    Rakhine extremists burnt down Thardar village at 4 PM today. More than 250 houses were set on fire, and more than 1,150 people had to flee the village.

    Buddhist Rakhines also burnt down entire village named Kyait Taung at 4:15 PM today. M-Media learns that more than 170 houses were burnt and more than 1,000 people from the village are now on the run.

    A resident in Mrauk U, who is also on the run, told M-Media “Rakhine terrorists are getting worse and worse. They now target Muslims towards genocide. I see that they will turn against Burmese after Muslims. Rakhines want to establish their own independent country. If the government cannot control now, I am sure their next target will be the Burmese”.

    Muslims are having troubling communicating with people outside conflict areas as their communication has been blocked by the authorities.

    M-Media gathers information that the military has confiscated telephones owned by Muslims. According to M-Media’s local contact, some of the confiscated phone numbers include 09-421714097, 09-421735088, 09-421735059, and 09-421741859.

    Earlier today, Rakhines attacked and burnt down houses in Yaing Te village at 7 AM. Entire village was burnt to the ground. Rakhines beat up Muslims with sticks and chopped them with swords. Although the military came, it could not control the mob and therefore left the scene.

    In Yaing Te village, more than 100 houses were destroyed, and more than 100 Muslims have been killed. The exact number of missing persons are not yet available.

    Buddhist Rakhines burnt down six villages in Minpyar, according to a local resident from Minpyar.

    “Muslim villages named Pait Sit, Turali, Samli, Aungdai, Latma and another one have gone completely because Rakhine terrorists burnt them down. Pait Sit had 500 to 600 houses and 3 mosques. Entire village is gone now. In Turali, there were 700 to 800 houses and two mosques. That village was also burnt down completely. The military shot dead 3 Mawlawi (religious leaders) and 4 other persons. Two other villages, Samli and Aungdai, were burnt down since yesterday evening”

    The resident told M-Media, “Latma village is currently burning. It has more than 1,500 houses and 9 mosques. I had contact earlier [with the village], but I lost contact”. There are military units in those villages, but the army shoot if Muslims react. People have no where to go, so they can only run and hide in the forest”.

    M-Media learns that there are 14 villages in Minpyar. Out of 14 villages, six have been burnt down completely.

    Muslims’ homes in Mrauk U, Arakan state, are being burnt down since this morning.

    Buddhist Arakans have already burnt down houses in Purain village, which is a Muslim village with more than 1,200 houses and 8 mosques.

    More than half of the houses and a mosque were burnt to ground.

    A man and a woman were also killed today. There are more injured and death including children but exact numbers cannot be confirmed yet.

    At the moment of this interview, Buddhist Arakans have also started burning houses in Rantae and Zeeza villages. Rantae has more than 800 houses and four mosques, and Zeeza has about 800 houses and five mosques.

    Our local contact informs us that Arakans are now planning to attack Pipinyin village.

    “In Arakan state, there were more Muslims than Buddhist Rakhings before the conflict. Now there are only one third of the Muslim population left because of terrors and murders by Rakhings. I heard there are already one million Muslims who have escaped to Bangladesh. We are feeling sad and sorry. We heard they will attack the town of Kyautphy at noon. Please pray for us”, a local contact told M-Media in tears.
