The new arrivals are moving to parts of Rakhine state mostly “cleared” of its Rohingya residents, whose villages were bulldozed and reduced to muddy stains on a landscape of lush farmland.

The Rakhine migrants, who come from the poor but relatively stable south, are — for now — few in number.

But they carry great expectations as the pioneers of a donor-led “Rakhinisation” plan to upend the demography of the once majority-Muslim area.

“We were really afraid of those Kalars and didn’t plan to come here,” Chit San Eain, a 28-year-old who has moved with her husband and toddler into a basic hut in Koe Tan Kauk tells AFP, using a pejorative term for Muslims.

“But now that they are no longer here, we have the chance to meet again with our relatives who live up here,” she added, the ruins of a Rohingya settlement lying a few kilometres away.

Nearly 700,000 Rohingya have been driven from northern Rakhine into Bangladesh since August 25 last year by a Myanmar army offensive against Muslim militants.

Another 300,000 Rohingya were pushed out from the south and centre of Rakhine by army campaigns stretching back to the late 1970s.

The UN has branded last year’s military crackdown ethnic cleansing, with a top official saying it carried all the “hallmarks of genocide.”

Myanmar vigorously denies the allegations and says refugees are welcome to return.

But so far it has agreed to allow back only 374 of 8,000 refugees whose names have been put forward for the initial phase of repatriation.

Many traumatised Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar camps are also refusing to be repatriated to Rakhine — where holding camps and hostile neighbours await them.

In their absence a blizzard of development projects, government and army-sponsored or privately funded, are transforming northern Rakhine.

Taking space vacated by fleeing Rohingya is an old game in a state seen as the frontline of a Buddhist nation’s fight against encroaching Islam.

“The military has been engineering the social landscape of northern Rakhine State so as to dilute the Rohingya population since the early 1990s,” says Francis Wade, author of “Myanmar’s Enemy Within: Buddhist Violence and the Making of the Muslim ‘Other'”.

The Muslim minority are denied citizenship and labelled “Bengalis”, outsiders who — the logic runs — have successfully been pushed back to their country of origin.

In a pattern with echoes of “the Israeli settler project in the West Bank” Buddhist communities then move in, altering the “facts on the ground” gradually rubbing out Muslim rights to the land, he added.

“I’d expect to see more Buddhists settle there over the coming years. And then we’ll forget what the area once was, and that process of erasure will be complete.”

– Rohingya out, Rakhine in –

Chit San Ean is the beneficiary of the Ancillary Committee for the Reconstruction of Rakhine National Territory in the Western Frontier (CRR), a private scheme established shortly after the refugee crisis began.

In a zone under a strict army lockdown the resettlement plan could not fly without military consent.

Funded by ethnic Rakhine donors, the CRR’s ambition is to establish a “Muslim-dry” buffer zone running the nearly 100 kilometres from state capital Sittwe to Maungdaw town, according to Oo Hla Saw, a Rakhine MP who advises the committee.

“All of this area was under the influence of Muslims. After the military operations, they had to flee… so we have to establish this area with the Rakhine population,” he told AFP.

The CRR will fund jobs and homes “so this little population can grow and grow,” he added.

It’s a trickle so far, with around 64 households — some 250 people — moved by the CRR, with 200 more families on a waiting list.

They are among the poorest of the poor, mostly daily wage labourers from Thandwe around 600 kilometres to the south or squatters from Sittwe.

Two village tracts, Koe Tan Kuak near Rathedaung and Inn Din near Maungdaw, have been designated for the scheme so far.

The army concedes the second site was the scene of extrajudicial killings of Rohingya captives as violence engulfed the region last August.

Koe Tan Kauk was a similarly mixed settlement of Buddhist and Muslim homes.

The CRR-sponsored hamlet promises a rudimentary existence.

There is little work, no electricity or running water but donors have gifted each family a $450 shack on stilts, made from plywood and metal sheeting.

New residents hope to eventually own land, a prospect previously beyond their reach in Myanmar’s second-poorest state.

Rakhine nationalists say the CRR is a bulwark against Islam and a means to ensure their ethnic group has a say in development projects driven by the Burmese-dominated central state, who they distrust deeply.

“Who should be given priority other than Rakhines in Rakhine State?” explained Than Tun, General Secretary of the CRR.

– Cronies and soldiers –

For its part, Myanmar’s government has enlisted powerful businessmen to rebuild the infrastructure of the battered state.

The army is running other projects including beefing up its security apparatus — in what appears to be a multi-pronged effort to keep out the Rohingya.

