Myanmar Officials: Neighbouring Bangladesh and Islamic Cooperation

myanmar officials: Gambia's justice minister and attorney general, Abubacarr Marie Tambadou, told The Associated Press he wanted to send a clear message to Myanmar and to the rest of the international community that the world must not stand by and do nothing in the face of terrible atrocities that are occurring around us, according to CTV. It is a shame for our generation that we do nothing while genocide is unfolding right before our own eyes. Gambia filed the case on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Myanmar officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. More than 700,000 Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh to escape what has been called an ethnic cleansing campaign involving mass rapes, killings and the torching of homes. Myanmar's military began a harsh counterinsurgency campaign against the Rohingya in August 2017 in response to an insurgent attack. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
