Death toll from attacks targeting Myanmar Muslims rises to 40 but Friends(?) of Syria say NOTHING

Myanmar government says death toll from recent attacks targeting Rohingya Muslims in central part of the country has risen to 40.

State media reported on Tuesday that eight more bodies were found in the wreckage of a riot-hit area in the town of Meiktila.
Clashes erupted in Meiktila on March 20 when extremist Buddhists attacked dozens of houses and mosques for three days.
Earlier reports said that at least 32 people were killed in the violence that also displaced more than 12,000 people.
Vijay Nambiar, the UN’s top adviser on Myanmar, toured Meiktila on Sunday and called on the government to punish those responsible for the tragedy.
Hundreds of Rohingyas are believed to have been killed and thousands displaced in attacks by Buddhist extremists.
Buddhist extremists frequently attack Rohingyas and set fire to their homes in several villages in the state of Rakhine. Myanmar army forces have allegedly provided the extremist Buddhists with containers of petrol for torching the houses of Muslim villagers.
Myanmar’s government has been accused of failing to protect the Muslim minority.
