YANGON, RABU — After staying silent for a long time, Myanmarese Foreign Minister and State Counselor Aung San SuuKyi issued a statement on Wednesday (6/9) regarding the condition of the Rohingya people in Rakhine. Suu Kyi condemned the spread of disinformation and underlined that the Myanmarese government protected all Rakhine people.

A statement from the Myanmarese authority, including from Suu Kyi as an influential figure in the country, had long been awaited by the international community since armed violence broke out at the end of August and the Rohingya people fled to Bangladesh.