An Amnesty International report this week detailed how roads, helipads and security installations are being built, often on top of razed Rohingya settlements.

They labelled the activity a massive “land grab” that threatens to erase evidence of alleged atrocities, including at Inn Din.

Across northern Rakhine, abandoned land and rice fields have been commandeered by the army in an area with access tightly controlled to media, investigators and most aid groups.

The Rohingya lost their legal status in 1982, under a junta-era Citizenship Law. Now their ancestral lands are being stripped away.

That makes return impossible, according to lawmaker Oo Hla Saw.

“These people want to be recognised as ‘Rohingya’ ethnicity… to enjoy citizenship, to resettle in their native grounds,” he says. “Their demands are unreasonable.”

Despite their dangerous new neighbourhood, the arrivals at Koe Tan Kauk say they are there to stay.

“I will end my life here,” said a 69-year-old woman called Osar. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Abu Zarin, 33, passed away at 12.40am on Friday (March 16) after he was attacked by a cobra during an operation in Bentong on Monday (March 12). When contacted, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department Assistant Director of Operation Mohd Sani Harul confirmed Abu Zarin’s passing.

Mohd Sani said that he was bitten by a cobra at 7.54pm on Monday and was sent to Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital.

Abu Zarin, who was attached to Temerloh fire station, became a viral sensation after he was featured on Internet portals from around the world as well as British tabloids The Daily Mirror and The Daily Mail.

The articles mistakenly identified him as a Thai man who had married his pet snake as he believed it was his dead girlfriend due to its “striking resemblance” to her.

Unfortunately, the images used were actually of Abu Zarin and his pet snake. And no, he was not married to it.

Abu Zarin had conducted snake catching and training classes for firemen, who are often called up to capture the serpents by members of the public who find them in homes or public places.

During those sessions, he taught firemen how to identify the different snake species, especially the venomous ones and their bites, and ways to capture them without killing them.

Abu Zarin’s talent in handling snakes even found him a spot at the quarter finals of television program Asia’s Got Talent. It is learnt that Abu Zarin has been on the receiving end of snake bites before.

He was in a coma for two days due to a cobra bite in 2015.

Abu Zarin’s body has been transported to his hometown in Kampung Permatang Gading, Pasir Putih, Kelantan to be buried. He is expected to be buried after Friday prayers.

His comments come with Australia hosting a special summit of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders in Sydney, as China increasingly flexes its muscle and the threat of violent extremism grows.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Widodo told the Sydney Morning Herald, referring to Australia joining ASEAN — the first time an Indonesian president has endorsed the concept.

“Because our region will be better, (for) stability, economic stability, and also political stability. Sure, it will be better.”

Australia has been a dialogue partner of ASEAN, which groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, since 1974.

They began biennial leaders’ summits in 2016, with the first in Vientiane.

In a report last month, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute argued that Canberra should aim for ASEAN membership by 2024 — its 50th anniversary of being a partner — and use the Sydney summit as a launch pad.

“As the geo-strategic and geo-economic pressures build in Asia, ASEAN, as a middle-power grouping, needs the extra middle-power heft offered by Australia and New Zealand,” it said.

“The Sydney summit is the moment to launch the long conversation about Australia joining ASEAN.”

Widodo, who will reportedly have a private dinner at Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s harbourside home during his visit, singled out close co-operation with Canberra on counter-terrorism.

He said he regularly spoke on the phone with Turnbull to resolve issues such as the threat posed by Islamic extremists who last year seized the Philippines’ city of Marawi.

“We have good co-operation on Marawi, not only with Australia but also with Malaysia, with the Philippines, with Brunei,” he said.

“You know that no country is invulnerable from terrorism or extremism.”

Countering the threat of violent extremism and ways to choke terrorist financing are key themes of the Sydney summit.

The warming of ties between Indonesia and Australia follows a period of rocky relations due to Jakarta’s execution of Australian drug smugglers and Canberra’s policy of turning migrant boats back to Indonesia.

Documents obtained after a freedom of information lawsuit against the Treasury Department showed Mnuchin “apparently abused his access to military and non-commercial aircraft” for business and personal travel, according to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

A Treasury spokesperson rejected the group’s findings, calling them falsehoods or mischaracterizations.

Mnuchin, a former investment banker and Hollywood producer, came under negative scrutiny in August after he and his wife traveled aboard a government jet to visit the US Bullion Depository in Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Mnuchin’s wife, the actress Louise Linton, later apologized after lashing out at social media user who had criticized her for advertising the high fashion brands she wore during the trip.

The couple also agreed to reimburse the government for the costs of her travel.

