500 fully armed Taliban Forces Towards Myanmar
#International
Although their age is still relatively young, but the spirit of helping his brother who is being tyrannized so surge. This is demonstrated by 500 fully armed Taliban troops moving towards the Myanmar border.
Taliban militants in Pakistan are calling on Muslims in Myanmar for jihad and against oppressive governments.
The Taliban even said training facilities would be available to help Muslims in Myanmar fight for jihad. According to a spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which is a Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) faction, Ehsanullah Ehsan, his group shares the grief of ethnic Rohingya Muslim minorities in Myanmar. Similarly, as reported by AFP on Tuesday.
The Burmese authorities refuse to recognize about 1.3 million Rohingyas as citizens. Myanmar imposed restrictions on Rohingyas, such as movement and access to jobs.
The impoverished Rakhine region, has been a silent witness to the tension between Buddhist majority citizens and the Rohingya minority. Many Rohingyas are forced to live in refugee camps after a deadly riot occurred in the region in 2012.
"I call on the youth of Burma: take up arms and strive for jihad in the way of Allah, no doubt God is with us," Ehsan said in an audio message sent to the media.
Burma is an old name of Myanmar. "Our training centers, our resources, training, people, are all available to provide comfort to you," he added. Ehsan calls the protests, long marches and critics only a small impact.
According to Ehsan, it is the only jihad or war that will make the Myanmar government pay attention to Rohingya. About 4 percent of the total of 51 million people of Myanmar embrace Islam.
Half of that amount is ethnic Rohingya. The TTP is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in attacks against the Pakistani government since 2007, but the militants rarely show their work on issues outside its territory.
Just this time, the Taliban in Pakistan are calling for jihad in Myanmar. But support from foreign militants for Rohingya is not the first time. In recent years, foreign militants including Al-Qaeda have sparked support for Rohingyas and called for jihad.
