Geneva, May 14 (UNI) UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar (FFM) urged the international community on Tuesday to cut off all financial and other support to Myanmar's military as a counteractive measure to the country's unresolved Rohingya crisis.
The Rohingya, a Muslim minority in Myanmar, have been fleeing their homes to avoid waves of violence following the government's deployment of police and military units in response to an attack by Rohingya insurgents on security posts in the country's western state of Rakhine on August 25, 2017.
FFM Chairperson Marzuki Darusman said that the measures were necessary because Myanmar had not done enough to resolve the nation's conflict and protect human rights, including those of over one million Rohingya civilians in exile, reported Al Jazeera.
