Burma Campaign UK’s director, Mark Farmaner, believes the foreign secretary could have gone further in his remarks urging Aung San Suu Kyi to do what she can to end the violence in Rakhine State.
He said Mr Johnson should have also criticised the armed forces’ commander-in-chief: “Min Aung Hlaing’s soldiers are the ones killing hundreds of Rohingya and he is the only person in Burma with the power to order soldiers to stop attacking Rohingya villagers, shooting children and burning families alive in their homes.”
