Mr Swire avoided answering her important question by answering a different question that was not asked. I have therefore emailed the following communication to Mr Swire:

It only seems like a matter of time before a massacre takes place in Maungdaw (which is the area in Myanmar/Burma next to the Bangladesh border). Recent events suggest Myanmar authorities have plans to 'cleanse' the Myanmar/Bangladesh border from the Rohingya 'viruses' - worryingly it seems that not only do they want Rohingya living within the border ofDartmoor Torshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11223748062251276515noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768776940921729248.post-40629998948962098232014-04-12T04:08:00.001-07:002014-04-12T04:14:48.793-07:00Myanmar: Building a Legacy of GenocideOne of the first video clips I saw of the Rohingya genocide was this one in June 2012:

The answer has always been a little muddled, since getting aid in to the hands of the Rohingya has always been a difficult operation with few NGOs operating in the area and those that have been have generally had to keep a really low profile.

Dear Members of the OIC,
I am writing to you regarding the Rohingya in Burma/Myanmar. I have been campaigning for them every day since June 2012 when they experienced the first round of terrible violence, when many were killed, thousands of homes were burnt and thousands of innocent people were driven from their land.
