Rohingyas stopped from going for Hajj

The performance of Hajj or pilgrimage to Makkah is a major requirement once in a lifetime for most Muslims, and yet the extremist Rakhine Buddhists are stopping Muslims to pursue this religious duty. See the report below:
At least twenty one Rohingya Haj pilgrims who were permitted by Myanmar government to go to Saudi Arabia for performing Haj have been halted by Rakhine extremists at AungNguma area while going to Sittwe for Yangon today, 8 August 2017.
According to report, 13 pilgrims from Maungdaw and 8 pilgrims from Buthidaung were allowed by district and ministry level authorities to go to Saudi Arabia from Yangon air port by flight for performing Haj.
When the pilgrims reached to AungNguma and about to get down from launch, they were halted from getting down by Rakhine mob. The pilgrims were threatened of killing and pushed them back to Buthidaung and Maungdaw.
From AungNguma area, they have again set off back for their homes in Buthidaung and Maungdaw since they were prevented from going to Yangon although the pilgrims were completely allowed by Myanmar concerned authorities.
The pilgrims have the evidences of permission issued by concerned Myanmar government authority for going to Saudi Arabia for Haj.
It proves how much the Rakhine extremists are always against the Rohingya who are also heirs of Arakan like Rakhine people. Although the Rohingya people feel like staying in coexistence with Rakhine, they are always with their hidden motive against the Rohingya.
It is a sorrowful matter for Rohingya people that the Rakhine unscrupulous and chaotic and extremists foiled the performing Haj of Rohingya pilgrims, said a Rohingya activist.

The international sigh of relief was almost audible amid hopes that former President Donald Trump’s disruptive style was a relic. Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda to repair alliances and forge new ones, curb corruption, arrest democratic backsliding, and tackle climate change, all while managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian threats to Ukraine, and escalating tensions with China.  It hasn’t all been plain sailing. The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t

George Soros at the Davos Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues,   I thought you would be interested in reading George's remarks he delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this evening.   Best regards, Michael Vachon   George Soros Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland January 25, 2018 The current moment in history Good evening. It has become something of an annual Davos tradition for me to give an overview of the current state of the world. I was planning half an hour for my remarks and half an hour for questions, but my speech has turned out to be closer to an hour. I attribute this to the severity of the problems confronting us. After I’ve finished, I’ll open it up for your comments and questions. So prepare yourselves. *** I find the current moment in history rather painful. Open societies are in crisis, and various forms of dictatorships and mafia states, exemplified by Putin’s Russia, are on the rise. In the United States, President Trump would
