U.S. Secretary of State Says U.S. Determines Myanmar Army Committed Genocide Against Rohingya

INTERNATIONAL: The United States has formally determined that violence committed against the Rohingya minority by Myanmar's military amounts to genocide and crimes against humanity, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday ,March 21.

Speaking at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, Blinken has said the attacks against Rohingya was 'widespread and systematic' and evidence has pointed to a clear intent to destroy the mainly Muslim minority.

The U.S. Secretary of State has said; “The attack against Rohingya was widespread and systematic, which is crucial for reaching a determination of crimes against humanity. The evidence also points to a clear intent behind these mass atrocities. The intent to destroy Rohingya in whole or in part. That intent has been corroborated by the accounts of soldiers who took part in the operation and later defected, such as one who said he was told by his commanding officer to, and I quote, shoot at every site of a person, end quote. Burn villages, rape and kill women. Orders that he and his unit carried out."

"Since the coup, we've seen the Burmese military use many of the same tactics. Only now the military is targeting anyone it sees as opposing or undermining its repressive rule," Blinken has added.

Since seizing power, the military has killed more than 1,670 men, women and children and unjustly detained at least 12,800 more in abysmal conditions.

The United States has been providing a wide range of support, including information resources. And Blinken has also said, he can announce that they're also contributing nearly a million dollars in additional funding. U.S. has also shared information with The Gambia in connection with the case it's filed against Burma under the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice for the atrocities committed against Rohingya.
