Queen Of Jordan Visits Rohingya Camp, Condemns Violence
Jordan’s Queen Rania visited Rohingya refugee camps on Monday and called for a stronger response from the international community to the plight of the Rohingya Muslims who fled to Bangladesh to escape “systematic persecution” in Myanmar.
“One has to ask, why is the plight of this Muslim minority group being ignored? Why has the systematic prosecution been allowed to play out for so long,” she said after touring the camps.
“It leads one to wonder if the tables were turned, and these acts of violence were committed by Muslims if the world’s response would have been as muted as the response that we’re seeing here today,” she added.
Some 600,000 people have crossed the border since August 25 when insurgent attacks on security posts were met by a counter-offensive by the Myanmar army in Rakhine state which the United Nations has called “ethnic cleansing”.
