Philippines’ Duterte cites genocide in Myanmar, says will take refugees
2018-04-06
[Dhaka Tribune] Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Thursday genocide was taking place in Myanmar and he was willing to accept Rohingya refugees fleeing from it, though Europe
...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
should help too.

The United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
and rights groups say some 700,000 people, most of them Rohingya, have fled from Myanmar into Bangladesh since August last year when Rohingya rebels attacks on the security forces sparked a military crackdown.

The United Nations and several Western countries have said the Myanmar action constitutes ethnic cleansing but Myanmar rejects that. It says its security forces have been conducting legitimate operations against "terrorists."

Duterte, in a wide-ranging speech to farmers and agriculture officials at the presidential palace, touched on various issues including his recent decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court over its decision to open a preliminary investigation into his bloody war on drugs.

Drawing the ire of officials in Myanmar, Duterte then expressed sympathy for the Rohingya and offered to help.

"I really pity the people there," Duterte said. "I’m willing to accept refugees. Rohingyas, yes. I will help but we should split them with Europe."
He also mentioned the inability of the international community to resolve problems in Myanmar.

"They can’t even solve the Rohingya. That’s what genocide is, if I may say so," Duterte said.

#4  There is an old Imperial Policy: move troublesome tribe from Province A to Province B while displacing the locals up into the barren hills. The 'New Guys' end up having to become loyal supporters or the locals will come down out of the hills and massacre them. Does tend to leave a totally Balkanized mess where verybody hates everybody -- like Afghanistan (or Pakistan) except it was done on purpose.

#3  Rarely has history proven that the act of importing a predatory species to control a local invasive species will be successful.
