In November,
Secretary Tillerson called the violence against the Rohingya ``ethnic
cleansing,'' holding the military responsible. Some have urged that Aung San Suu Kyi does not control the military
and there is a danger that the military would use the present crisis as
a way to dismantle the civilian government. It has also been said that
the civilian government is working within a deep traditional bias
against the Rohingyas, and some see them as illegal immigrants from
Bangladesh. Others point out the pressure on the civilian government could lead
to Burma moving closer to the Chinese. Still others point out that
talks about Rohingyas returning to Burma must be afforded time to work
out, and the process has only begun.
