[ti:The Forgotten Rohingya] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:00.04]More than 700,000 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh two years ago. [00:08.12]They escaped military attacks in Myanmar. [00:12.08]The country's armed forces were burning Rohingya villages, [00:18.52]killing members of the communities and raping women and children. [00:25.32]The United Nations called the military campaign "genocide." [00:31.48]The world community reacted with aid and shelters for the stateless refugees [00:38.74]in and around Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, Myanmar's neighbor. [00:46.48]However, about 128,000 Rohingya and other displaced Muslims [00:54.51]remain in the northern Rakhine State of Myanmar. [00:59.52]They are kept in camps in Sittwe. [01:03.15]They are the forgotten ones. [01:06.92]The government of Myanmar has blocked human rights groups and the press [01:13.07]from entering the camps to investigate reported human rights abuses. [01:19.23]VOA was able to speak to some people inside the camps. [01:26.32]Maw Mura is a 37-year-old Rohingya woman in Sittwe. [01:32.19]She told VOA, "Living in the camp is like living in a prison or a chicken coop, [01:40.53]it's not appropriate for teenagers, married parents and elders to live inside a small room." [01:51.04]Maw Mura has lived for seven years behind the sharp wire fences that surround the camps. [02:00.35]She went there after armed local Buddhists burned down her house and village in 2012. [02:10.04]A few months after arriving, Maw Mura's husband died, leaving her to raise their children alone. [02:19.76]Her movement is restricted. [02:22.44]She and her children share a one-room metal and wood shelter with another family. [02:31.08]"I want to go home," Maw Mura told VOA. [02:36.48]The Myanmar government has begun building new housing nearby in order to "close" the camps. [02:44.84]But to date, no Rohingya has been permitted to leave the area. [02:51.52]Dr. Win Myat Aye is Myanmar's Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement. [03:00.00]He says the Myanmar government is acting on a report made [03:05.80]by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to bring peace back to Rakhine State. [03:14.44]But human rights groups say the government is only acting on [03:19.40]some of the advisements listed in the report. [03:23.88]And the Rohingya are being denied their most urgent request: citizenship. [03:32.12]Without a citizenship card, they cannot receive health care and education, [03:37.82]open a business or return home. [03:43.28]Mohammad Noor also has lived inside the camps since 2012. [03:49.57]He said, "It's not OK to create a different kind of camp. [03:55.91]Unless we are resettled in our original places, we will be separated forever." [04:03.76]He compared the situation to that of Israel and the Palestinians. [04:09.65]He said the groups were separated to benefit the Israeli government and powerful people. [04:18.68]Hla Hla is a mother of two children in the camp at Sittwe. [04:24.04]She simply said, "We want to have a similar life again [04:29.46]where our children have education and we have job opportunities." [04:35.72]I'm Caty Weaver. [04:37.04]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
