Genocide or Security

Earlier in the month I saw the Leader of Myanmar defend the actions of her country's army back in 2017 in the international court of justice in the Netherlands. 

Myanmar is a hilly country that is sandwiched between China and the Indian subcontinent bordering Bangladesh, it looks a bit like a peninsula on a peninsula in the southern Pacific ocean. 

Well you see the Rohingya people have been considered to be intruders from Bangladesh so the Myanmar government treats them like outsiders. Some of the Rohingya are considered to be terrorists so the the army attacked the entire district where the Rohingya reside and killed many of them. It is a very sad story and one that I'm not qualified to evaluate. 

December is about a leader on trial and another leader impeached and one elevated by a landslide snap election. It is very much a political Christmas period in this world.
