I feel like this is the type of attack that has no excuse.  Maybe the troops dislike the religion of muslims but this is no way to go about things just attacking them in this manner. The reporter that was fired for reporting on this issue has my respect, she tried to bring it to light and lost her job trying to let the voice of these women to be spoken.

This is a sad story about a predominantly Muslim community in Burma that is fighting with the government and military of the region. They are under constant fear of attack. There are roadblocks so they can't get food in or get out to get food. The prices of goods that are within the area have also risen drastically. I can't imagine having to live in this type of situation.

I don't really care about this issue, in part because I don't even understand it.  All these ethnic and religious conflicts with displaced people, governments cracking down, and terrorist groups--they just tire me after a while.  I do tend to agree with the idea that these are internal matters, not international matters.  Burma has a right to independence and to protect itself against deemed threats.  The UN always wants to come in and defend the refugees and criticize the governments for not doing enough or for cracking down too hard on perceived threats.  Why should a government not have the right to defend itself against existential threats?  For the sake of some do-nothing, pompous, self-righteous group from the UN?  Screw that.

An article like this just make you so glad to live in the united states. Where everything is regulated and we have laws. I can not imagine living in a place where the governemnt and law can do anything they please without consequences. Soldiers raping women burning down houses all with out real cause. Any aid workers and doctors are treated very poorly so theres not enough to go around how does this civilzation survive. Crazy how far behind and uncivilized some places still are in 2019. I think more light needs to be shown on this as real people are hurting. Everyone deserves to feel safe in there country.
