TEKNAF, Bangladesh (AP) — Nur Karim’s quest for safety took him on a
five-day trek through Myanmar’s forests before he reached the dangerous,
rain-swollen waters of the Naf River and boarded a boat to Bangladesh.
But the Rohingya Muslim man’s relief at escaping the latest violence
in his homeland was tinged by a deep pain. In the chaos of an exit
punctuated by the crack of Myanmar soldiers’ bullets, Karim lost track
of his family.
“In the night the Burma army started firing,” Karim said Friday as he
entered Bangladesh, exhausted and with sweat dripping from every pore
of his wiry body. “My wife and child got separated. I don’t know where
they are.”
Karim is one of nearly 430,000 Rohingya to cross into Bangladesh in
the past month as the persecuted minority group flees attacks by
security forces and civilian mobs in Myanmar, also known as Burma. The
latest violence began when a Rohingya insurgent group launched deadly
attacks on security posts, prompting Myanmar’s military to launch
“clearance operations” to root out the rebels. It’s a campaign the U.N.
has described as ethnic cleansing.
Karim left fear behind in Myanmar, but the memories of his last days in his village in Maungdaw remain painful.
“The authorities told us ‘You people don’t run away. We won’t do anything to you people. You people stay,’” he said.
That was a week ago and it was raining heavily. As the rain stopped, the soldiers returned and starting setting houses on fire.
“They started turning everything to ash so everyone started running away,” Karim said. “We ran to save our lives.”
Reaching Bangladesh’s shores, however, was simply the first step in another difficult journey.
The hungry and bone-tired man hadn’t eaten for a day when he arrived.
Weariness and sadness seemed to envelope him. And still he needed to
find the money to pay for his trip to one of the newly set up camps for
the masses who have escaped over the last month.
The boat ride had cost him the last of his money, despite the fact
that a kindly boatman charged him far less than the going rate and even
gave him a life jacket when he learnt that Karim couldn’t swim.
Finally a stranger offered to pay his fare for the ride to the Balukhali camp, more than an hour’s drive away.
At the camp Karim smiled for the first time in days as he hugged his
mother and sister, who had made the dangerous journey a few weeks before
him. He hugged his little niece.
A plate of rice and chicken filled his hungry belly. Then he sprawled on the floor exhausted.
The tropical sun beat down on his plastic-covered tent, thickening the air with an oppressive heat. But he was safe.
Now he dreams of another act of grace that will unite him with his wife and daughter.

Witness to Carnage in Burma’s Rakhine State: Burmese Soldiers Kill Her Baby, Slaughter Her Family and Neighbors: Peter Bouckaert, Director, Emergencies, Human Rights Watch, 22 September 2017
Hasina is a soft-spoken 20-year-old Rohingya woman from Rakhine State
in Burma. She asked us to use her picture and tell her story so the
world knows what is happening there.
Her village, Tula Toli, was attacked in late August by the Burmese army on a rampage of killing and arson after Rohingya militants carried out coordinated strikes on police posts. The villagers ran when the soldiers came, but some were trapped on a river bank. Dozens, Hasina said, were murdered on the beach in front of her eyes, but the nightmare was only beginning.
The army forced Hasina and many other women to stand waist-deep in water and watch while soldiers dug a pit to burn the bodies of those they had killed. She tried to hide her infant daughter under her shawl, but a soldier noticed the baby, snatched her away and tossed her into the fire.
Hours later the soldiers took Hasina, her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and three other relatives, all children, to a nearby house. The soldiers tried to rape the women, knifing the mother-in-law to death when she resisted and beating Hasina and her sister-in-law unconscious. They beat the young children to death with spades.
Hasina insisted we take her picture and show her face to the world. For her, it is a brave act of defiance to those who sought to eliminate her and her family.

