U.S. Will Declare Burma’s Military Junta Committed Genocide Against Rohingya

HeadlineMar 21, 2022

The Biden administration has for the first time determined the Burmese military junta committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Muslim minority Rohingya community. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is announcing the finding today at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. The U.N. reports as many as 10,000 Rohingya were killed by Burmese forces during the 2017 genocide, though some estimates put the death toll at more than twice that number. Another 730,000 Rohingya were forced to flee Burma.
