9:16 am
root of this extremism. especially the anti muslim i think it has a very long roots. muslims have been in amman for centuries. things became more problematic with large scale immigration from the subcontinent because we see. in the past was those who are in their mob but they were in small numbers but under colonialism the british empire became too burma in large numbers of course that created problems. one of the remarkable things about the want to be really was that. controlled by the
9:17 am
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 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 are 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 organizations. so it's like.
9:18 am
an ending. continuous fear. even educated people in your ma say that all you see the images they breed like cockroaches or insects and very soon you're having state will be full of was going religious and it was the buddhist will be swallowed so it's like we are defending our country our society and our religion so it's very important it's a very strong message but totally wrong and it's quite frightening. and that is the real danger of these extremist monks.
9:19 am
9:20 am
discover man don't laugh me. i'm no happy. government must be more care i was minimum people than. the number because we have family they are different to strangers ok. the. the. growing fake news and. we are. pushing communities never attacked and never fight in different fee for different countries you can see the. world history. you can see wars history.
9:21 am
this is a prank this is a fake fake. this is a fake. you know it in the everybody says are humor arises humor right where is a human judy where is citizen judy. i want to ask them where is what is human judy. then there was then that they never tell about them. they all will out they all will out human rights human right no human right is not that fast we have to understand human judy and citizen to d.
9:22 am
if you are human beings. we are no animal. all of this. can be brought on free and. he got us all really bad we can all have that. they're hanging him before us and we believe in islam people are discriminated and treated like animals by the. state was home to over a 1000000 raija muslims and over 2000000 buddhists before the conflict started in 2012. since then being modest government has banned all media and n.g.o.s from accessing the conflict area. where most ranger muslims now live in
9:23 am
internally displaced camps. desperate and afraid. i want to hide my face and my identity but the government. to speak out. when you are bad they come and. and the prosecutor. suddenly there was a remember several. time. in 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. i decided that myself i have to because my belly was
9:24 am
wrong. there he insists that their community had nothing to do with this attack. many of me in mars' activists and journalists. believed 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. some of them that's going to the fact. police sportswear had by them listening. at the time we're. at the. honduras south thousands of. people.
9:25 am
following the attacks myanmar's armed forces led so-called clearance operations in iraq and state. 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 22 years from. the current. horrible if i want to. but i can. because i don't have i don't think that. i want to see. peace have been equal right. i want this is slightly.
9:26 am
what has happened in iraq what has happened to the roof. 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 biggest stains on the new government and on the country as a whole. and i really believe that things where either handled very badly all there are. i think. unscrupulous you know elements but if you're leading 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 if i was not.
9:27 am
them all politics is dominated by just 2 parties one is the military spotted they used to be 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 a sense e.g. going to get power so again you also disappointed in that regard. during her decades of struggle to house arrest and she was a nationally known democracy i kong harrowing recipient of any prizes she was repeating the mantra of human rights with every breath almost no democracy human rights no rule of law no she says she doesn't even mention human rights anymore. in the years following the
9:28 am
suffering revolution in marcella brayton 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. which is the rise here to. report on the people often ignored but who must be hurt how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas of course we cover major global offense but our passion lies and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like dallas via the young man the sahara legion and so many others to go to them making efforts we care instead. to scarcity
9:29 am

9:34 am
bore you with the burning of. your favorites. in the broad picture. like in a separate division amongst an stage massive protests and bring the population on to this site which the government in power really feared and the bitter gov. really clamp down on it so if them were treated. very new to. this ng. you can also use monks for your own purpose you know. for very negative. and sent objectives back to democracy the monks are a force that can be used. the n.l.e. government doesn't feel good about that very favor of the u.s.
9:35 am
troops so the monks and the military they 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 the way. last a crowd of fervent followers is also waiting to receive his speech. class. class.

9:37 am
9:38 am
9:39 am
my father's power. so everything is privilege and everything is just define you dissolve this privilege because you are british just because you do something good in your purse life. of course we have questions 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 help in the future. so when i exposed to the different wars when i exported different stories so they gave me a new insights that i need to really stand on using my model as the majority ethnicity a 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
9:40 am
crisis is that nation a crisis is not just a nation a crisis a global crisis right now. but why that to happen me 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. out all of it the minister of religion he was actually from military that means he got to have some kind of similar ideologue to dislike mob out that are bad to recruit that by and l.t. you know but. they make the stretcher that he is walking and as their ministry all religion only for. this town
9:41 am
and current state in the south east of me and more is restricted to foreigners and muslims forbidden. so money which a family go. to live at home i would know by. the. only. 2 of the they go. by the. same are. detained in the misery and no one a day. and i want to go one night at. least i know it being in your. life. and they are
9:42 am

9:43 am
1000000 above your. teenager did a minute. and he got. all those a d.n.a. and the tinning going on in then and of his in. the me i'm our minister of religion is at great pains to justify his government's policies regarding the range of prices to the leader explaining that any concessions were enacted reluctantly. got. off. me. and my. 5.
9:44 am
9:45 am
interfaith marriage laws and think of them support. huge never and i think this was a way of trying to test the waters. this happens in the offices 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. past those walls. and so all of us are. in st. you know 2015 elections. really tried to play political role. and to explain that we are to he has visited sri lanka many times and i think it is a game and his role model of the monks not sit at the park but i kind of.
9:46 am
and according to the new constitution. political party composed of what is monks is permitted and then they also enter 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. 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 militia are gone so they have to find something. and. they say that the same
9:47 am
thing for them their military they need evidence to justify their big budgets and their existence. is the love evidence that made public that the military was supporting them about them. and the law is flush with cash but lots of money. who are to loot is also because adding findings for which the budgets say that you have to prepare yourself for the next elections. so it really should be in there where i can be backing this certain candidates for election i think they will do the same thing in 2020 but on the biggest cayle. that any i'm not any. do the next guy in the.
9:49 am
3 for. all right good on the 7 because of the software over lucian against the military resistance everybody wonders if everybody around him are right everybody one democrazy. one day the military. should do a lot of people on the street i feel so scary we've got i never saw big kill each other from me. i fee so sucked and i feel so angry and same time. after that what can we do we have no power here nor up on about the music music you can speak out to use power to fight back we can screaming for the human right. person is i. should do among job. classes. mostly who hate islam the bed is the number. no other man told me the 1st 6 months this is not religion this is

9:52 am
was always feared the youth in the hope brought new ideas new concepts and who called friend with the cause of it to people august. 21st minimize doing projects like the voice of the unions. we are bringing 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 at they want to. you know they want to celebrate this freedom. so our job is to you know let them be aware of. but how they can influence the future.
