Story: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...-one-many-disasters-rohingya-refugees-n830351
Violent rape just one of many disasters for Rohingya refugees. “I have had women come in who were gang-raped or brutally raped and are now recovering from fistulas but I have never heard so many stories of so many women being publicly raped and then killed,” Aerlyn Pfeil
"Groups such as MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders) say the Burmese military is using systematic rape to help drive away the country’s Muslims, known as Rohingya. About 630,000 Rohingya have fled Buddhist-dominated Myanmar into Bangladesh to escape what the United Nations has called ethnic cleansing. They’re living in squalid refugee camps where groups like MSF are trying to keep them fed and cared for."
Reminds me of the U.S. after Vietnam. Life in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge Regime in 1975, where the Khmer Rouge forced millions of people into the countryside to undertake agricultural work. Two million Cambodians died during the evacuations, nearly a quarter of the country's then population. The U.S. did nothing.
So, let's see, not Cambodia or Myanmar, but for El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Haiti, Iraq, Somalia, Kuwait, South Korea, and Yugoslavia it was ok. What is the 'litmus test'? Oil, politics, and strategic location? Men, women and children being tortured and killed were never really part of the reason now were they? Obama made that clear in Syria and Iraq.
How about bombing the shit out of the Burmese Army? Would it really be all that hard? ...and again, the fucking UN can't be counted on for shit. Why don't the British, French or Germans do something? Why isn't ISIS involved? These are Muslims being killed. World reaction is disgusting.
