What about the Rohingyas? He means democracy and human rights for the ethnic Burmese people. The ethnic minorities (Katchin, Shan, Rohingyas etc) are not regarded as the same species, except when the army goes out to rape their women.

What about the Rohingyas? The Rohingyas started an armed rebellion and were demanding their own state. In a place where they were illegally present, most of them. If anyone has been an abuser of human rights in the Rakhine, it has been the Roros, or Rohingyas as they call themselves. Don't believe what the MSM is feeding you.

Basically they are about tribes in remote areas being exploited for political gain by local war lords or in the case of the Rohingyas, a Muslim Jihad. Of course terrible things happen when an armed rebellion has to be put down. The Rohingyas especially were the worst in respect to committing human rights against local ethnic non-Muslims, and there is more evidence that they have committed atrocities than the local Buddhists and Hindus (etc) who they greatly outnumbered. The West wants to get their hands on the gas and oil in the Rakhine and don't like it going to China as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
