US diplomat: address causes of Rohingya exodus

(22 May 2015) A senior US diplomat said on Friday that the root causes of the exodus of Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims need to be addressed as a way to solve the humanitarian crisis facing Southeast Asia. US Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a news conference in Yangon that those fleeing Myanmar need to be moved back to their homes, provided for in terms of education, health care and opportunities, as well as freedom of movement. The Rohingya have been denied all those rights in the predominantly-Buddhist nation, leading to thousands of them falling prey to human traffickers as they flee in boats and become stranded. Blinken, who held talks with Myanmar's leaders in the capital Naypyidaw, urged all governments in the region to act immediately to bring migrants ashore and provide humanitarian and medical assistance and treat those on board humanely.
