Myanmar’s Rohingya Genocide Is Aided By Friends In High Places

For the ongoing dehumanization of the Rohingya people, many government and agencies are responsible. In November, Nafeez Ahmed, an investigative journalist and international security scholar, accused the U.S. and the United Kingdom of encouraging investment in Myanmar in the name of “promoting democracy.” This encouragement, Ahmed argues, has continued in spite of Myanmar’s human rights violations, and despite the fact that the Rohingya have been denied the right to vote since February because they protested against their treatment.
This is also how Kit O'Connell sees the problem. He says, "The United States supports Myanmar, despite the atrocities against its Muslim minority, in the hopes of accessing its oil reserves and putting increased pressure on China."
Many of us are unaware of Saudi connection to Myanmar. He quotes Ahmed, "“Saudi Arabia is a major player in the Myanmar pipeline. In 2011, the Saudi’s Aramco signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to supply China 200,000 barrels of crude a day through the China-Myanmar pipeline. In return, China would help develop Saudi’s Yanbu refinery on the Red Sea coast.”
And then there is also the Israeli connection when it comes to weapons.
