US
to pursue justice for Rohingyas and all people of Myanmar: Blinken
US Secretary of State Antony J.
Blinken has said the United States remains committed to advancing justice and
accountability for all the people of Myanmar.
In a statement marking the sixth
anniversary of "Genocide" against Rohingya, he said the US will
continue to stand in solidarity with the people of Myanmar in their aspirations
for a "democratic, inclusive, and peaceful" future.
On August 25, the sixth anniversary
of genocide against Rohingya, the United States said they stand with the
victims and survivors.
Blinken reaffirmed their commitment
to pursue justice and accountability for the atrocities committed by the
Myanmar military, UNB reports.
"We are deeply grateful to the
Government and the people of Bangladesh for giving shelter and refuge to nearly
one million Rohingya, as well as other countries in the region hosting Rohingya
refugees," he said.
The United States has provided over
$2.1 billion to assist those affected by the crisis in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and
elsewhere in the region since 2017, remaining the leading single largest donor
of life-saving humanitarian assistance to those whose lives have been upended
by the violence.
The escalation of violence
throughout the country has exacerbated the dire humanitarian situation,
particularly for members of ethnic and religious minority communities,
including Rohingya.
Since December 2017, the United
States has imposed sanctions and visa restrictions on individuals and entities
most responsible for the ongoing violence, according to US Department of State.
