"The pogrom resembles those crimes perpetrated against Jews.... The military junta of Myanmar torches Rohingya villages, stops aid to Rohingya camps, and restricts Rohingyas' movement.... [The United Nations] secretary-general ... must send peace-keeping forces to Rakhine State.... The Security Council should consider imposing economic sanctions on Myanmar's government as well.... Further bloodshed must be stopped and this manmade crisis resolved. "The hypocrisy of Myanmar's de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is astounding," states an editorial.
