I would like tentatively to share the contents of the article carried in the Radio Free Asia, with the title “The US has declared a Rohingya genocide. Does it matter?”:
On 21 March 2022, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made a formal determination that Myanmar’s military committed genocide against the Rohingya population in 2017.
He described the attacks as “widespread and systematic”, “with a clear and premeditated intention to destroy the Rohingya population.”
This went beyond the U.S. government’s previous findings that the military had committed ethnic cleansing in the process of driving over 740,000 Rohingya across the border into neighboring Bangladesh.