The following month Mnuchin reportedly requested the use of a military jet during the couple’s European honeymoon — but ultimately did not use the $25,000-per-hour plane.

Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned in September following media revelations he had also racked up $400,000 in travel bills for chartered flights.

“From the documents we obtained, it appears Secretary Mnuchin considers first and foremost his own comfort and ease, leaving the protection of taxpayer money at the bottom of his list of priorities,” Anne Weismann, CREW’s chief counsel, said in a statement.

According to CREW, records show that between the spring and fall of last year Mnuchin took eight separate trips by military aircraft at a total cost of $1 million.

Mnuchin has not explained why he has not used commercial air travel, as his predecessors did, Weismann said.

The Treasury Secretary has said government aircraft allow him to send and receive sensitive national security information while traveling.

A department spokesperson told AFP on Thursday Mnuchin had followed the same approval process for the flights as prior Treasury secretaries.

An inspector general investigation had also reviewed the trips and found “no violation of law, regulation, or ethics requirements,” the spokesperson said.

“These documents explicitly demonstrate Treasury’s concern for being prudent with taxpayer dollars while fulfilling important departmental responsibilities.”

After indicting 19 people so far, Mueller’s team has put on edge many people in President Donald Trump’s orbit, not least Trump himself. But the investigators appear to still have a long way to go before wrapping up their probe.

Here are the various directions of Mueller’s investigation:

Collusion: dirt on Clinton

The investigation’s main focus is possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia. Moscow allegedly offered the campaign compromising materials on Trump rival Hillary Clinton several times — some of which was published by WikiLeaks.

According to reports and court filings, separate offers were made to campaign advisors George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. Another was allegedly made to top campaign officials, including Donald Trump Jr, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort, in a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer.

A key question: What did Trump know about that offer?

Mueller is also reportedly eyeing Republican political consultant Roger Stone over his contacts with WikiLeaks during the campaign.

Back-channels to Moscow

There was a spider-web of contacts between campaign officials and Russians, but it is unclear what they add up to. Page, formerly a Moscow-based investment banker, visited Russia during the campaign, and was already the target of an FBI espionage investigation. Papadopoulos admitted to numerous contacts with Russians in England, as he sought to arrange a trip by Trump to Moscow.

Kushner has admitted discussing a private communications channel with the Russians after the election, for unclear purposes. At that time Trump’s national security aide Michael Flynn was also having secretive conversations with Russia’s ambassador. Campaign chair Paul Manafort, according to The Washington Post, offered to share campaign information with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian tycoon with Kremlin links.

The Post also reported that Mueller is probing a meeting that an associate of Trump, Erik Prince, held with a senior Russian in the Seychelles in January 2017 as another “back channel” effort.

Russian hacking/disinformation

Surprisingly, the Mueller probe has also dug deeply into the Russian meddling itself, and not only to fill out the picture of what happened in 2016. In February Mueller indicted 13 Russians linked to the Internet Research Agency for their efforts to manipulate US public opinion. That group included Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin. Mueller is also expected to indict people involved in the hacking theft of Clinton materials.

Follow the money

Mueller has already charged former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and campaign deputy Rick Gates over laundering $75 million tied to work they did for pro-Moscow Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych.

On Thursday The New York Times reported that Mueller has subpoenaed records from the billionaire president’s umbrella company, the Trump Organization, related to Russia and other matters under investigation.

That could cut a broad swath: Russians figured large as customers in the business, with many buying condominiums in his New York and Florida projects.

In 2013 Trump partnered with a Moscow developer with Putin links to hold his Miss Universe contest in Moscow.

Trump’s 2008 sale of a Palm Beach mansion to Russian oligarch Dmitry Ryobolev for $95 million, which Trump paid only $41 million for, has also raised eyebrows.

There are also questions about Kushner’s seeking international financing for a heavily indebted New York property owned by his family business, and how that may have intersected with the Trump campaign.

Sex

Mueller could also be looking into the possible existence of a lurid videotape in Russian hands involving Trump and prostitutes dating back to the Miss Universe. That was reported in the dossier on links between the campaign and Russia produced by British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Steele, much of whose report has proven to be accurate, was interviewed by Mueller’s team last year. Steele’s sources said the video could provide the Kremlin with leverage over Trump.

Obstruction

The weightiest charge Mueller is exploring is Trump’s possible obstruction of his investigation. Trump’s firing of FBI director James Comey, his constant comments on the investigation, possibly covering up the June 2016 Trump tower meeting, and other actions could support the charge. But Mueller will need powerful evidence to prove it, as it could set up a hearing on impeaching the president in Congress.