Matthew XXV, 30
The first bridge at Constitucion, and at my feet
The rumble of trains threading their iron mazes.
Smoke and whistles rose up in the night
That all of a sudden was the night of Doomsday. From the hidden horizon,
From the core of my being, an infinite voice
Spoke these things (these things, not these words,
Which are my poor timebound attempt to translate
One single word):
-- Stars, bread, libraries east and west,
Playing cards, chessboards, galleries, skylights and cellars,
A human body to walk the earth,
Fingernails growing at night and after death,
Forgetful shadow, mirrors intently multiplying images,
Cadences of music, most yielding of all the forms of time,
The Brazil and Uruguay borders, horses, mornings,
A bronze weight and a copy of the Grettirsaga,
Algebra, fire, the cavalry charge at Junin in your blood,
Days more crowded than Balzac, the fragrance of honeysuckle,
Love and the eve of love and unbearable recollections,
Dreams like buried treasure, rich contingency,
And memory, not to be gazed on without vertigo,
All this was given you, and also
The ancient bread of heroes:
Betrayal, defeat, humiliation.
We have lavished the ocean on you, all in vain,
In vain the sun, that Whitman saw with marvelling eyes;
You have wasted the years and they have wasted you,
And still, you have not written the poem.
Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986): Mateo XXV, 30 (Matthew XXV, 30), from Fervor en Buenos Aires, 1923; English version by Robert Mezey and Richard Barnes

Some sources also say it happened November 24, but this is unlikely as Morgunblaðið reported the accident on November 22.: photo by Hansueli Krapf, 17 September 2014

Jorge Luis Borges: Mateo XXV, 30
El primer puente de Constitución y a mis pies
Fragor de trenes que tejían laberintos de hierro.
Humo y silbidos escalaban la noche,
Que de golpe fue el Juicio Universal. Desde el invisible horizonte
Y desde el centro de mi ser, una voz infinita
Dijo estas cosas (estas cosas, no estas palabras,
Que son mi pobre traducción temporal de una sola palabra):
-- Estrellas, pan, bibliotecas orientales y occcidentales,
Naipes, tableros de ajedrez, galerías, claraboyas y sótanos,
Un cuerpo humano para andar por la tierra,
Uñas que crecen en la noche, en la muerte,
Sombra que olvida, atareados espejos que multiplican,
Declives de la música, la más dócil de las formas del tiempo,
Fronteras del Brasil y del Uruguay, caballos y mañanas,
Una pesa de bronce y un ejemplar de la Saga de Grettir,
Algebra y fuego, la carga de Junín en tu sangre,
Días más populosos que Balzac, el olor de la madreselva,
Amor y vísperas de amor y recuerdos intolerables,
El sueño como un tesoro enterrado, el dadivoso azar
Y la memoria, que el hombre no mira sin vértigo,
Todo eso te fue dado, y también
El antiguo alimento de los héroes:
La falsía, la derrota, la humillación.
En vano te hemos prodigado el océano,
En vano el sol, que vieron los maravillosos ojos de Whitman;
Has gastado los años y te han gastado,
Y todavía no has escrito el poema.

The first bridge at Constitucion, and at my feet
The rumble of trains threading their iron mazes.
Smoke and whistles rose up in the night
That all of a sudden was the night of Doomsday. From the hidden horizon,
From the core of my being, an infinite voice
Spoke these things (these things, not these words,
Which are my poor timebound attempt to translate
One single word):
-- Stars, bread, libraries east and west,
Playing cards, chessboards, galleries, skylights and cellars,
A human body to walk the earth,
Fingernails growing at night and after death,
Forgetful shadow, mirrors intently multiplying images,
Cadences of music, most yielding of all the forms of time,
The Brazil and Uruguay borders, horses, mornings,
A bronze weight and a copy of the Grettirsaga,
Algebra, fire, the cavalry charge at Junin in your blood,
Days more crowded than Balzac, the fragrance of honeysuckle,
Love and the eve of love and unbearable recollections,
Dreams like buried treasure, rich contingency,
And memory, not to be gazed on without vertigo,
All this was given you, and also
The ancient bread of heroes:
Betrayal, defeat, humiliation.
We have lavished the ocean on you, all in vain,
In vain the sun, that Whitman saw with marvelling eyes;
You have wasted the years and they have wasted you,
And still, you have not written the poem.
Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986): Mateo XXV, 30 (Matthew XXV, 30), from Fervor en Buenos Aires, 1923; English version by Robert Mezey and Richard Barnes

A
natural-color satellite image shows lava fountains, lava flows, a
volcanic plume, and steam from vaporized snow. The image was acquired on
March 24, 2010, by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard NASA's Earth
Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. The lava fountains are orange-red, barely
visible at the 10-meter (33-foot) resolution of the satellite. The
scoria cones surrounding the fissure are black, as is the lava flow
extending to the northeast. White volcanic gases escape from the vent
and erupting lava, while a steam plume rises where the hot lava meets
snow. (The bright green color along the edge of the lava flow is an
artifact of the sensor.): image by NASA Earth Observatory/Robert Simmon (NASA), 24 March 2010
