Just in case you needed more fuel to hate the sociopath that is Aung San Suu Kyi. She's denied ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya muslims, and now she's on to say this is all fake news designed to help the terrorists.
Rohingya crisis: Suu Kyi says 'fake news helping terrorists' (BBC)
She says there's a lot of fake news photographs going around with the aim of helping Rohingya terrorists. Which is true, in some cases. However, the government hasn't allowed media access to the troubled areas. UN and humans rights bodies are not allowed to go these places to confirm what's real and what's misinformation.
Rohingya militants did attack police posts, so the military mounted a counter-offensive, but Rohingyan families are reporting that security forces along with armed Buddhist civilians are burning villages and opening fire. However, Col Phone Tint (Myanmar's Minister in charge of border security at Rakhine) that the destruction of villages was being caused by militants so that the muslims flee to Bangladesh.
Then Bangladesh gov't sources are saying that Myanmar forces have been placing landmines along the border, and these allegations come after 2 children and a woman were injured as blasts were heard. Myanmar did place mines back in the 90s, but we don't know if these are recent mines.
But on Monday, Ms Suu Kyi's spokesman Zaw Htay questioned who exactly had placed the explosives.
"Who can surely say those mines were not laid by the terrorists?" he asked Reuters.
Even Suu Kyi's biographer said she's in the army's pocket.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh doesn't want to recognise Rohingya as refugees, deporting them back. Government of Dhaka suggested refugees to go to a low-lying island which is at risk of flooding and has no roads going into Bay of Bengal.
India is even worse. Mr Modi has vowed to kick out 40,000 Rohingya from his country.
