morning prayers at one of the most influential monasteries and for me and. this is a country where the majority are devoted buddhists. for centuries the religion has been at the heart of the nation's very identity. while the pillars of buddhist teachings are loving compassion and peace is a very different variation to the philosophy being told at the mob out tom on the street in insane township. these monks are connected with one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. the systematic persecution and genocide overhang of muslims in

iraq and states. our unprecedented access to them about how monastery and cedars offers a glimpse into how their ultra nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country. is the joining the forces between monks and generals threatening man was young and fragile democracy. but the beloved son who the film is when. we do the. listening saga could be up to the war who thought the olds who got the world will see nothing this will. be nothing the. 2 2 2 good of those it's only job is to really to muddy. the what the

the alliance. the alliance the line. our accounts take. 2 the persecution of range of muslims in myanmar can be traced back decades to the military takeover in 1962. many minorities suffered at the hands of the new dictatorship. the military ruled with an iron fist any form of dissent brutally stomped out. foxed monks believed to be the conscience of the governments and of the large majority of the people pressured leaders to adhere to buddhist principles. in boulder and by widespread public support the monks led the saffron revolution against the military in 2007 all united for democracy.

ringback. i'm not a bonding over there either they are living off of the list noble. goals are. a little harder all of you go to yahoo dot your own d.c.i. much as new a lot of. these emotional fairs are. the most noble model don't let my all muddled. in your head by mere. you know like they thought it started out as of this year me. first year i don't mind the time from the last one i knew would be my.

child on the wall but up on the toilet now almost another. old duffer of just the reverse i love. the man that did it and i not only made it. into a. fantasy that. this stereotype of but all i'm going to need now by myself will be a fabulous none what you don't die young boy. just what i. felt like cultists.

hallmarked an old song not all gone it might have gone a. 100 on the most work to model on my feet it all or your only will be. and i may thing about maury you know yes i gather. that. gambhir was released in 2012 together with other political prisoners including myanmar's current leader aung san suu kyi it marked the beginning of its transition to democracy. but as a religious tensions between buddhists and muslims minorities started to surface the unity of the saffron revolution shattered. i mean that all over in 2012 thousands of monks once again took to the streets this time they were shouting their support for the military and their call to export their orange.

you gumby it up openly oppose this movement it's still determined that democracy was the only way forward for me and mark. repeatedly imprisoned and ostracized for his views he finally fled to thailand in 2060. many in the me and mark believe the military still an important part of the governing structure intentionally fuel divisions amongst buddhist groups they quickly aligned with the most nationalistic buddhist leaders in hansing the army's popularity and influence. you know if you own. one them all found them not able to gunning we're told on a whole new theory about obama on the whole the got a. lot of the gun on the end of. the whole thing of it.

oh yes we have had no yet in. our money domino what. medical. mondi are you on. only. the hostility towards minorities them about time and ultranationalist monks organization. the name translates to the protection of race and religion. its founder and leader is a highly respected monk ashin to louka. so long and auto. when the need in the sun now to see the. sun on the dawn of one is of the. family that although.

i did see a lawyer who did your daughter one now go live with it do not let it come on. he doesn't know my good at the no one down there and i mean. it. may chill out at home. or by the done and by that dog. knows if it. knew what the going to tell you was homo to the. son not to log i visit i. said also have evolved at all. and olive wood and also have meat i was your dog was all let's have it in the to do that all that. i. i.

were. the roots of his extremism. especially the anti muslim i think it has a very long roots. muslims have been in a mall for centuries. things became more problematic with large scale immigration from the subcontinent because we see. in the past was those going in your mouth but they were in small numbers but under colonialism the british empire became to burma in large numbers of course that created problems. one of the remarkable things about the hunter period was that. he controlled by the authorities was very

strict and very strong so we had very little religious disturbances of course it was sort of pushed underground. but with the return of democracy and. a greater openness and of course at the same time manipulation it came out to reemerge on a much bigger scale. in politics there are 2 emotions which are very strong one is greed and the others fear. because we're under the military dictatorship 51 years and. then we have a civil war that's been raging between the central military and the ethnic on the organizations. so it's like.

an ending. continuous fear even educated people in your mass either or you see the inches they breed like cockroaches or insects and very soon. it will be full of was going religious and it was the buddhists will be swallowed so it's like we are defending our country our society and our religion it's very important it's a very strong message but totally wrong and it's quite frightening you know and that is the real danger of these extremist monks.

mobility. if you like to a man. yeah do their finale here my film there. are a lot of are there. is the 1st organization to inform. how to protest our country. our is. our country our ease. voters and is. peacemakers. where come in everyone. to our nation our country. ok. we doe as illegally migrant.

