Save the Rohingyas
Thousands of Rohingyas are fleeing Myanmar as they are being systematically driven out of their homes by state and non-state actors. The social, electronic and print media are filled with photos and reports showing the brutality that they are being exposed to.
The ethnic majority in Myanmar, including those in power, consider the Rohingyas as outsiders-alien to the land of Myanmar. This is the justification that they are using to oppress the Rohingyas.
In the meanwhile, one wonders why the international community has remained so silent in regards to this assault on the Rohingyas.
We hope that the UN will play a key role in addressing the issue at hand and end the persecution of Rohingyas in Myanmar.
