아웅산 수치 "국경이탈 난민 송환위한 확인절차 개시 용의"
Aung San Suu Kyi says she is not turning a blind eye to the violence against Muslims in Myanmar, that her government is ready to start work on repatriating refugees who've fled Rakhine.
The country's de-facto leader is under extreme scrutiny for her lack of action over what's been called a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing."
Lee Jeong-yeon has the full story.
Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi gave a nationally televised address on Tuesday afternoon in response to the ongoing crisis of the Rohingya Muslim minorities fleeing from violence in Myanmar.
She said Myanmar is "not afraid of the world's scrutiny" and that the government is not trying to abdicate its responsibility.
(English)
"We condemn all human rights violations and unlawful violence. We are committed to the restoration of peace, stability and rule of law throughout the state."
She added that she understands the concerns of the international community regarding reports of arson and the mass exodus of refugees... and that she too, is concerned... saying that in order to find out what the real problems are, all allegations must be verified with solid evidence before the government takes action.
The State Counselor also said the government is ready to start the "verification process" of repatriating the refugees at "any time" but did not specify details,... raising questions over the feasibility of this promise, as the Rohingyas have been denied citizenship by Myanmar for decades.
The televised speech came in response to heavy criticism by human rights groups who claim the State Counselor is "doing nothing" to tackle the violence that began last month against the Rohingyas, something the Myanmar military referred to as a "clearance operation" to battle rebels seeking a foothold in the country.
So far, more than 410,000 minority Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar's Rakhine State, seeking shelter at refugee camps from what the United Nations has described as 'ethnic cleansing'.
