Ethnic cleansing in Myanmar
Recently the Myanmar army carried out a planned ethnic cleansing in its Arakan province against ethnic minority, Rohingyas following a riot. The media has reported 160 deaths and 16,000 displaced and stranded Rohingyas. Many were pushed back to Myanmar by the Bangladeshi Border Force within the past few days.
As a democratic leader, Aung Sun Suu Kyi should have taken a bold step to tackle the matter. We hope the UNO and other world leaders will urge the Myanmar government to restore peace in the region and give recognition to the Rohingyas as citizens of the country.
