India has declined to be a part of an international parliamentary conference's declaration that expressed concern over the ongoing violence in the Rakhine state of Myanmar.

Bangladesh was facing problems because of the way Myanmar government reacted to insurgency, said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has denounced the insurgents activities in the Myanmar's western Rakhine state but said the way of actions by Naypyidaw was also causing problem for neighbouring Bangladesh.

Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi said on Thursday her government was doing its best to protect everyone in the strife-torn state of Rakhine, as the estimated number of Rohingya Muslims who have fled to Bangladesh leapt by 18,000 in one day, to 164,000.

When the former UN chief Kofi Annan wrapped up his year-long probe into Myanmar's troubled northwest on August 24, he publicly warned that an excessive army response to violence would only make a simmering conflict between Rohingya insurgents and Myanmar security forces worse.

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi blames "terrorists" for "a huge iceberg of misinformation" on the violence in Rakhine state but makes no mention of the nearly 125,000 Rohingya Muslims who have fled over the border to Bangladesh since August 25.

More than 2,600 houses have been burned down in Rohingya-majority areas of Myanmar's northwest in the last week, the government says, in one of the deadliest bouts of violence involving the Muslim minority in decades.

The expression “apartheid”, according to the Oxford Dictionary, means racial segregation, especially in South Africa. I am not sure if apartheid has, in real terms...

Just a few kilometers from Bangladesh and Myanmar borders is the no-man’s land where thousands of Rohingya refugees have set up temporary shelter along the Tombru canal near the border point in Naikhyangchari upazila of Bandarban.

The beautiful sunny August morning in the beach town meant very little to the hundreds of starving men, women and children in worn-out clothes near the borders. They have fled their homes in Myanmar as security forces set their homes on fire, drive them away or simply shoot at them. Crossing the border to Bangladesh, they now want to find food and shelter.

One of the two Rohingyas, who sustained severe bullet injuries on Bangladesh-Myanmar border in Teknaf upazila of Cox's Bazar, succumbs to his injuries at Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH).
