Rohingya genocide: The world can't help until Myanmar changes its ways

Myanmar has almost zero respect and care for international norms and diplomacy; obstructed UN-funded World Food Program attempts to provide aid to vulnerable people

After two weeks of extreme violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, where at least 400 people have been killed and 270,000 Rohingyas have fled their homes, the country’s de facto leader, Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, finally spoke up to acknowledge the crisis. But to the disappointment of several international human rights agencies, she didn’t oppose the army’s actions – and even described recent events as “a huge iceberg of misinformation” in a phone call with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an.

This puts her at odds with a growing international consensus on what’s happening.
