reporting
to the Head and Deputy Head of Mission. The Head of Mission Peter Paul is a
Dutch national and he controls all departments and projects except two sensitive
projects in Arakan.
Vickie the Deputy Head of
Mission an English national is directly appointed by MSF’s Holland headquarters
to handle the political affairs in Burma and her academic background was International
Affairs and Politics. And she strictly controls two projects in Arakan State.
There is another important
person in MSF-Holland who is actively involving in promoting the Rohingya
cause. Her name is Jena and she sits at the MSF’s Thailand Office and
responsible solely for gathering and relaying the bad news about Rohingyas (the
Bengali Muslims on Burma-Bangladesh border) to the world.
She was previously the MSF’s
Project Coordinator of Northern Arakan Project (Butheedaun and Maungdaw) and
she regularly visits Butheedaung-Maungdaw area to collect Rohingya information
under the disguise of collecting health statistics in that troubled region. She
last visited there in November 2011.
MSF-Holland has entered the Sittwe
and Butheedaung-Maungdaw area since 2004 and following are their officially
stated Health Activities in Arakan State of Burma.
1.
Primary Health Care,
2.
Reproductive Health Care,
3.
HIV/AIDS Program & Antiretroviral Therapy Program,
4.
Sexually Transmitted Disease Program,
5.
Tuberculosis Program, and
6.
Malaria Program.
Primarily in northern Arakan
MSF has employed and trained local Bengali Muslims as primary health care
workers and through them MSF has collected basic health statistics and also whatever
information they desire.

The collected information are
recorded as original documents and the written documents are submitted to the
MSF Project Coordinators for their approval and once approved the documents are
entered into the computer files and the digital files are sent to the Rangoon
office and then the Thailand office and finally to the MSF headquarters.
To protect absolute secrecy
the handful of Burmese or Buddhist staff working for MSF in Burma are never
allowed to attend the weekly meetings attended only by MSF foreigners and their
trusted Bengali-Muslim supervisors.
MSF senior staffers trust especially
the English-speaking Bengali or Burmese Muslim Translators. One of their main
tasks is to conduct so-called Exit Interviews with the Muslim patients discharged
from the hospitals in Burma. MSF is so eager to record and report the so-called
discriminatory treatments Muslims received in the hands of Burmese Buddhist
doctors and nurses working in the public hospitals of Burma.

Yakhine Refugees' Refusal Letter to Accept All Foreign Aids
(By All Yakhine Native Refugee Committees: Published on 14 July 2012)
All Yakhine Refugee Committees' Letter Stating to Refuse International Aids. |
1. We stand behind our President and we wholeheartedly support his clear statement and his firm standing on illegal Bengali Muslims during the meeting with the head of UNHCR.
2. According to the Year 2000 Millenium statement issued by the United Nations the UN itself and any other INGOs are to respect the sovereignty of any country, and strictly follow the local laws dealing with peace, security, law & order, international terrorism, and armed insurgencies.
3. But here in Arakan the UN agencies and INGOs have been completely neglecting us native Yakhine Buddhists who are fully eligible for international aids, and one-sidedly supported only the so-called Rohigyas who actually are illegal Bengali Muslims. The direct outcome of their discriminatory actions was 2012 June Muslim Riots when so many of us native Yakhine Buddhists were killed and their properties destroyed by the terrorist Bengali Muslims.
4. Thus we Yakhine Buddhists will be totally refusing the ineffective small aids given by the UN and INGOs.
