Aung San Suu Kyi has denied that attacks on Muslims in Myanmar amount to ethnic cleansing. But she says Myanmar has a long way to go before becoming fully democratic.
The United Nations General Assembly has called for an arms embargo on Myanmar in response to the February coup by the military junta. In a rare act of defiance, Myanmar's UN ambassador also condemned the coup.

Shukkur, a muslim rohingya, alleges he was taken inside a building and
beaten by christian Rohingya in Kutupalong refugee camp, 26th January,
2020.
On the night of 26th January, violence broke out in Bangladesh’s Kutupalong refugee camp between christian and muslim Rohingya. As a result, several christians required immediate hospitalisation, and seventeen christian families within Kutupalong have been removed to the transit camp ( a transit centre where refugees stay prior to allocation to a particular camp). Tensions have long simmered between the small christian community (approximately 1500 strong), and their muslim compatriots. Occasionally these tensions spill over into violence. According to the christians, this episode is the worst in the history of Rohingya christian/muslim relations.

H.E. Mr Chen Hai, Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar, gave an interview to the Myanmar correspondent and expounded China's stance on the Rakhine issue. The interview was broadcast on MRTV and MITV. Below is the transcript of his response.
Ambassador Chen said that the Rakhine issue is a complicated issue with specific historical background and realistic roots. China is a friendly neighbour to both Myanmar and Bangladesh. China hopes that Myanmar and Bangladesh can properly resolve the issue through bilateral friendly consultations, striving to improve the livelihood of the people from Myanmar and Bangladesh who live and work in the neighbouring areas of Rakhine State and make this area a bond of friendship and cooperation between the two countries. I hope that the international society can also play a positive role in this regard.
