A ten years old girl, Ma Athin Chay, 10, died on the spot. The bullets hit her head behind and went through the front.

Then one of the shells exploded near the family’s elder bother house. The splits of the shells hit the three children and the mother.

Daw Ma Aung Htwe told our information center, she took her children and ran to her elder brother house. Then the shell landed in her brother house.

United Nations and other international governments have called Myanmar government to restrain violence and respect international humanitarian laws. But the calls are end up on the buffalo ears.

More violence is predicted in rampage in Rakhine State since both sides, the government and Arakan Army, are not backing down for their end states: one side says “crush and clear” and the other say “greater autonomy.  

ASEAN should step up and mediate for peace and stability in Rakhine and in Myanmar as a whole and as parts of the ASEAN members while West and Europe ignoring the violence in Rakhine State.
