Quote:Aid agencies are warning of a growing humanitarian emergency in Bangladesh as Rohingya Muslims flee neighbouring Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) after an upsurge in violence.
Makeshift camps are overflowing and aid is being prevented from getting in as refugees escape from violence in Burma's Rakhine.
The situation is worsening, in just two weeks 123,000 Rohingya - mainly women children and the elderly - have crossed into Bangladesh.

Ethnic cleansing is the only description for the barbaric crimes carried out against the Rohingya minority group in Myanmar. The Rohingya are Muslims, and were denied citezenship; leaving them "stateless".
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.
