Reports from the UN, and major media organizations are giving grim reports about the situation; with ethnic cleansing dropping its shadow over the genocide the native army is carrying against Muslim civilians.
In this case, there is no "Al-Qaeda or ISIS" like it is in Iraq or Syria. The victims are literally civilian women, children and elderly. Children and women are being raped and killed. Evidence -that is the dead bodies of Rohingya- is being burnt.
Why is the world silent about this?
Despite the UN's official statement:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/world...anmar.html
Silence creates more rebound. When a person dies in the west, the whole world cries. But aren't these Rohingya children worth our tears too?
Just like Rwanda, the world is silent. Wars take place around oil; but they never take place around innocents being raped and killed.

It's not "ethnic cleansing".
It's fucking genocide!
I hate that PC sounding term.
I have to wonder, though, if any of the Muslim countries will do anything to help these people?
Aung San Suu Kyi apparently thinks the term "ethnic cleansing" is too strong a phrase to describe what's happening. Not only that, she feels that "both sides" are full of fear.
Yeah.
