The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria, FOMWAN, has expressed shock with the wanton killings and massacre of Muslims in Rohingya.
FOMWAN enjoined well meaning world leaders to condemn the current violent killings going on in Rohingya, and appeals for Peace, while appealing to Muslims all over the world to exercise restraint, and pray fervently unto Allah to bring succour to those helpless Muslims under persecution wherever they may be on the globe.
FOMWAN called on world leaders to speak up, stating that the present silence of notable world organizations like the UN, UNICEF, OAU, – (Muslims and non Muslims) on the persecution currently going on in Rohingya is not in the best interest of humanity.
“Presently, many families have been shattered, many husbands killed, women and children slaughtered out of mere hatred. Let it be here categorically affirmed that the current failure of world leaders to act now, to save lives and bring an end to the violence in Rohingya, is dangerous.
“The response gotten by the Rohingya Muslims has been described as disproportionate – wiping out whole community, burning houses and killing several Rohingya Muslims is closer to genocide than anything else.”
FOMWAN also appealed to “dear Nobel Peace Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, to use her power and authority, through which she used to preach, that earned her the global recognition as “…an unflinching defender of human rights” to come to the rescue of women and children who are most hit by the current massacre.
