Default The ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, and Pak Army’s response



“The ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, and Pak Army’s response”

After the plight of Muslims in Myanmar (Burma), for the last few days a great hue and cry was noticed on social media that why Pakistan armed forces are not attacking that Buddhist government. So I want to clarify the reason that why the Pak Army is not attacking. The air distance between Pakistan and Myanmar is 2800 KM, for which Pakistan Air Force’s aircrafts will have to fly over India and Bangladesh, which would never allow for doing so. Another way is to use alternate route, by flying over China. In Myanmar case, China is between Scylla and Charybdis, because there are also some Chinese ethnic groups living as a minority, like Kokang which has the estimated population of about 1.6 million. The Chinese government also wants their safety, if China allows her air space to attack Myanmar, then it could endanger her own ethnic groups living there. Another point is that China is looking Myanmar to connect her with One Belt One Road project, thus any action by former government against latter can spoil her plan.

As far as the sale of JF-17 aircrafts to Myanmar is concerned, so it is jointly manufactured by Chinese state-run Aviation Industry Corp of China and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC). Pakistan produces 58% of the airframe and China 42% of it. Chinese allowed that sale because of her own interests with Myanmar, and PAC signed that deal with Myanmar at the Paris air show in June 2015. It is more than half a US billion dollar deal against sixteen aircrafts. Pakistan conducted that deal to increase her influence in Myanmar; otherwise India was trying to sale her Tejas plane to increase her dominance in the Burmese government. By doing such deals with all the neighbors, except Pakistan, India is becoming a dominant power in the region, as Sri Lanka has been under pressure from the Indian government not to purchase JF-17 from Pakistan, because India offered its own light combat aircraft to the country.

When any country purchases high technology aircrafts from another, then former comes under the pressure of latter for buying parts and repair of jets in the future, which is favorable for Pakistan. PAF also has to replace her obsolete fleet of F7/PG, for which it has to generate revenue, and for that purpose PAF is finalizing such deals.

In case if Pakistan navy uses sea route to attack Myanmar, then we will have to face Indian and Bangladesh Navy first, and it will create a situation of war with not one country, but with three. Contemporarily we are facing multidimensional problems, thus it is not wise to take such step at this time.

Pakistan Army is engaged to defend the country from the Eastern and the Western foes, is also dealing their proxies who remain busy to terrorize our motherland. Our armed forces have to rescue the populace from torrential rains, earthquakes, and floods. At this stage Pakistan’s civilian government should make arrangements to financially, and medically support the Rohingya Muslims, but Pakistan Army should not go there to attack.

Pakistan Zinda-bad.
Pakistan Army Painda-bad.
