The Myanmar massacre, a classic example of state-sponsored terrorism, was largely and conveniently ignored by the champions of human rights. Only recently, President Obama visited Myanmar and the US established ties with the country’s dictatorial regime. The international and national media are quick to report and show images of Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan but they are silent on the persecution going on in Myanmar. The UN, the OIC and the international community needs to wake up and take immediate steps to halt the bloodbath.
