When a Bengali speak about the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, you will often hear statements like "the world watched while a genocide was unleashed on us killing millions". Well, now is the Rohingyas genocide and the world watches again. Worst still, Bangladesh is watching too, as if they cannot remember their own suffering when staring into the eyes of crying Rohingyas. How sad is this world?
The Rohingyas are the most persecuted minority according the the UN. They have lived in Rakhine state of Myanmar for centuries. They are as Burmese as Aung San Suu Kyi, yet Burma's majority Buddhists have unleashed a wave of violence and Aung San Suu Kyi stays silent. How sad is this world?
