Exclusive: Focus on resolving difficulties in Rakhine rather than exaggerating them, says Suu Kyi

Amid international accusations that the Myanmar military is leading a crackdown against the Rohingya Muslim minority in Rakhine, Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi said she wants to make the situation better.

Asked if the problem is intractable, she said no. “We have managed to keep the situation under control and to calm it down,” she stated.

“But I would appreciate it so much if the international community would help us to maintain peace and stability and to make progress in building better relations between the two communities instead of always drumming up calls for, well, for bigger fires of resentment, if you like.” (Courtesy of channelnewsasia.com)
