Rohingya cleansing: International silence deafening

It is quite appalling that despite the continuous reports of killing, raping, burning down of villages of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine by the Myanmar security forces over last one month, there is still no global outrage.

The United Nations, United States, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and some others have voiced concern, but world governments seem still not so vocal in forcing the country to avert further bloodshed. Is it to give more time to newly installed government of the National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung Sung Suu Kyi, that won a landslide victory in the elections late last year, ending more than two decades of brutal military rule.  (Courtesy of thedailystar.net)
