Dark Days

Quite a bit of coverage in the press locally concerning the plight of the Rohingya refugees fleeing Rakhine. Not sure that anyone comes out of this terrible situation standing on the moral high ground, but the grim reality of what bears all the signs of a 'slow genocide' is now obvious to all but the most obtuse (though there always seems to be a remarkable number of such types when it comes to the persecution of Muslim minorities.)

Wondering what, if anything, is going on within the ASEAN 'family' relating to all this. If a major humanitarian catastrophe takes place, or has taken place, it's not going to speak well for any of the member states.
