Reuters reveals new evidence shows how Myanmar’s military planned the Rohingya purge

Reuters took readers on a deep dive into how senior Burmese military commanders held secret talks about operations against the minority Rohingya Muslim population. In official records seen by Reuters, commanders discussed ways to insert spies into Rohingya villages, resolved to demolish Muslim homes and mosques and laid plans for what they clinically referred to as “area clearance.” While the Burmese military faces grave allegations under international law, there is no easy road to convictions.
