Malala Yousafzai Criticizes Aung San Suu Kyi Over Violence On Myanmar's Rohingya
Malala Yousafzai, known as just Malala, has joined other human rights activists and officials in publicly criticizing Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's effective leader, for the treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar.
More than 73,000 Rohingya have crossed into Bangladesh from Myanmar in the latest wave of violence by the Myanmar military, spurred by an attack from a group of Rohingya militants on a military post on Aug. 25.
The brutal treatment of Myanmar's Rohingya is longstanding — they've been called the most persecuted minority group on the planet.
A Pakistani education activist, Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize for her promotion of girls' education. She took to Twitter Sunday to criticize Aung San Suu Kyi, a fellow Peace Prize recipient.
The Rohingya people live in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.

This is not the first time this group of Muslims has waged war against the burmese since they invaded burma. A victim of muslim brutality has spoken out in defense of the muslim army camped in burma. Debate on this concluded that the bullet fired into the girl must have resulted in a reduced capacity to distinguish friend from foe.
