Forty Rohingya villages in Myanmar were burnt in a military campaign. Human Rights Watch Asia director Brad Adams, in a statement yesterday, citing analysis of satellite imagery, said the buildings in 40 villages were destroyed in October and November, increasing the total to 354 villages that had been partially or completely razed since last August.<br/><br/>He said, the satellite imagery shows what the Burmese army denies – that Rohingya villages continue to be destroyed. Burmese government pledges to ensure the safety of returning Rohingyas cannot be taken seriously.<br/><br/>Deadly attacks by Rohingya insurgents on August 25 prompted a ferocious military crackdown on the Muslim minority living in the north of Myanmar's Rakhine state. <br/><br/>The crackdown has led more than 655,000 people of this Muslim minority community to flee to Bangladesh.
