Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi accused of 'legitimising genocide of Rohingya Muslims'(Independent UK) 'They will kill us': The Rohingya refugees fleeing torture and rape in Myanmar(CNN) 'Mass destruction' of ethnic Rohingya villages underway in Burma, human rights group warns(Telegraph UK) Myanmar’s War on the Rohingya(NYT)
That whole region is like the old Yugoslavia after the breakup. Look at Pakistan and Bangladesh and the ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims there, now the Myanmar monks are trying to do the same to the Muslims. fvcked up shit, Suu Kyi needed the votes from the people that follow the monks, so she looks the other way. Buddism can be as intolerant as the other religions (and communist atheist states were/are also very intolerant towards religions). http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/21/w...yanmar-buddhists-wary-of-muslim-minority.html Edit: Note the date of the article, this has been going on for a while, and it is getting worse.
Also lets remember Sri Lanka also had Buddhist monks inciting hate against the Tamil (Hindu) people there during their civil wars. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/21/w...yanmar-buddhists-wary-of-muslim-minority.html
Currently the northeastern Indian state of Assam has a ongoing campaign to push out immigrants from Bangladesh. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...f93162-b0c5-11e6-bc2d-19b3d759cfe7_story.html
I know Assam has a high Buddhist population, are they majority Buddhist? I know they are not for the most part ethnically Indians, so they have those issues with Delhi. The article is about the Hindu government, Modi is pretty much a Hindu Nationalist, not much different than Trump. Edit: I was way wrong about the Buddhist population in Assam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assam#Religions
There is really no such thing as ethnically Indian. As for religion in Assam I don't think any religion has a majority.
1. True, India has tons of ethnic groups. 2. According to wiki (could be wrong of course) 60% are Hindu. Man I had overestimated the Buddhist population in India. I was under the impression that some of the states in NE India were majority Buddhist, but non are, The highest I say was 13%, while at least 2 of them are majority Christian. You learn something everyday.
And Mr. Nobel Peace Prize decides its a good time to lift sanctions I hereby determine and certify, pursuant to section 570(a) of the Act, that Burma has made measurable and substantial progress in improving human rights practices and implementing democratic government. https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-pres...tion-pursuant-section-570a-foreign-operations

Surely Assad and his fascist genocide apoligst supporter will rush to defend Aung San Suu Kyi Burma says it will not let outside world investigate Rohingya 'genocide' claims http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...investigation-rohingya-genocide-a7816481.html

Genocide and cleansing green-lighted, as always, by the UN and international community whose only wish for the victims that they die quietly. Rohingyas, could you please die more moderately? https://www.dailysabah.com/columns/...ohingyas-could-you-please-die-more-moderately

"Anti-war" activists will certainly march in support of Myanmar's regime as they do for Assad. After all, if genocides is backed by Russia, it must be fine.

Putin apparently forgot to check with his attack dog Kadyrov before allowing this statement to be released. Kadyrov has been allowing pro-Rohinga demonstrations in Chechnya and throughout Russian it has been proven that opposition to Kadyrov's wishes can be deadly.
Sad to see an inspirational figure exposed as a fraud. What do we really know about the people we idolize? She was once a courageous woman who risked all for her ideals. Did she lose her courage, or does she simply not give a shit about the plight of Muslims?
Maybe all three. The older I get the more I keep to heart the biblical injunction "Put not your trust in princes"
She actually has very little power, the Constitution still gives most powers of the state to the Generals. Obviously she could still speak out and condemn the genocide, but she is helping in the attempted cover up.
