Letters to the Editor

We must protect the Rohingyas

The Rohingya crisis is reminiscent of the chilling memory of Muslims in Bosnia and Tutsis in Rwanda falling victim to two of history's bloodiest murder campaigns, in the name of ethnic cleansing, in 1994. It is shocking to see history repeating itself in an age where democracy is iconised. How can Madam Suu Kyi abdicate her global standing and stay silent on such dehumanising acts that she once fought against with the whole world behind her? We appeal to the world's conscience to stop this genocide in Myanmar.
