ميانمار: الغرب يتخلى عن الضغط على ميانمار لوقف إبادة المسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكد الدكتور "كيفين باريت" - عضو التحالف الإسلامي النصراني اليهودي المدني - أن الحكومات الغربية تخلت عن القيام بدورها والضغط على حكومة "ميانمار" لوقف الكارثة الإنسانية التي يتعرض لها المسلمون الروهنجيا، والتي أدت إلى انخفاض نسبة المسلمين بالدولة بسبب القتل والتهجير والإهمال، والقمع المستمر منذ عام 1948.

وأكد أن "الولايات المتحدة" قامت بتحسين العلاقات مع حكومة "ميانمار" في الوقت الذي يتعرض فيه المسلمون لديها لتطهير عرقي، مؤكدًا أن حقوق الإنسان التي ينادي بها الغرب أداة لتحقيق المصالح السياسية الجغرافية الإستراتيجية وليست لصالح البشرية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

West will never pressure Myanmar over Muslim genocide: Dr. Kevin Barrett

A political analyst says the international community and particularly the West has not pressured the government in Myanmar to stop the violence and to stop this genocide or ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people.

The comments came after the UN refugee agency warned of a “humanitarian catastrophe” in Myanmar as the country’s displaced Rohingya Muslims face the threat of monsoon floods. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Friday said it is “seriously concerned about the risks facing over 60,000 displaced people in flood-prone areas and in makeshift shelters.” Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar account for about five percent of the country’s population of nearly 60 million. They have been persecuted and faced torture, neglect, and repression since the country's independence in 1948.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Kevin Barrett, from the Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance, to further discuss the issue. What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.

And I think the answer is in this particular situation, the West and particularly the USA has opened up good relations with the Myanmar government just at the moment that the Myanmar government has started to commit and countenance genocide on its territory.

And the US is basically playing a geo-strategic game, is trying to take Myanmar out of the orbit of China and place it more firmly into the Western orbit. The US is deluging Myanmar with representatives trying to establish more trade ties, more business relationships, the money is flowing more than ever and rather than use the pressure and the leverage that they certainly do have to stop these very, very large scale abuses and this horrible suffering of the Rohingya ethnic cleansing victims.

The US and to some extent even the international human rights community have tended to downplay it and ignore it. So this is just another example of the hypocrisy of the way Western countries especially the US use human rights more as a tool of their foreign policy in their geo-strategic objectives rather than out of concern for humanity.
