Rohingya ethnic cleansing
The crisis in Myanmar is deepening. The ongoing violence against Rohingya Muslims has sparked international condemnation. The latest one is UN’s top rights official Zeid Ra‘ad al-Hussein. He has described the latest crackdown against Rohingya Muslims as textbook' example of ethnic cleansing. He said: “I call on the government to end its current cruel military operation, with accountability for all violations that have occurred, and to reverse the pattern of severe and widespread discrimination against the Rohingya population”. The UN official has also called on Myanmar to stop denying the reality and to stop pretending that Rohingyas were torching their own house.

Syria: Course of conflict
The Syrian army and its allies have put immense pressure on militant groups fighting the government.
