The United States' top official for foreign aid issued a firm and
emotional warning Thursday to Myanmar about the lack of progress over
how it treats the Rohingya and other ethnic minority groups.
Two years after violent attacks by Myanmar security forces and local
militias against the Muslim ethnic minority killed thousands and sent
more than 750,000 across the border as refugees,
little has changed on the ground in Myanmar's northwest Rakhine state.
Critics say it's because the U.S., the United Nations and others have
not done enough to pressure the government.
"They're not on the right path and a democratic journey, and I worry a
great deal," Mark Green, administrator of the U.S. Agency for
International Development, told ABC News in an interview.
