Rohingya Muslims: Myanmar and Emergency People

rohingya muslims: Since August, more than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims and other minorities have made the perilous journey from Myanmar into Bangladesh to avoid what the United Nations has called a case of textbook ethnic cleansing, and the world's fastest growing refugee crisis and a major humanitarian emergency, according to CTV. People are so deeply traumatized and hurt by what's happened, said Rae, who was appointed special envoy to Myanmar on Oct. 23. I'd like to be able to say these things are unimaginable, but unfortunately, in the world we live in today, they're imaginable, the former Ontario premier and prominent Liberal told CTV's Daniele Hamamdjian. Without cameras and staff present, Rae met with 12 Rohingya women who shared their experiences in Myanmar's Rakhine state. Rae says the nature of these harrowing stories has been consistent. He says the refugees detailed horrific violence including sexual assault, aerial bombings, beheadings and attacks on children with machetes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
