Rohingya killings continue
The plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar has once again hit the headlines: A fresh wave of violence has forced hundreds of Rohingya Muslims to flee to neighboring country Bangladesh. The crackdown followed militant attacks on security posts in Rakhine state. Myanmar authorities blame the violence on Rohingya, claiming 1,000 insurgents were involved in the violence against government forces. Reports say government soldiers have shot indiscriminately at Rohingyas, killing unarmed civilians, including women and children. The number of casualties of the latest round of violence against Rohingya Muslims has sparked a wave of anger and desperation: Some activists say as many as 800 members of the Muslim minority, including dozens of women and children, have been killed in the violence.

And now 7 months into his term, the US president has intensified his efforts to derail the international agreement that was unanimously endorsed by the UN Security Council. Trump’s close ties with Saudi Arabia and Israel - two strong opponents of the deal - is said to be strengthening his anti-Iran stance.