China’s censors are scrambling to put a lid on a social media frenzy unleashed by a journalist’s reaction to a softball question during the mostly scripted annual parliament session.

Impeccably coiffed and sporting a bright blue suit jacket, Yicai financial news service reporter Liang Xiangyi sighed and raised a sceptical eyebrow at another journalist’s query to a delegate at a National People’s Congress press event Tuesday.

As the question about China’s Belt and Road infrastructure project dragged on for 45 seconds, Liang grimaced, glanced sideways to give the woman dressed in red a disbelieving once-over, and concluded with a majestic, head-turning eye-roll.

Liang’s image was plastered onto T-shirts and cellphone cases sold on Taobao, China’s ever-reactive eBay equivalent.

But China maintains tight control of its internet and is extremely wary of viral stories about politically sensitive subjects like the NPC.

By evening, Liang’s name had become the most-censored term on China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform.

And on Wednesday, authorities released an “urgent notice” prohibiting all discussion of her in all mainland media outlets.

“Anything already posted must be deleted. Without exception, websites must not hype the episode,” according to the US-based China Digital Times, which posted the leaked directive.

‘In the hearts of the nation’

This year’s NPC gathering has been historic.

A vote Sunday abolished rules limiting heads of state to 10 years in power, setting President Xi Jinping on a course to potentially rule the country for life.

On Tuesday, the congress also unveiled plans for the biggest shakeup of government structures in at least a decade, including the merger of its banking and insurance regulators to better handle financial risks.

But Liang’s epic eye-roll has now grabbed the limelight.

“With this outfit and your meaningful expression, you’ve left a deep impression in the hearts of the whole nation’s people,” wrote one of thousands of commenters on her Weibo account, which had soared to over 200,000 followers.

Zhang Huijun, the reporter who posed the long-winded question, works for American Multimedia Television (AMTV), a Los Angeles-based company whose website describes itself as a CCTV partner.

Reporters from media outlets based abroad but with ties back to China’s state media apparatus are often called on at government events so that Beijing can appear to cede the floor to “foreign” journalists — who will nonetheless toe the party line.

Unknown fate

A leaked screenshot of an Yicai group chat showed Liang explaining herself.

“Her question was even longer than the answer,” she said, using a colourful obscenity to describe Zhang and calling her “stupid”.

Yicai Media declined to comment and the NPC press office said they did not know anything about rumours that Liang’s press credentials were revoked.

AFP journalists did not see Liang or Zhang during a session on Wednesday of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the top political advisory board that holds its annual session at the same time as the NPC.

Online commenters were sympathetic to Liang.

“Sister, if you’ve lost your job,” one fan told her, “you can always work in social media”.//AFP

Hundreds of teenagers from Washington area schools gathered outside the White House, holding up signs reading “Books Not Bullets” and “Protect People Not Guns” before marching on the US Capitol.

“We want to show Congress and politicians we are not standing by, we are not silent anymore,” said 17-year-old Brenna Levitan, who was at the protest with her mother.

“Parkland is going to be the last school shooting.”

Students in dozens of other cities in all 50 states staged similar demonstrations and observed a moment of silence to honor the 14 students and three adult staff killed a month ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

In Washington, several hours after the protests broke up, US lawmakers took their first significant step to address school gun violence since the Parkland shooting.

The House of Representatives voted 407-10 to fund violence prevention measures at schools including boosting security, mental health screening and creating anonymous reporting systems so students can report threats.

But Congress has yet to tackle the more controversial aspects of gun control demanded in the wake of the Parkland shooting.

These include expanded background checks for gun sales, a ban on assault weapons and raising the minimum age for some firearms purchases.

– ‘We want change’ –

Dressed in the school’s maroon colors, students at Stoneman Douglas visited memorials to their slain classmates and hugged and cried.

At a high school in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, students marched to the football field and assembled in a heart formation to pay tribute to the victims.

In Los Angeles and other cities, teenagers spelled out the protest slogan “#ENOUGH” by lying down on the ground on sports fields.

In Washington, students were joined by Democratic members of Congress at the Capitol.

Speakers denounced the National Rifle Association (NRA), the powerful US gun lobby, and demanded that Congress enact tougher laws on gun ownership.

“You, the young people of this country, are leading the nation,” Senator Bernie Sanders told the crowd.

“People are sick and tired of gun violence and the time is now for all of us, together, to stand up to the NRA.”

In New York, students — many of whom wore orange, the color of gun control — walked out from more than 50 schools.

“We want change,” and “Am I next?” they chanted.

The “National School Walkout” was intended to last for 17 minutes, one for each victim.

