Twitter Account: Rohingya Refugees and Suu Kyi

twitter account: Discussed importance of Burmese authorities in carrying out full & independent investigation into the violence in Rakhine & urgent need to create the right conditions for Rohingya refugees to return to their homes in Rakhine, Johnson wrote on his Twitter account of his meeting with Suu Kyi, who also serves as foreign minister, according to Metro News. The meeting took place in Naypyidaw, Myanmar's capital. Johnson arrived in Myanmar from Bangladesh, where he visited with Rohingya refugees. The Rohingya have long faced severe discrimination and were the targets of violence in 2012 that killed hundreds and drove about 140,000 people predominantly Rohingya from their homes to camps for the internally displaced, where most remained until last year's fresh violence, the scale of which has led to accusations that Myanmar's army carried out ethnic cleansing or even genocide. The government refuses to recognize the Rohingya as a legitimate native ethnic minority. Myanmar's government has denied carrying out any large-scale or organized abuses against the Rohingya.
