CNN —Renewed fears of ethnic cleansing against the stateless Rohingya Muslim community are mounting after reports that hundreds of people, including women and children, were killed by drone strikes while fleeing violence in Myanmar’s western Rakhine state last week. Witnesses and Rohingya activists told CNN that a series of drone strikes on August 5 hit civilians fleeing fighting and violence in their villages in Maungdaw, northern Rakhine. The displaced families had been waiting to cross the river to Bangladesh at the time of the attack, they said. Forced recruitment of Rohingya men and boys is stoking religious tensions between the Rohingya Muslim and Rakhine Buddhist communities, the report said. “Ethnic Rohingya and Rakhine civilians are bearing the brunt of the atrocities that the Myanmar military and opposition Arakan Army are committing,” said Elaine Pearson, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.

The Philippines said its foreign minister would also not join, without elaborating.

Aceasta este o specie de maimuţă-langur - Trachypithecus, după denumirea sa ştiinţifică - endemică în subcontinentul indian şi Asia de Sud-Est, numită după Muntele Popa, un sit sacru situat pe un vulcan inactiv din centrul Myanmarului. În această zonă a fost localizat cel mai mare grup al speciei, cu o sută de indivizi. Alte trei grupuri de Trachypithecus popa au fost identificate, tot în centrul Myanmarului, numărul total al exemplarelor fiind între 200 şi 250, citează Agerpres. „Abia identificată, maimuţa-langur Popa este deja ameninţată cu dispariţia", a avertizat Frank Momberg, unul dintre cercetătorii de la FFI, citaţi într-un comunicat. „Noi studii pe teren şi măsuri de protecţie urgente vor fi efectuate de FFI şi de alţii pentru a salva maimuţele-langur de la dispariţie", a subliniat Ngwe Lwin, primatolog în cadrul proiectului din Myanmar al organizaţiei de mediu.
