The shocking story of a young woman in Myanmar tells of her country's murder and burning

My name is Rashid, and I am 25 years old. Before the Arabian revolution, I had a very quiet and modest life. We had several fields that we worked hard at, we cultivated them, and I also had a home where we lived with our husband and three children. The situation at the time was peaceful and we were happy until the crisis arrived, Alzeera” reported, broadcasting Periscopi.

We left everything behind now. Our houses and fields are burned so we can't win anything there anymore.

When the army started shooting at our village, we soon sent my children into the jungle and hid them; they were afraid of the wild attacks. But when I returned to search my home, many people appeared in front of my eyes.

From the jungle, we walked for eight days until we reached the border. We were very hungry and had nothing to eat except trees. My three children wanted food, but we had nothing to feed them.

We crossed a small boat, it was very dangerous, and I thought it would sink, so I held my children tight.

I'm not happy in Bangladesh, we've had some animals, four acres of land we've worked on, a house and we had a good village in our country. We've left all those behind, so I'm sure you can imagine how sad I feel at the moment.

I miss our house. We feel hopeless here, I have no idea what our future will be.

We're not getting enough support here. The people of Bangladesh are very kind, they donate clothes and food, but I've never seen an international organization in this country. I hope they help us, we need food to eat.

My message to the outside world is that we want peace; we have no future without peace.

Mianmar's Roingaya State

Some 270,000 people, mostly women and children, have fled to Bangladesh for the past two weeks as a result of indiscriminately violence against the civilian population committed by the Myanmar army.

The UN organisation and other human rights organisations have warned that mass ecstasy following killings, rapes and burned villages are signs of “ethnic cleansing”, urging the international community to pressure Aung San Suu Kyi and her government to end violence./Periscopi/
