We Swear that We Always Say Truth

Conc erning the issue in Rakhine State, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Myanmar authorities to take three immediate steps. One of them is to end the security measures taken by security forces in northern Rakhine State. Here, it must be questioned as to whether UN Secretary-General Guterres will assure that further attacks of the ARSA extremist terrorists group will never take place in the region, for claiming that military operations be stopped. Evidently enough, he cannot do so.

The Secretary-General Guterres is obviously behaving as if it need not be included a hint of the atrocious deeds of the ARSA extremist terrorist in his speeches. It must be questioned to UN Secretary-General Guterres to show any kind of governments allowing terrorist attacks to its race or religion, in the world if ever. Every terrorist group always shouts aloud that they stand for their race and religion, but events happening around the world prove that they always perform for their personal benefits, on the wrong pretext of these claims.

Another urge made by Guterres is to allow unfettered access for humanitarian support. With regard to this, a question must be made to Guterres as to whether enthusiastic help of Myanmar Government is not needed for humanitarian aids to reach people really in need. And, it must also be questioned whether Guterres acknowledges that Myanmar is a sovereign state. It is only a matter of time before they will come to be well convinced that it will be a foolish attempt to make effort to solve the problem of Rakhine State with the Myanmar Government excluded.

Thirdly, Guterres called for Myanmar authorities to ensure the safe, voluntary, dignified and sustainable return of the refugees to their areas of origin. State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi had definitely disclosed that refugees would be accepted after careful scrutiny in accord with the principles included in the 1993 Myanmar-Bangladesh Agreement. Any sovereign nations do not accept any policy that anyone under the name of refugee will be accepted as citizen without any scrutiny. The statement that there was no one who illegally immigrated crossing the border line into Myanmar from Bangladesh would be a nonsense in the history.

Any countries and any governments will not exercise the kind of policy which will grant right of citizenship to every individual who illegally emigrates in this world. The government of the United States itself is making arrangements to expel illegal immigrants from Mexico from America. We have no alternative but to ask the global countries why they are doing opposite ways, in spite of the fact that State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is calling for all nations to co-operate with the Myanmar government.

In case someone claims that they know about Rakhine State problem more than Myanmar citizens, we will assert that the above-said person will be the one who says words of falsity shamelessly.
