Two years after Myanmar’s military waged a deadly crackdown on minority Rohingya Muslims, U.S. officials say the Trump administration is holding the perpetrators accountable

.

The Trump administration’s claims of success in Myanmar are unlikely to appease the human rights community. Many such activists want President Donald Trump and his aides to do more to bring Myanmar’s leaders to justice, including by labeling what happened a “genocide.”asking a survivorAnd while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has green-lighted sanctions and other pressure on Myanmar, he has resisted designating the situation a “genocide.

A second State Department official said Pompeo is juggling multiple priorities when it comes to Myanmar, with the end goal being “to help the Rohingya, to help keep a civilian-led government in power and to keep the Chinese from taking over and making things even worse.” In late August 2017, the Myanmar military launched an operation that killed thousands of Rohingya Muslims and pushed more than 700,000 across the border into Bangladesh. Most of those refugees remain in camps in Bangladesh, too scared to return to Myanmar.

Last month, the U.S. imposed visa sanctions on Myanmar’s top military commander, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, and three other top generals over their roles in the Rohingya crisis. Such sanctions mean the people targeted cannot visit the U.S., nor can their immediate relatives, including their children.against the visa sanctions in August was a sign that the U.S. move had upset the generals.

Hahahahahahaha. Not bloody likely.

Human Rights is the human rights and should not be subject to negotiation by anyone at any place and at any time

Sure they are. Fine people on both sides?

'US officials say'

地球大总统 特朗普先生

Sure

YES!! SO THE USA IS HOLDING THE 'HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSING!!''WORLD+MILITARY DOMINATION=WORLD AS SLAVES-CHINA NEW WORLD ORDER(RUSSIA APPROVED-KOWTOWS+BENDS THE KNEE TO CHINA!!)' COMMUNIST CHINA ACCOUNTABLE!! FINALLY!!!

Yeah, right. They won’t even hold the people accused of putting children in cages at the border accountable. SMDH

I just don’t believe anything out this administration at all! Everything trump says is a lie!

They sure as hell would be if they were Christians or, God forbid, Jews.

I wonder if in two years the Trump administration will be held accountable to their inhumane treatment of immigrants, separating families and putting kids in cages and having to be taken to court to force them to give them soap and toothpaste.

What about our own refugees coming to the US.

They fell through with their financing of Trumps condo project in China? Or was that the sultan of Brunei? Hard to keep them straight.

That's rich, while here on our very own soil there are kids locked in cages w/o proper nutrition or chance to bathe. WhyListenTotheUS ?

They are 'Bengali Muslims'

Is lovely, whene thugs like trump and Pompeo act like they are the police of the world.

Still waiting for JusticeForJamalKashoggi .... cnn realDonaldTrump SecPompeo LindseyGrahamSC

If that is fact, why haven't the Trump Administration Sanctioned the Myanmar's Military Leaders for their inhumane transgressions against the Rohingyas, who are now refugees living in appalling conditions. May 'God' have mercy on them.

And its holding accountable my dictator too 🤬🤬

I hope they're not using the same accountant who did Trump's taxes.

Why is it that 'Human Rights' are only Given to Minorities? Are they majority of PEOPLE not Human? Or do they JUST not HAVE rights? It seems we are applying the same logic to Citizens? NON-Citizens NOW have MORE rights Than Citizens and are ENTITLED to MORE Free STUFF.

Obama did NOTHING to stop it.

Until Trump gets his payoff
