Why are these blocks getting more attention than Uganda’s? Is it because Myanmar is less friendly to the West or what?



More or less what Myanmar so called democratic government was doing to its Muslim Rohingya population was forgotten as the government was democratic. India had cut of internet for months in Kashmir but little news in the western media. Even today Chinese atrocities against Uighur minorities are talked about every week but no one talks about Kashmir or the other minorities in India being marginalized by the current Modi government. With the internet and all the news sources available you realize all the good evil, black and white paraded about in the media or global organizations has little to do with actuall ground realities but mostly propagandas of different countries and interests.


Chinese “atrocities” against Uighurs are talked about every week because it’s a story invented and pushed by the US state department. It’s the WMDs in Iraq of this decade.

My understanding is that the Rohingyan genocide in Myanmar is legitimate, but I’m curious why Myanmar is receiving so much attention at this point.