But tens of thousands of students around the country decided to skip school entirely and protest instead.

– ‘No guns in schools’ –

At the White House, 17-year-old Farah Parmah, who goes to Thomas Wootton High School in Rockville, Maryland, said President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to arm and train teachers “is just a bad, bad idea.”

“Gun violence has taken way too many lives this year,” said Parmah, who is 17.

“There should be no guns in schools.”

White House spokesman Raj Shah said Trump “shares the students’ concerns about school safety.”

The nationwide protest was held one month to the day after Nikolas Cruz, a troubled 19-year-old former student at Stoneman Douglas, unleashed a hail of gunfire on his one-time classmates.

Cruz, dressed in a red prison jumpsuit, appeared in court in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday and a judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.

His lawyers had said he would plead guilty in exchange for guarantees that he would not face execution, but prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty.

Next protest on March 24

The United States has more than 30,000 gun-related deaths annually and Stoneman Douglas students have spearheaded a national gun control campaign, helping to force through a new law on age limits for gun purchasers in Florida.

The US public supports tougher gun laws, according to polls, but there is little backing for meaningful reforms in the Republican-controlled Congress.

Trump momentarily signaled support for curbing access to guns, notably by raising the age for purchases from 18 to 21, but now stands accused of bowing to the NRA.

He backed away from supporting age limits on gun purchases — sending the proposal to a commission on school safety — as well as from expanded background checks.

Such checks are currently only performed on people buying firearms from licensed gun dealers. Sales online and at gun shows are exempt.

According to the #ENOUGH” campaign, students from more than 3,000 schools nationwide took part in Wednesday’s demonstrations.

Another nationwide student-inspired protest, the March For Our Lives, is to be held on March 24.

“Reputational deterioration, the media campaign, the financial consequences and irregular actions by some Panamanian authorities have caused irreparable damage, resulting in the total ceasing of public operations at the end of this month,” Mossack Fonseca said in a statement.

But it added a smaller group would continue working to address requests from authorities and other public and private groups.

Last August, co-founder Jurgen Mossack acknowledged the firm had closed most of its offices abroad after its damaged credibility caused business to flounder.

April 3, 2016 marked the beginning of the “Panama Papers” scandal — a leak of 11.5 million files from Mossack Fonseca’s digital archive that revealed how wealthy and influential figures across the world had created offshore businesses to safeguard assets.

The information was obtained by German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, who shared it with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. It was released as a searchable database, with revelations continuing to be unearthed to this day.

Icelandic prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson was forced to resign after it was revealed his family had offshore accounts — while former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif was disqualified for life from office after being implicated in the documents.

Other figures implicated included former British premier David Cameron, football star Lionel Messi, Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri, Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, to name but a few.

At least 150 investigations were opened in 79 countries to examine possible tax evasion and money laundering, according to the US-based Center for Public Integrity.

Here are five questions and answers on what it means:

– Why did Duterte do it? –

The ICC announced on February 9 a preliminary examination into allegations Philippine police have killed thousands of alleged users or dealers as part of Duterte’s anti-drug war that he launched after taking office in mid-2016.

Duterte had previously threatened to withdraw from the international body as a result of what he has called a politically slanted inquiry.

– Can ICC still investigate? –

Philippine lawyers say Duterte’s withdrawal will not stop any ICC inquiry.

“The withdrawal from the ICC only takes effect after a year from notification,” said Celeste Mallari, a professor at the University of the Philippines Law College’s Institute of International Legal Studies.

This means that the ICC can continue looking into any acts that took place since Duterte took office until the notification take effect.

– Is Philippines member of ICC? –

Duterte had previously said the Philippines had never fully ratified the statute that makes it a member of the ICC.

However, former chief Philippine government lawyer Florin Hilbay disagreed, saying the treaty was ratified by the Senate under then-president Benigno Aquino in 2011.

– Can Duterte stop probe? –

Duterte has previously ordered soldiers and police not to cooperate with any ICC inquiry. His officials have also said Manila can cite a provision that the ICC cannot assume jurisdiction over a country whose legal system is still functioning.

Mallari, the law professor, said the ICC might decide that the Philippine justice system is not working properly because the key agencies are under control of close allies of Duterte.

“It depends on their appreciation of how our system is working,” she said.

– Impact on Philippines? –

“I imagine this will be an international embarrassment for the Philippines,” said Hilbay, remarking that the country had once been seen as a regional leader in human rights.

Opened in 2002, the ICC is the world’s only permanent war crimes court and aims to prosecute the worst abuses when national courts are unable or unwilling.//AFP
