UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Britain has asked for the U.N. Security Council to meet on Wednesday to discuss escalating deadly violence between Rohingya insurgents and Myanmar security forces in Rakhine state, Britain's U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said on Tuesday.

"Need to address long-term issues in Rakhine, urge restraint by all parties," Rycroft posted on Twitter.

A series of coordinated attacks by Rohingya insurgents on security forces in the north of Myanmar's Rakhine state on Friday has triggered a fresh exodus to Bangladesh of Rohingya Muslim villagers trying to escape the violence.

Emergency Situation in Arakan

The military government that has quietened the 60 millions population for five decades, wisely pretends to be uncontrollable the situation while local media are still trying to neglect the ongoing violences by repeating a fabricated murder case of individual.

Despite the quasi-civilian government lessly described to fancily balanced up the death toll and destruction numbers,

in reality the death toll is more than (10,000) people, burned and destructed about (22,000) houses plus (92) mosques from hundred muslim villages across (9) different towns of Arakan state. While the number of injuries, rapes, looting, arbitrary abuses is uncountable. About 150,000 homeless Rohingyas in Sittwe/Akyab alone but less than half of them have been listed in five refugee camps and receiving very poor assistance.

The rest about 50,000 shelter-less mulsim victims comprising Rohingyas, Kaman and Rakhine muslims in 7 other towns- Maundaw, Rathedaung, Kyauktaw, Pauktaw, Rambre, Myebon and Ponnagyuan towns are still compelled to die with starvation. The rest of the Arakanese muslims in all over Arakan state are also facing critical food shortage from the beginning as a result of the government still impose confinement on them and Rakhine people are still allowed to carry vigillant attacks...
