A shocking letter from a Muslim of Roingaya writes about the horrors mankind has not yet known

A letter from Ringya:

During the 24 years of my life, I was a prisoner, in this prison in the open sky in the state of Rakhina, reported “Al Jazeera”, the Periscope broadcast.

I was born in Myanmar, as was my parents, but our citizenship was lifted before I came to life.

My movement, education, access to health and career care has been limited because of my ethnic affiliation.

I'm forbidden from working in government. I have been forbidden to pursue higher education. I haven't been able to visit the capital, Yango, even live in the northern state of Rakhina.

I've been subjected to the worst form of discrimination, all because I'm a rakhinas Muslim.

For years, my people who were denied the most basic rights were killed every day. The rest are homeless. Our homes were flat before our eyes. We are victims of a brutal state.

So you understand, I'm using an analogy: Imagine a mouse stuck in a cage with a hungry cat. Our only method of survival is to escape or hope that someone will help us. For some of us who have stayed there, they have become a systematic campaign to separate us from the vast Rakhinas community.

We are named “Callar” which means a fucking people. Whether you are a child or an old person, no one escapes abuse. When Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, won parliamentary elections in 2015, we had high expectations that would change something.

We had faith that this woman was a sign of democracy that would prevent abuse and depression. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that not only would it not be our voice, but it would ignore our suffering. After all, we were disappointed.

In 2012 a large number of the Rakhinas had been killed by a terrible explosion. About 140,000 were displaced. An event that was repeated in 2016.

Now our mothers and sisters give birth to their children in the fields, as we leave this constant violence, which you say is between the two sides equal. But it's not.

Children and women are killed, and the rivers are full of their bodies, so it is not an equal war. We are facing our disappearance and no international community is on our side, with one of the most persecuted peoples in the world. We are facing genocide, and you will all be witnesses to this./Periscopi/
