Pakistani Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai urged Nobel laurate and Myanmar’s first State Counsellor, Aung San Suu Kyi to condemn the horrific condition of the Rohingya muslims
.
Malala’s comment comes in the wake the ongoing humanitarian crisis where more than 90,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh due to the ongoing episodes of violence against them in Myanmar last month.

In the statement that was posted on Twitter, Malala Yousafzai called out to the authorities to put a stop to the violence on Rohingyas. She has also requested other countries to follow Bangladesh’s steps and provide shelter and food to the Rohingyas.

The cases of violence against Rohingya Muslims in Buddhist majority Myanmar is one of the biggest challenges Aung San Suu Kyi’s government will face.

The clashes between Myanmar forces and Rohingya Muslims began on August 25, after Rohingya insurgents launched an attack on dozens of police posts and an army base. Counter operations have since killed over 400 Rohingyas.

While the authorities blame Rohingya Muslims for burning of houses and civilian deaths in Myanmar, Rohingyas
fleeing to the other side of the border and the Rights watch claim that well planned attacks are being carried out against them.
