“The United States should be committed to seeking accountability for those responsible for the genocidal crimes against us Rohingya and against humanity. We also ask the United States to work with the international community and Rohingya to find justice for the victims.
The United States should use international law to solve the conflict in Myanmar. The international community has failed in responding to the situation in Myanmar at its early stage because of the Rohingya’s absence at the table. And I want the U.S. government and international community to find solutions with Rohingya instead of working for Rohingya.”