a fake fake. this is a fake. you know it is everybody says our humor rises humor right where it is a human judy where it is citizen judy. i want to ask them where is what is human judy. then there was then they never tell about them. they all will out the all out you mariah human right no human right is not that fast we have to understand human judy and citizen duty

if you are human beings. we're not animal. all of this. can be brought on free and. he got us all really bad we can all have that. the mayor hang him before us and we believe in. our discriminate and treat them like an animal by the. state was home to over a 1000000 raija muslims and over 2000000 buddhists before the conflict started in 2012. since then being mars government has banned all media and

n.g.o.s from accessing the conflict area. where most 2 hands are muslims now live in internally displaced camps. desperate and afraid. i want to hide my face and my identity because the government. to me to. speak out. when you are bad they come and. and the prosecutor. suddenly there was i remember several muslim football where rabbi time and grog tell me. all the time especially. after several days there are people in mosques and the police come in said the house on fire in on me. i was in my house and. i decided that myself i have to die because my belly

was wrong in. the room he insists that their community had nothing to do with this attack. many of me in mars' activists and journalists. believe that the rape and murder of the buddhist woman never happened. that it was a story made up to start the conflict and. hundreds of thousands were forced into i.d.p. camps or to flee the country most of them to refugee camps in neighboring bangladesh. into the lives of some of them that's going to. police all the sportswear had by them listening. at the time we are in there at the link. to the muslim people honduras south thousands of. people.

following the attacks me and mas armed forces led so-called clearance operations in iraq and states. by 2018 thousands of ranger muslims were killed and more than 700000 had fled to bangladesh. the situation for survivors is desperate. now i am going to 2 years from my feet here the current. heart of if i want to go into the union busting but i came up because i don't have i don't think that. i want to see. peace had been quite right in the country i once this is slightly.

what has happened in iraq kind what has happened to the ranger has been. really kind of an abysmal drop. the weight of a covenant and the ministry of the security forces handle things only made things worse. so that's one of the the biggest stains upon the new governments and on the country as a whole. and i really believe that things where either handled very badly all there are some i think. unscrupulous you know elements in it relating the situation from behind. countries who are transiting you know from an authoritarian system to a book open democratic system face

a lot of problems the politicians have to be prepared for that but you know i was not see. him on politics is dominated by just 2 parties one is the military spotty the u.s. d.p. and one is the national league for democracy. we thought that things would change just by having a democratic government you know and the party of sense e.g. going to get power so again you also disappointed in that regard. during her decades of struggle on house arrest and she was a nationally known democracy i kong and a harrowing recipient of many prizes she was repeating the mantra of human rights with every breath almost you know democracy human rights no rule of law not she says she doesn't even mention human rights anymore.

in the years following the suffering revolution me and marcella break into its 1st democratic government. but with the military still in power many of the dreams to have true democracy evaporate. and me and mars leaders stand accused of genocide. i had 3 jobs and now i only have one but i'm soo providing for my family. and the 1st time i was admitted to hospital i didn't show any signs of imus. come or that but at about my opinion and i have become very positive and stop thinking about the negative sides before i'm just going to get on al-jazeera. he is from the us living with an axe in egypt take the worst possible material you

hear grinding into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into a place where people live there is a cause colossal bad idea as well and so many people are thinking this is the silent heat. but does it make you feel nice you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous amount of mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city on al-jazeera this underwater treasure is a risk of disappearing jews a coral bleaching caused by rising temperatures when we think about the great bear it gives a strain the area that cultural 'd heritage is iconic and the tourism industry based band says we will lose instantly if we have another bleaching event of these magnitude if this continues is just well know the opportunity for the currents to recover in that way in a mad scientists

and i told we did. a good in movies you will see what we see do you know why do we think it. through all the mojo no do do are not just given the how to do just i don't know what i've been told libya but i get it. i know the body to somebody. why do you feel for these going. on in it. and don't worry about it. all of them that will probably do the markets or what you will. do will be few woman or lower level how much as in it will be i was doing them i didn't need. to bore you but when. you don't have it. in the broader picture it's like like you know separate division

amongst can stage massive protests and bring the population on to this site which the government in power really feared and mr governor. really clamp down on that so if them were treated. very good to. see. you can also use monks for your own purpose you know. for very negative. and sent objectives back to devolve to see the monks are a force that can be used. the n.l.e. government doesn't view of the very favor of the western sector so the monks and the military entered into this kind of unholy alliance.

claims. there is no denying the reverence for them about our leader during his visit to current state. his devoted followers worship the ultranationalist monks along the way. place a crowd of fervent followers is also waiting to receive his speech. class. class. i. i. i. i

i. i i i i i i i you know i. yeah. yeah. oh yeah yeah. yeah i knew. he had a 1000000 little. good. luck to you.

i love you live good. lives. here. live here. live. i. got.

friends and. i was born and maturity but i think it's. because. our community. i need to admit that i was privilege being a military daughter i'm powerful even my step is powerful whatever i go out i got favor i can do whatever i want if i want to use in my father's power. so everything is privilege and everything is just a fine you dissolve this privilege because you are british just because you do something good in your purse life.

of course we have clashes even inside the family they don't agree they asked me to stop saying that words against the military because they are that all people if i cause or if i'm playing to the old people i would be in hell in the future. so when i exposed to the different wars when i exported different stories so they gave me new insights that i need to really stand on using my model as the majority ethnicity and majority religions to define and those were all press. so regarding the range of prices i feel a huge. burden because that's not just the room and rakhine crisis is the nation of crisis it's not just a nation a crisis a global crisis right now. but why that to have the need because the fear.

