Listen Later

Myanmar’s Rohingya have marked eight years since the military launched a brutal “clearance operation” in northern Rakhine State. Homes were burned down, women were raped, and thousands were killed by soldiers.The date is now commemorated each year as Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day on Aug. 25, 2017. Over 700,000 Rohingya had fled across the border into Bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of Rohingya had already fled previous military assaults. The United Nations called it a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. The United States and many other western countries have labelled it a genocide.
