100% agree with you. I don't know why the countries that call themselves civilized won't intervene. Is it because they are Muslims?

I don't know whether this is a true story. I want to hear Myanmar side of story too.

Conflict resolution in such a region is primitive, and I'm sure the situation is more complex than what the UN wants to report. Wasn't it the UN that said the southern Vietnamese in 1975 were facing an imminent bloodbath after the fall of Saigon?

There are 2 sides to this coin. We don't hear the other side, because minorities are always assumed to be the oppressed, an experience that purifies them or automatically elevates them to higher moral ground, according to Western mythology, while the majority are by default the oppressors and hence responsible for everything that is bad.

There never is an excuse for "ethnic cleansing" and genocide. Both sides or no.
