It is now two years since the Myanmar military, the Tatmadaw, descended upon Rakhine state for a renewed campaign of terror and violence against the country’s long-persecuted Rohingya Muslims, yet the world looks the other way as over a million refugees continue to eke out a pathetic existence in the squalid makeshift camps of Bangladesh’s Cox Bazar.
The UN only resorts to cosmetic measures, while the US, which likes to call itself the defender of democracy is totally indifferent to the genocide of Muslims.
The wealthy Arab states for their part, especially Saudi Arabia, uses their oil riches to kill fellow Arab Muslims in neighbouring Yemen, in addition to assisting the Zionist archenemies of Islam to carry out air raids on Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.
This has enabled the Myanmar military to commit unspeakable crimes against the Rohingya Muslims, whose men are hacked to death; children are burned alive; and women and girls raped in thousands.
The irony is that the prime culprit behind these crimes against humanity remains unpunished.
In other words, the International Criminal Court remains unmoved from taking any action against Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, let alone indict this brutal woman for war crimes and genocide.
According to reports, Suu Kyi, a former prisoner of conscience-turned-de facto head of state who still seems to be the darling of the West, unabashedly defends the Myanmar military’s brutal crimes.
Jilted by her Pakistani lover of her student days in Britain, this brutal Buddhist lady continues to fan the flames of hatred against the Rohingya Muslims.
Sun Kyi is Islamophobic as was evident during her recent visit to Hungary, where she shamelessly joined far-right Premier Viktor Orban to bemoan the "continuously growing Muslim populations” in their respective countries.
A racist to the very core, she is feted by like-minded senior officials of countries harbouring hatred of Muslims, including her fellow 1991 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jose Ramos Horta, and US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
She plays a racist role similar to the infamous Joseph Goebbels of Nazi Germany.
According to Azeem Ibrahim, author of "The Rohingyas: Inside Myanmar’s Hidden Genocide,” by providing the Myanmar generals with cover at every step, she emboldened and encouraged the military to commit the worst crimes against Muslims.
In view of these facts, will the international community, which claims to care about human rights, take action to tackle the perpetrators of genocide in Myanmar?
The question is likely to remain unanswered, since despite some mild travel bans on a few Myanmar generals, nothing whatsoever has been imposed against Suu Kyi, despite her being stripped of various awards by Amnesty International and the cities of Oxford, Edinburgh, and Paris.
These are nothing but cosmetic measures to deceive world public opinion, and will not redress the plight of Rohingya Muslims – the victims of murder, rape, torture, sexual slavery, persecution and enslavement.
Two years have passed since the mass expulsion of almost a million Myanmar Muslims from their ancestral homes, but no solution appears for the end of their plight in the squalid refugee camps of Bangladesh.
