How complicit is the UK in Myanmar's violence against Rohingya Muslims?
Myanmar's security forces have long been attacking Rohingyas and torching their villages since October 2016, in a bid to push them out of the western state of Rakhine.
The attacks have increased since August 25, with State Counselor Aung San Suu Ky ignoring international demands to call off the operation. Thousands of Rohingyas have already fled their homeland to take refuge in Bangladesh. Many people have died in the dangerous boat crossing on the Naf River, which separates.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has been urged by over 150 MPs and members of the House of Lords to suspend Britain's training of the Burmese armed forces given the military offensive against Rohingya Muslim civilians.
However, while Johnson called on Aung San Suu Kyi, the acting Burmese Prime Minister, to “stop the violence” that has broken out against Rohingya Muslims in the country, at the same time he praised her as “one of the most inspiring figures of our age.” The public therefore has received mixed messages about who or what to support in Myanmar.
