“In 2017, the ethnic conflict in Rakhine state worsened after Rohingya militants launched deadly attacks on more than 30 police posts.”
Surprised they even bothered to mention this, considering the rest of the article tries to convince readers that the big, bad, military just abuses Rohingya for sport.
“More than 700,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees escaped into neighboring Bangladesh. A United Nations report declared the Myanmar military was carrying out genocide.”
If it were genocide, those 700,000 would be DEAD, not pushed into another country - or perhaps this author can’t afford a dictionary?
“But Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and symbol for the democracy movement in Myanmar, acted indifferent.”
Yep, she didn’t see a problem in fighting terrorists...so what’s the point?
Burma is a truly beautiful country. It’s too bad its run by Burmans. It isn’t just the Rohingya who suffer (and their invasion has parallels to what is happening on the USA southern border), its the Karen, Kachin, Wa, Shan, Pedaung, and other minorities that suffer as well.
