    Default UK to suspend training of Burmese military over treatment of Rohingya



    Theresa May has announced that the UK will suspend the training of Burmese military amid concerns about the treatment of the Muslim Rohingya population.

    Speaking at the UN general assembly in New York, she said the UK would end all engagement with the Burmese military until military action against civilians in Rakhine state had stopped.

    The prime minister has been under pressure to halt the programme since the country’s army was accused of driving hundreds of thousands of Rohingya into Bangladesh.

    “The British government is announcing today that we are going to stop all defence engagement and training of the Burmese military by the Ministry of Defence until this issue is resolved.”

    Asked if the action was coordinated with international allies, May said: “There has been very clear international concern about the issue of the Rohingya people and what is happening to them.

    The UK programme in Myanmar does not include combat training but is aimed at educating soldiers in democracy, leadership and the English language at a cost of around £305,000 last year.

    Earlier on Tuesday, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel peace prize winner who leads Myanmar, broke her silence on the crisis but did not criticise the army.

    Eh who is paying for this programming?

    ON TOPIC

    £305,000 to programme an entire army, more realistic figure than this "£5,000,000"
    for what ever

    Since most likely she'd be arrest, slung in prison and again leave the army in charge. It's an odd situation with the government in a weak position and the army getting ready to take control again.

    Despite the cost of living, it's still very popular.

    Aung San Suu Kyi, abas and the Dalai Lama just the actors…..

    Look when the Army and police start killing there’s own citizens this is the most tragic genocide I have witness for over 40 years and no one has power to stop this happening in this 21st centuries.

    We have witness the killings, rape, subjected cruelty, forced out of own house and citizen have became homeless, the atrocities been happening in Israel, Myanmar, and in US shoot to kill policy for years the UN will only condom but not willing to take action, when it comes to the speech they always talk about the human Rights.

    We are now getting evidence every day from mobile phones, the point I am going to make is I have not heard or seen the police and army killing of large numbers of citizens of none Muslim believers in any country in the world why others can not learn from this?
