In Myanmar Pope Calls For Unity And Tolerance But Doesn't Mention Rohingya : The Two
Suu Kyi
"The arduous process of peace-building and national reconciliation can only advance through a commitment to justice and respect for human rights " the pope said after Myanmar's nominal leader  Aung San Suu Kyi had made an address.
Francis  who has spoken forcefully and passionately in the past of the plight of the world's displaced and persecuted minorities  met with  Suu Kyi  and was to have also met separately with the country's powerful military chief and Buddhist monks.
 Suu Kyi  won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for  her  long campaign for democracy – much of it spent under house arrest. But although  she  has no direct authority over the country's military   Suu Kyi  has come under intense international pressure for not denouncing the army's crackdown.
Since the crackdown began in August  refugees have poured across the border into Bangladesh carrying with them stories of brutality  including beatings  shootings and rape. Many bear the physical scars of abuse to back up their claims. Suu Kyi has remained largely silent on the alleged atrocities and Myanmar's military has denied they've taken place.
