Myanmar (or Burma) is located in Southeast Asia. It is made up of a mix of languages and ethnicities, one of which is the Rohingya minority in the province of Rakhine. They have been subject to continuous collective displacement, murder and economic as well as cultural oppression. Their houses have also been burned or demolished. These acts by the majority Buddhists have obliged many of them to flee through the Bay of Bengal to keep their religion and families. The UN rates the Muslims of Myanmar one of the most oppressed minorities in the world, as they are deprived of their basic rights, such as education, employment, marriage, reproduction, travel, medical treatment and housing. The Burmese government rejects recognition of the group as citizens and considers them illegal Bengali immigrants Due to suppression of media as well as lack of independent journalists’ direct access to the region, it is impossible to confirm the numbers of people killed or houses destroyed in the 2012 periods of riots. The first started on June 8 and the second on October 24. However, it has become obvious that the Rohingya Muslims have been under ethnic cleansing and that there is a horrible violation of human rights, faced by journalistic and international, Western and Arab silence
