The world turns a blind eye on the people of Rohingya, the people of Uyghurs, the people of Palestine, the people of Syria. The Muslims of the east face a genocide and an ethnic cleansing to tackle “extremism” on a powerless people. A facade to cover up their war crimes, Aung San Suu Kyi the state counsellor of Myanmar described the violence as “internal armed conflict” which creates irony for someone who is supposedly the winner for the noble peace prize which was awarded for her “non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights” recently the world court has ordered measures to protect the Rohingya people from a genocide 3 years after the start of the genocide.
Another act of prejudice seems very familiar to historic events. The Muslims in Uyghurs who are facing a psychological genocide and an ethnic cleansing for the same reasons to “tackle extremism” following the likes of Nazi Germany in creating camps and forceful rejection to faith describing it as “re-education centres” with two million trapped inside. Human rights have been stripped away from them, they cannot leave the country, they are forced to resign their faith and follow the rule of Xi Jinping. The camps are described as “open air prisons” Tursan a refugee and victim from Beijing has spoken on her situation, her triplets were taken, and one murdered by the government. She says to CNN when her kids get older “I will tell them everything – I will tell them the Chinese government killed their brother”
Lastly, Syria and Palestine have been troubled for decades over contrasting issues but with different parties. Palestine facing eviction by the new founded Israeli government after the holocaust Palestinians invited the Jewish refugees to take comfort in their land but not knowing that they will have their land taken away by Zionist supporters. And with Syria who face the same but by their own government who had their country come into civil war with amassing destruction all over the land and involvement of Russian forces.
The western world fails to portray a light on what is happening in the east. They fail to create an image for those who lack information. Only small news branches speaking out and even if it was publicised it would be pushed aside as a side story to make space for things like the royal family or presidency.
