Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine state face ‘genocide’: OIC
By AFP Published: November 17, 2012
DJIBOUTI: The world’s top Islamic body called Saturday for the international community to protect Muslims in Myanmar’s unrest-hit Rakhine state from “genocide” as US President Barack Obama readied for a landmark trip to the country.
“We expect from the United states to convey a strong message to the government of Burma so they protect that minority, what is going on there is a genocide,” said Djibouti Foreign Minister Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, who is the acting chairman of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
“We are telling things how they are, we believe that the United States and other … countries … should act quickly to save that minority which is submitted to an oppressive policy and a genocide,” he said.
