U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed concern over the escalating violence in Myanmar after reports and residents of the country's western Rakhine state said military airstrikes killed at least 25 members of the country’s Muslim Rohingy...ARCHIVO - El secretario general de las Naciones Unidas, Antonio Guterres, se dirige a la 78ª sesión de la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, el 19 de septiembre de 2023.
The U.N. chief “condemns all forms of violence and reiterates his call for the protection of civilians, including aid workers in accordance with international humanitarian law, for the cessation of hostilities, and humanitarian access,” said Guterres' deputy spokesperson, Farhan Haq, in a statement on Monday.
The Rohingya village of Thada is about 340 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, the country’s second largest city. However, almost 90% of Myanmar’s people are Buddhist, especially the Burman majority, which constitutes the Southeast Asian nation’s ruling class. Members of the Rohingya minority have long been persecuted in Buddhist-majority Myanmar. About 740,000 fled from Myanmar to refugee camps in Bangladesh when the military in August 2017 launched a brutal counterinsurgency campaign in response to attacks in Rakhine by a guerrilla group claiming to represent the Rohingya.
Until late last year, the Arakan Army had maintained a cease-fire in Rakhine with the military government but after the fighting began in the northeast, it launched an offensive on its home ground.
