UN's Myanmar probe report

I have been taken aback by the United Nation's recent probe report that describes “crimes of the highest order” committed by Myanmar's military forces against the country's minority Rohingya nationals.

The report documented how Myanmar's security forces systematically killed Rohingyas, gang-raped girls and women, and shot and threw children into the river or onto fire. It also described how houses were set on fire with people locked inside.

It's really “hard to fathom” how human beings can be so despicable and gruesome in a civilised world. It is time the world woke up and worked together to hold those responsible—for all that the Rohingyas have been through—to account.
