Many of you may have seen the SUMMARY of the 430 page REPORT by the ICOE
(Independent Commission of Enquiry). 235 pages of that report are ANNEXES 16-28 which
has WITNESS TESTIMONIES and VERIFIED DETAILS of 50+ attacks by Bengali Muslims,
This is why Reuters, Fortify Rights, Human Rights Watch, Frontier Myanmar, and all other
ignorant and arrogant Bengali terrorist supporting goons hate it! Because, it is honest,
truthful, in-depth, verified, cross-checked, and researched material. (I know that well,
because I assisted them by giving them a lot of material evidence, which they cross-checked
and verified).
One Daingnet woman witness stated, “a sound of explosion was heard from the Mindat
border guard station near Taungpyo Letwe Town on August 24. On the morning of 25th, about
30 policemen came to our Ward 2 and moved the people from the ward to area 4 where it
was more secure. Up to that time, Muslims were staying in their houses. No fire was seen to
that time. Some days later, fires were seen burning. My husband and a Mro ethnic national
went back to our houses in Ward 2 on the morning of 26th, and both were said to be
killed by the Muslims, but their remains were not found to date.”
A Rakhine national who was a staff member in the Taungpyo Letwe agriculture office during
the incident stated, “close to midnight on August 24, 2017, I was sleeping in the office and
heard people shouting from the hills and mountains surrounding Taungpyo Letwe Town.
People from all wards fled in fear to a nearby police station. The police station accepted the
locals and provided security. A week after the incident, locals taking refuge in the police
station were sent to a relief camp in Sittwe.”
Two Daingnets stated of seeing fires burning but didn’t know about how it was started. One
Rakhine witness didn’t mention anything about fire. But one Rakhine ward administrator said,
prior to the 2017 incident, earlier in August [a couple of weeks before the big attacks on Aug
25], about 4,000 Muslims from Kyeinchaung [Buthidaung Township] came to Maungdaw
side to plant rice even though it was not a rice planting time. A Muslim ward administrator
2
from Ward 1 told the Muslims who came into his ward from other places to return to their
places of origin and those Muslims left afterward. On August 25, gunshots were heard from
Ye Aung Chaung area. Later, ethnic nationals in the ward moved to a police station where it
was more secure. In addition to ethnic nationals from Taungpyo Letwe Town, ethnic nationals
from nearby villages of Thayakon and Thinbawhla also took up refuge in the police station.
The police station let ethnic nationals take refuge while cautioning the ethnic nationals not to
create problem with the Muslims. Ethnic nationals who took refuge in the police station were
not allowed to go outside the station to prevent any problem from arising. There was no
problem between ethnic nationals and Muslims in Taungpyo Letwe. Just as the incident
started, on August 26 and 27, Muslims torched their own belongings and then left for
Bangladesh. In doing so, they took away their buffaloes, cows, goats, as well as motorcycles
and left for Bangladesh by breaking down the fence. Troops arrived in Taungpyo Letwe on
August 29 to provide security.
Those interviewed didn’t say anything about the military committing, rape, looting,
mass killing and forced displacement. Taungpyo Letwe ward administrator said that in
September, after the Muslims fl ed from Taungpyo Letwe wards, ethnic nationals returned to
live in their wards and there were only cases of these ethnic nationals taking vegetables
grown by the Muslims who had left. There were some cases of furniture looted from Muslim
houses, but most Muslims had taken away with them all portable things in their houses.
