The most persecuted people on earth

Aung San Suu Kyi, once a symbol of hope for Myanmar, faces criticism for her handling of the Rohingya crisis. Despite winning a landslide election in 2015, her failure to address the persecution of the Rohingya minority has led to international condemnation. The Rohingya, a stateless group in Myanmar, have faced decades of violence and discrimination. Under Suu Kyi's leadership, the situation worsened, with increased military aggression and human rights abuses. While Suu Kyi's political power is limited by the military-drafted constitution, her silence on the issue has sparked global outrage. Calls for her to take a firm stance on minority rights continue.
