Six years, to the day, since a mob attacked a bus and killed ten Muslims in Taungup, #Rakhine, sparking violence, thousands of #Rohingya are still in IDP camps.
The day after the gruesome attack, Govt newspapers used racist slang and described those killed as "Muslim Kalar.''
"An eight-year-old girl was killed in a landslide caused by pre-monsoon rains last Friday, the first of what aid agencies expect will be hundreds of casualties during the monsoon."
