The European Union has done absolutely nothing to pressure Burma Army head Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing and his military to stop its campaign of what the United Nations has described as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing” against the Rohingya, writes Mark Farmaner of Burma Campaign UK, in the Democratic Voice of Burma.
Calling for an arms embargo and targeted sanctions, he concludes that failure to act will send a clear message to Min Aung Hlaing that when it comes to ethnic cleansing, Europe’s response is, “Yes on our watch.”
