i see people supporintg a act from myanmar. i think you guys should know the truh about mynamar

in late 2016 when Myanmar's armed forces and police started a major crackdown on Rohingya people in Rakhine State in the country's northwestern region. The Burmese military have been accused of ethnic cleansing and genocide by various United Nations agencies, International Criminal Court officials, human rights groups, journalists, and governments including the United States.[12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]  The UN[18] [19] [20]  has found evidence of wide-scale human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings; gang rapes; arson of Rohingya villages, businesses, and schools; and infanticides, which the Burmese government dismisses as "exaggerations".[21] [22]

The Rohingya genocide is a series of ongoing persecutions by the Myanmar government against the Muslim Rohingya people which consists of two phases, the first that began in October 2016 and ended in January 2017 and the second phase which began in August 2017 and is ongoing as of now. The crisis has forced over a million Rohingyas to flee to neighboring countries, most of whom have fled to Bangladesh with others going to India, Thailand, Malaysia and other parts of South and Southeast Asia. The largest wave of Rohingyas to flee Myanmar occurred in 2017 and resulted in the largest human exodus in Asia since the Vietnam War.[23]  The 2016 military crackdown on the Rohingya people has drawn criticism from the UN (which cited possible "crimes against humanity"), the human rights group Amnesty International, the U.S. Department of State, the government of neighboring Bangladesh, and the government of Malaysia (where many Rohingya refugees have fled). The Myanmar leader and State Counsellor (de facto head of government) and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has particularly been criticized for her inaction and silence over the issue and for doing little to prevent military abuses.

The Rohingya genocide began on 25 August 2017 when the Myanmar military forces and local Buddhist extremists started attacking the Rohingya people and committing atrocities against them in the country's north-west Rakhine state. The atrocities included attacks on Rohingya people and locations, looting and burning down Rohingya villages and shops, mass killing of Rohingya civilians, gang rapes, and other sexual violence.
