We need to call on Burma's leaders to protect these
minorities, not to assist in the
persecution. We need to call on the Government of Burma to immediately
give humanitarian groups access to the Rohingya who are trapped in
Burma, in what some have described as concentration camps. We need to
call on Burma's leaders to provide the hundreds of thousands of
Rohingya refugees who have been forced to flee their homes and villages
with a safe and assisted right of return. In addition, the Burmese Government--the Burmese nation--needs to
figure out how to end the root causes of this conflict--an age-old
ethnic and religious conflict--and find a way to embrace the diversity
within their nation. Certainly, this is not the first time that the
tensions have erupted into violence.
