Rohingya Crisis: Suu Kyi Does Not Fear Global ‘Scrutiny’

Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi says she does not fear “international scrutiny” of her government’s handling of the growing Rohingya crisis.

It was her first national address on the situation in northern Rakhine state that has caused more than 400,000 Rohingya to cross into Bangladesh.

She said she wanted to speak to Muslims to find out why they are leaving.

Ms Suu Kyi had been heavily criticised by the international community.

The latest violence was sparked by an armed attack blamed on Rohingya militants on police posts in August.

The security crackdown in response has been called ethnic cleansing by the UN.
