What we're going to do is wipe out all of you are Buddhists' words to Muslims Ringya (Video/Photo)

Thousands of Muslims have sought a safe passage from two remote villages of Burma hampered by hostile Buddhists. Villagers feared that their homes would be burned and said they might die of hunger if the authorities did not help them escape. At least 430,000 Ringya have fled to Bangladesh in the middle [...]
At least 430,000 Ringya have fled to Bangladesh amid a campaign of violent persecution that the United Nations has called “the example of ethnic cleansing in school books”, the “The Independent” reported, transmits Periscopi.
“We'll be dead soon and they're threatening to burn our houses”.
Another Muslim Ringya, who asked not to be named, said ethnic Buddhists Rakhine came to the same village and shouted: “Ikni or we will kill you all”
About one million Roggya lived in Myanmar until the crisis began, but they endure systematic discrimination in a country where many Buddhists consider them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The majority of the Muslim minority face draconian travel restrictions and are denied citizenship.
Tin Maung Sie, secretary of the state government, said he had not received any information about the safe admission of the passage and claimed that south of Rathe Ashdowng, the district where the villages lived, it was “completely safe”.
There is nothing to worry about”, he added.
The US State Department's Eastern Asian Bureau urged “urgently” Burma Security Forces “to act in accordance with rule of law and to prevent violence and the displacement of individuals from all communities”.
“Tens of thousands of people are said to have no food, water and adequate housing in the northern state of Rakhin”, said spokeswoman Catina Adams.
The government must act immediately to help them”, she added.
Up to three weeks ago, there were 21 Muslim villages in Rathe Ashdowng, along with three camps for Muslims displaced from previous periods of religious violence. Sixteen of these villages and all three camps have been emptied and, in most cases, burned, forcing about 28,000 Ringya to flee.
All five remaining villages of Rathe Ashdown and their inhabitants of 8,000 inhabitants are surrounded by Rakhine Buddhists, human rights observers have said.
The situation is particularly terrible at Ah Nauk Pyin and near Naung Pin Gyi, where any escape route in Bangladesh is long, difficult and sometimes blocked by violent attacks.
Maung Maung, Rohingya's official, said villagers had decided to abandon their homes, but had no ships to escape, and authorities have not responded to their demands for security.

Maung Maung said he had called police at least 30 times to report threats against his village.
In a call on September 13th, heard in a record of “Reuters”, a man told him: “Ikin tomorrow or we'll come and burn all your houses”.
When Maung Maung protested that they could not escape, the man replied: “This is not our problem”
Instead of addressing Roggya's complaints, Rahledine officials handed over an ultimatum, according to Maung Maung and the other two Roingyas who participated in the meeting,” They said they did not want any Muslims in the region and we should leave immediately”, said a resident of Ringya from the village of Ahuk Pyin.

Ringeyat agreed, but only if authorities gave him security, Maung Maung said.
Ringya, who have fled Burma, also faces a growing humanitarian crisis, with aid agencies warning of food, water and housing shortages in refugee camps in Bangladesh.
A woman and two children were reportedly killed Sunday after being thrown off relief trucks.
