The Rohingya are as far from home today as they were three years ago today when they were violently expelled from their homeland. 

Exactly three years ago today, Myanmar soldiers, accompanied by local Buddhist militias, launched a wave of attacks on Rohingya villages in the northwest corner of the southeast Asian country. More than a million Rohingya genocide survivors, most fled in the 2017 violence, find themselves dislocated in what has become a never-ending road to justice for the world’s most persecuted religious minority.

Comment: There's growing evidence the 

military junta in Myanmar is using its 

ground offensive against separatists as 

a pretext to 'clean out,' the remaining Rohingya,

writes CJ Werleman.

Last week, a Myanmar military helicopter attacked a Rohingya Muslim village in Rakhine state, leaving as many 30 dead and dozens more injured.
