A minority resorts to terrorism, and after some very nasty incidents, the country's majority gets pissed off and wades into the minority no holds barred. Then Amnesty International comes in and blames the majority because they winning what the minority started. The typical leftist/humanist/progressive philosophy of supporting the eternal victim. It's nothing like the Tamils, Issue. They occupied the north of Sri Lanka for about 20 years. This was a militarized no-go zone. The Rohinga have no occupied territory, and now, no land. All land, houses and business owned by Rohinga have been seized by the government. Most Rohinga now live in camps, where they're routinely taken away for "questioning", and never seen again. Comparing this to a civil war is surreal. Its very much like the Tamil situation. They allowed their fanatics to start hostilities and lost. And most definitely Amnesty International sides with them, simply because they are a minority. The fact that they are a minority amongst a host of separatist ethnic minorities shows how the Burmese situation is nothing like the Sri Lankan civil war. Of course Amnesty International supports political minorities. These are the majority of people tortured, killed and falsely detained. We all agree the Burmese actions are excessive but we haven't heard your thoughts on 'why them'.? Did you read my comparison of the two ethnic minorities in Viet? What are your thought on the Saudi and Paki factor of training camps? I didn't think your comparison has anything to do with the Burmese situation, Gordon. Why the Rohinga? Do you mean, why seize their property, round them up into camps where they have no income or food supply, and when they flee for the border, shoot them and set fire to them? That's a hard one, Gordon. Are you saying we should blame Rohinga families based on the Burmese government's treatment of them? Thousands of Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Myanmar are trying to cross the border with Bangladesh, Bangladeshi security officials say, as fresh fighting erupted in Myanmar's north-western Rakhine state. Key points 98 people have died since fresh fighting began on Friday (local time) About 3,000 Rohingya Muslims have arrived at the Naf River separating Bangladesh and Myanmar and are trying to cross over Myanmar's Government blames "extremist Bengali terrorists" for violence The death toll from widespread attacks staged by Rohingya insurgents on Friday has climbed to 98, including nearly 80 insurgents and 12 members of the security forces, the Government said, prompting it to evacuate staff and villagers from some areas. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-27/rohingya-muslims-flee-myanmar-to-bangladesh-96-dead/8846566 That was 2 weeks ago. And for the sake of balance, lets quote from a Paki news source. December 15, 2016 A group of Rohingya Muslims that attacked Myanmar border guards in October is headed by people with links to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, the International Crisis Group (ICG) said on Thursday, citing members of the group. The coordinated attacks on October 9 killed nine policemen, and sparked a crackdown by security forcesRohingya who have fought in other conflicts, as well as Pakistanis or Afghans, gave clandestine training to villagers in northern Rakhine over two years ahead of the attacks, it said.[url] https://tribune.com.pk/story/1263900/myanmars-rohingya-insurgency-links-saudi-ar abia-pakistan-report/[/url]
