TOKYO: The Myanmar government is responding to conflict in the troubled north of Rakhine state, which has suffered its worst violence since 2012, based on the rule of law, leader Aung San Suu Kyi was quoted as saying.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Suu Kyi has faced mounting criticism abroad for her government’s handling of a crisis in the Muslim-majority region, where soldiers have blocked access for aid workers and are accused of raping and killing civilians.
