Rohingya people before the election, that would probably have elicited
a reaction from the military. Bearing in mind the conditions in the
country it should not be regarded as unreasonable that Suu Kyi should
have adopted a different pre-election tactic.
The only way of confirming these criticisms or otherwise is the
course that Suu Kyi follows from now on. Although her party lacks the
strength to act outside the military constitution and thus to bring in
serious reforms, she has now a greater capacity to prevent injustice and
genocide in the country and to bring the subject to the attention of the
international community. By following a sensible policy, Suu Kyi can
bring the matter of genocide in Myanmar to the constant attention of
the international community. In practical terms, international pressure
can bring about a solution in Myanmar.
Let us also add that very little changed in the lives of the Rohingya
people up to the election. The U.N. says that 370 Rohingya people
drowned in the sea between January and June this year. According to
Amnesty International, however, the true figure is very much higher.
Witnesses state that dozens of boats have set out from the shore, but
71
that only a few have reached Indonesia or Malaysia. In other words,
the drama of the Rohingya people is still continuing beneath the radar.
We hope that this new period will be an auspicious one for the
people of Rohingya, who have been persecuted, deprived of their
human rights and subjected to genocide. We will also continue to pray
and to speak for them in these pages.