that the politicians know that if you make people fear for something like the a religion has become sensitive it again easier to create a conflict so it's become like us and politic or we are playing games using that religion and nationality and i didn't cut. the minister of religion he was actually from military that means he's going to have some kind of similar ideologue. just like mob that recruit that by and l.t. you get but it is so his it makes the stretcher that he is walking and as a ministry all religion only for boredom. this town and current state in the south east of me and more is restricted to foreigners and muslims forbidden.

the normal immunity he gave. so much to achieve and we go. to live at home i would know by that off he not going on here and he. have to go to id have they go. by they will go to rome or not it's a mile. deep down in the misery and no one a danger to the one now don't know the one named it. but he doesn't know it being in your. life. and they are a that was all valid it was idea to light it no good. only on a weird name i would design muscle did it i did so when i do know i doubt he will. so i do cause only would it. be i dunno then that this us on the this or that one

your dentist. dead beat up. today monks from across the country along with thousands of devoted these have come to pay their last respects at the funeral of $1.00 of the region's most influential religious leaders political figures and other public personalities attend the event where the my bow ties leader is given a position of prestige an offer. dorothy. on this trip scores of heavily armed soldiers accompany him. deep down in him as a villain and then you're doing your. job one name is that it. will table 1. 1000000.

teenage damian a deal. where. all those stayed in it up the tinning then that end of it is in. the myanmar minister of religion is at great pains to justify his government's policies regarding the range of prices to them. explaining that any concessions were enacted reluctantly. got. off by me. and my. 5. by the. way and. i'll hold onto it

oh yes a lot. of. our own did you buy. the whole go go go go hog. they started off to get a lot of signatures on a petition. supporting. public all the. interfaith marriage laws and they call them support. huge never and i think this was a way of trying to test the waters. this happens in democracies now.

so in the past it was the power of the gun and now it is the power of the vote and the legislature is really dominated by the u.s. to be party a. bus those walls. and so of our group in st. you know 2015 elections. really tried to play a political role. and to explain that we are to he has visited sri lanka many times and i think his aim and his role model are the monks and nuns at the park that are going to. and according to the new 3 like an institution. that is a party composed of buddhist monks is committed and then they also entered the election and got elected. monks in sri lanka

because of the general emergency. the buddhist monks became very active in politics the same thing is repeated in your mind the political role the nationalist role and the colonial role you know. present. but i would say sri lanka was peds in politics so militant monsters excuse monks in yemen now look at sri lanka as a kind of a role model. so that the new power doesn't exist anymore you know the dish are gone so they have to find something. and they say that the same thing for the ministry they need and a means to justify their big budgets you know and their existence. there is the love evidence that made public that the military was supporting them about the them

and the other is flush with cash but lots of money. who were to loot is also because adding $0.05 for the guidance they say that you have to prepare yourself for the next elections. so in 2015 they were actually backing this set of candidates for election i think they will do the same thing in 2020 but on the biggest cayle. i really doubt any. doubt any. do the next time. i am. and i. call stop result i got was not possible.

we fall river roya and build on the 7th because all its awful revolution against a military system everybody won the freedom everybody round in my right everybody want democracy. one day the military army come and shoot

a lot of people on the street i visit scary we go i never saw we kill each other from me. i ve so sucked and i v so angry and same time. after that what can we do we have no power here nor up on are about the news that uses can speak out to use power to fight in fact we can screaming for the human right. person is why. one should do among job. losses. mostly who hate islam be better is there. no other for me the fuss is. this is not religion this is a politics. religion. i

don't understand the policy. i only understand about humanity i cannot change the war i cannot change even my gun tree i'm going to think my stuff around me as this . revolution cannot exist without love allusion with the lead this minute violent i would also are losing you cannot see changing because somebody who's in is ha must like you in this time. which is not of the day or anything at all and that what it may just be noted it. being idealists you know. only. one of you know john one another you know you're going to. hit the. sand out of

anonymity double. the money and i. doubt it would you like. the protection of buddhism and the current government inspired devotion among many of me and most people. but there are voices challenging the status quo there is an emerging dissenting youth movement calling for another revolution. for authorities it presents a new challenge. for others who say they want to preserve myanmar's fledgling democracy it offers avoid. it's of. dad was always feared the youths you know who brought you ideas new concepts and who confronted with conservative people always.

tend to have a slim eyes to where the projects like the voice of the news. we bring people together from different communities different religious backgrounds from music. so you know it is clearly that. they don't know want to see any more conflicts they want to be together they want to be peaceful they want to be developed you know they want to catch up with the war and they want to. you know they want to celebrate this freedom. so our job is to you know let them be aware of. i how they can influence the future. the future of that. i will not say you have freedom of expression now. now we can see what i would want

but it doesn't mean they would not risk. feeling me. in just a new outfit by the same doc and since i. was out. thank. you are we we. feel you feel you and. me feel.

you are. going to. meet me a few. feet away. from me i feel. we. meet. we. feel. we. feel we've. moved. i'm not ready.
