The Rohingya Exodus From Myanmar Continues To Climb As Reports Of Massacres By Myanmar Forces Increases



Daily Mail/AFP: Satellite images show 700 homes burned down in a single Muslim village amid claims Burmese Army is covering up massacres as more than 100,000 Rohingya people flee violence

* Cashes between Muslim minority and Buddhists in west Burma
* Some 87,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh in ten days
* Another 20,000 are waiting at the border, according to United Nations

These satellite images show an entire village burned to the ground during the recent violence in Burma, allegedly carried out by Burmese government forces to cover up massacres of the local Muslim minority.

Last week, the Rohingya Muslim village of Chein Khar Li in Rakhine state, north Burma, was made up of some 700 homes - now it is reduced to ashes.

A local human rights group claims villages in Rakhine are being burned to cover up mass slaughter of Rohingya.

The latest clashes started just ten days ago, and has so far forced 100,000 Rohingya to flee their homes for neighbouring Bangladesh.
