Rohingya ‘happy’ at ICC request for Myanmar junta chief warrant

“STILL NOT SAFE”

” Issuing an arrest warrant is great news for us,” said Maung Sayodullah, head of a civil rights organisation in Cox’s Bazar. ” He is the key culprit of the 2017 murder against the Rohingya people. “

But Sayodullah said the violence continued in his original home of Rakhine state, riven by war between Arakan Army ( AA ) forces and the junta troops.

The place is spiralling towards hunger, according to the United Nations.

” We are still not secure in our land, Rakhine,” he said, calling for action to prevent fighting.

ICC judges may then decide whether to give the arrest warrants.

If granted, the 124 users of the ICC may potentially be obliged to arrest the junta main if he travelled to their state.

Alam, the civic society activist has more urgent problems than the slower grinding wheels of global justice.

” We want to go back home,” he said. ” The international community should function to return us to our house land, Myanmar… for our relocation, safety, and dignity. “
