Myanmar's another example of ethnocentric fueled ultranationalism becoming fascistic.
Throughout the globe far right groups are pushing their respective forms of ethnocentrism and nationalism in attempts to establish neo-nationalsocialistic systems.
The global alt right movements backed by the globe's richest and most powerful must be countered to prevent more Myanmars.

When Myanmar was 'Burma' they had the totalitarian Burmese Way to Socialism. That was overthrown by the SLORC which was totalitarian and even more brutal and they jailed Aung San Suu Kyi. Then she heads a new government for Myanmar but it's the same oppressive totalitarian brutality and internal violence no matter what they say.
Aung San Suu Kyi is now looking out for herself and she is committing genocide and 'ethnic cleansing' against the Rohingya. And some of those people aren't Muslim but Hindu, but does it matter?
Hitler had his thing against Jews. Milosevic did it to Muslims, especially in Bosnia and Kosovo. Hutu Power in Rwanda did it to Tutsis. Trump is doing it to Hispanics, etc.
There's NO justifying or excusing or defending any of these actions.
Human rights activists like Bob Geldof, U2, and others have protested. Human rights organizations and the Canadian government withdrew honors they awarded to her. She is a totalitarian murderess.
The Hague council should arrest her ass for crimes against humanity and never let her come back home.
