IN a recent discussion to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the genocidal acts against the Rohingya minority by Myanmar’s military, civil society groups and Myanmar’s government in exile, the National Unity Government (NUG) urged Indonesia and Asean to take tougher actions against the Myanmar junta for the safety of the Rohingya people.

But it should be clear from the very beginning that what is happening in Myanmar should not be blamed solely on the military, but the whole nation. The NUG should stop pretending that it knows nothing about who should take the blame for the killings of the Rohingya people.
