From her failure to speak out against ethnic cleansing to imprisoning journalists, the reputation of Aung San Suu Kyi in the west has taken a battering in recent months.
But the leader of Myanmar has found a new ally in far-right, staunchly anti-immigrant Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán.
In a rare trip to Europe, state counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel peace prize laureate who was once the figurehead of the fight for democracy in Myanmar, met Orbán in Budapest. There, the two leaders found common ground on the subject of immigration and Islam .
“The two leaders highlighted that one of the greatest challenges at present for both countries and their respective regions – south-east Asia and Europe – is migration,” read a statement released after their meeting.
“They noted that both regions have seen the emergence of the issue of co-existence with continuously growing Muslim populations.”
...Her failure to condemn the military’s violent crackdown on the Muslim Rohingya minority in 2017 – which saw thousands of Rohingya raped and killed in what the UN described as an exercise in ethnic cleansing – and her defence of the military’s brutal actions against Myanmar’s Muslims have proved particularly contentious.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s government has since repeatedly failed to offer assurances to the million Rohingya now living in refugee camps in Bangladesh, where they fled over the border for safety, that if they return their security and pathway to citizenship would be guaranteed.

Suu Kyi's stature has risen in my eyes. Her thinking has become very clear. She was a Burmese Patriot, who actually married a British man, and lived outside Burma for many years - so she had very good perspective on her nation's condition and place in the world.
She opposed a military junta to bring freedom and prosperity to the Burmese people. She is now against the Rohingya warfare against the Burmese people for the same reason. She knows that giving an opening to he Muslims of Bangladesh and the globalists of the West, Burma will face a state of constant cultural conflict and war.
““They noted that both regions have seen the emergence of the issue of co-existence with continuously growing Muslim populations.””
Called reality. Cultures that are diametrically opposed cannot co-exist peacefully together.
Keep the Muslim Rohingya stay in Bangladesh.
In most other countries, even the liberals like Aung San Suu Kyi oppose Islam. Only the Left in the US and Western Europe are suicidal and self-hating enough to embrace Muslims as “fellow citizens”.
Yep from globalist sweetheart to warmonger because she does what is right for her country.
The Muslim invaders don’t want co-existance.
There was a muslim land just across the river where I’m sure the Rohingya will be much happier.
Bangladesh doesn't seem to want the Rohingyas either. So much for brotherhood among Muslims. The same applies to the Syrian refugees - rather than having them infest Europe and cause problems there, why won't neighboring fellow Arab/Muslim countries take them in?
Islam is the negation of culture. Arab Christians, Hindu Bengalis have culture. Muslims do not
Maybe that’s why the Hindu Rohingyas have been left alone.
Rohingya isn't an ethnicity. These are Bengalis - an ancient (2500+ years) ethnicity that is Muslim, Hindu and Christian (to a very small extent).
They are ethnically and racially different from the Tai-Kadai/Tibeto-Burmese peoples of Myanmar
I’ve heard it was the Muslims who chased them out.
it seems that the Muslims started the wars with the Burmese and the Hindu Rohingyas were swept along in the repercussions (as they are the same ethnicity). Then the Muslims started discriminating against the Hindus.
If the Myanmar government was smart, they’d befriend the Hindus and Christians among the Rohingya.
