The world must stop Myanmar’s savagery against Rohingya...

.If the world has a conscience, it will do something about the unconscionable genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority community in Myanmar, which has abdicated its duty as a nation.

The latest scrutiny of the Myanmar government was sparked by the recent flight of more than 123,000 Rohingya who crossed border into Bangladesh.

The name of Nobel Peace Prize Winner Aung San Suu Kyi has been blackened irreparably by her refusal as de facto head of the Myanmar government to stop the violence against a defenseless people who have tried to do nothing more than to live in the area they have occupied for hundreds of years. Her 21 years of house arrest in defiance of the junta that ruled the country until 2012 have been rendered meaningless.

This is only the latest incident in the long-running discrimination that has been perpetrated against the Rohingya. Ethnic-cleansing, discrimination, bigotry and violence have been visited on the Rohingya Muslims for decades. The misery they endure has materialized in every aspect of their lives. Although they had been living peacefully in Myanmar for many generations, they are still considered illegal immigrants in the place they call home. Full story...
