U.S. to declare Myanmar army committed genocide against Rohingya

The Biden administration has made a formal determination that the Myanmar military has committed genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority, a U.S. official and a source familiar with the decision said Sunday.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to make the announcement Monday morning at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, where he is scheduled to speak about Myanmar, also known as Burma, after he tours an exhibition called “Burma’s Path to Genocide.”

Since August 2017, more than 700,000 members of the mostly Muslim Rohingya group have fled Buddhist-majority Myanmar for neighboring Bangladesh, where they live in crowded refugee camps. The refugees have accused Myanmar security forces of killings, mass rape and arson to drive them out. The military denies the allegations.

The U.S. had previously described the Myanmar military’s campaign against the Rohingya as “ethnic cleansing” and imposed sanctions on top generals. Lawmakers and rights groups have been calling for the genocide designation for years.

With the Japanese invasion and withdrawal of the British administration, tensions in Arakan before the war erupted. The war caused inter-communal conflicts between the Arakanese Muslims and Buddhists. Muslims fled from Japanese-controlled and Buddhist-majority regions to Muslim-dominated northern Arakan with many being killed. In return, a "reverse ethnic cleansing" was carried out. The Muslim attacks caused the Buddhists to flee to southern Arakan. Attacks by Muslim villagers on Buddhists also caused reprisals. With the consolidation of their position throughout northern Arakan, the Rohingyas retaliated against Japanese collaborators, particularly Buddhists. Though unofficial, specific undertaking were made to Arakanese Muslims after World War II. V Force officers like Andrew Irwin expressed enthusiasm to award Muslims for loyalty. Rohingya leaders believed that the British had promised them a "Muslim National Area" in present-day Maungdaw District. They were also apprehensive of a future Buddhist-dominated government. In 1946, the leaders made calls for annexation of the territory by Pakistan. Some also called for an independent state. The requests to the British government were however ignored.[66][67][68]

After the colonial period, the first mass exodus from what was then East Pakistan took place towards the 1970s.[69] In the 1950s, a "political and militant movement" rose to create "an autonomous Muslim zone", and the militants used Rohingya to describe themselves, marking the "modern origins" of the term.[70] The persecution of Rohingyas in Myanmar dates back to the 1970s.[71] The term "Rohingya" has gained currency since 1990s after "the second exodus" of "a quarter-million people from Bangladesh to Rakhine" in the early 1990s.[69]

The Rohingya were denied citizenship in 1982 by the government of Myanmar, which sees them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

I guess we all have the seeds of hatred and violence within us, religion notwithstanding.

For sure, I don't care if you are a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or an atheist. Darkness can cross all human souls if ethics and morality are not cultivated

"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart.” --> Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
 
There is no all-good religion. Religions are scarily appearing to be identity groups for the insecure.

Better off with plain simple good values. Be a citizen of the world community of humans. Together, we are stronger.

organized religions typically become worldly power structures, having little to do with their founding principles.

Same with marxism and atheism, except marxists and atheists are even worse in their body count.

All of the traditional religions have value within them, rejecting them is a war on human consciousness.

His Holiness Dalai Lama and Buddhist in general are concerned
with individual -not some power structure.
Tibetan Buddhism which is intertwined with Tibet government before China take over would be an exception

In Burma's case it's an ethic conflict- that breaks along religious fault lines

To the degree that one ascends the power structure of a religious organization, he generally comes moreso into conflict with the founding principles of that religion.

ask your local fallen masonic priest/preacher/globalist traitor to humanity.

Reject sacerdotal systems.
