At least 1,000 Rohingya Muslims camp ashore hoping to flee to Bangladesh

Around 1,000 Rohingya are waiting on Rakhine's beach on the Bay of Bengal, hoping to flee to Bangladesh in a boat. “We don't plan to go back [to the villages]. We had only one plan while we left, that is, not to go back," says Sauli Mullahe, a 30-year old Rohingya Muslim. Since Aug. 25. at least 600,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh to escape Myanmar's persecution. They've been killed, raped, tortured, and their homes have been set ablaze by the Myanmar army in what the UN has called an “ethnic cleansing."
