The Rohingya Genocide: How Geopolitics Have Brought the Crisis to a Standstill

"After a careful and thorough analysis of available facts, it is clear that the situation in northern Rakhine state constitutes ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya,” said US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on November 22, 2017. His statement came months after the August outbreak of violence from the Myanmar military against the ethnic Rohingya group from a state in the north of the country. Human rights groups had been calling for action for some time and criticizing US indecision, and at last, the words had been said. Not merely a crisis, or unrest, but ethnic cleansing. Crimes against humanity.

Facebook Doesn’t Understand How Dangerous Its Megaphone Is

Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday gave a passionate defense of how Facebook Inc. and the rest of the internet are essential tools for the free expression that is essential in a healthy democracy. I agree with this in principle, as I imagine most Americans would.

The dark side of Facebook and the mass-market internet is not necessarily the ideas behind them. It is how those principles can wittingly or unwittingly be subverted when principle meets reality. The question is whether the good that comes from anything — Facebook, the automobile, electricity — outweighs the inevitable negative effects and whether it’s possible to mitigate the latter while accentuating the former.

In August 2017, hundreds of thousands of the Muslim-minority group were forced to flee their homes in Myanmar amid a brutal campaign of violence branded as ethnic cleansing and possible genocide by the United Nations.

It has been more than two years since “clearance operations” by Myanmar’s security forces, the Tatmadaw, forced more than 700,000 Rohingya across the border to neighbouring Bangladesh.
