End military campaign against the Rohingya Muslims – US, UN tells Myanmar’s government

United States Secretary General, Antonio Guterres and the UN Security Council have called on Myanmar’s government to end its military campaign against the Rohingya Muslims.

The Security Council members met behind closed doors on Wednesday at the request of Sweden and Britain to discuss the crisis.

Antonio Guterres described the situation for the Rohingya refugees as catastrophic and completely unacceptable.

About 370 thousands of Myanmar’s minority Rohingya population have fled the country’s western state of Rakhine into neighbouring Bangladesh in recent weeks.
