Noor Ayesha held her last surviving daughter tight as their boat crossed into Bangladeshi waters. She left behind a firebombed home, a dead husband, seven slain children and the soldiers who raped her.<\/p>\n
\u201cA group of about 20 of them appeared in front of my house,\u201d the 40-year-old Rohingya<\/a> woman recalled of the morning in mid-October when her village was invaded by hundreds of Burmese government troops. \u201cThey ordered all of us to come out in the courtyard. They separated five of our children and forced them into one of our rooms and put on the latch from outside. Then they fired a \u2018gun-bomb\u2019 on that room and set it on fire.<\/p>\n \u201cFive of my children were burnt to death by the soldiers. They killed my two daughters after raping them. They also killed my husband and raped me.\u201d<\/p>\n She said just one child survived the frenzy: five-year-old Dilnawaz Begum, who hid in a neighbour\u2019s house when the soldiers arrived in the village of Kyet Yoe Pyin, in the Maungdaw township of Rakhine state.<\/p>\n Ayesha\u2019s account is one of a wave of reports of extrajudicial killing, arson and sexual assaults allegedly committed by Burmese soldiers in the north-west of the country. The government strongly denies the allegations, but the UN says<\/a> the reports of rape and sexual assault are \u201cpart of a wider pattern of ethnically motivated violence\u201d against Rohingya communities in Rakhine.<\/p>\n Source – https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/dec\/10\/burmese-military-killed-seven-of-my-children-says-rohingya-refugee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Burmese military killed seven of my children, says Rohingya refugee Noor Ayesha held her last surviving daughter tight as their boat crossed into Bangladeshi waters.
