Trudeau Plan: Kofi Annan and Neighbouring Bangladesh

trudeau plan: Freeland also told a Toronto rally in support of the Rohingya that she also discussed the issue with Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary-General who is currently leading a commission investigating the crisis unfolding in Myanmar, according to National Observer. She says another key focus for Canada is getting the ambassador into the area of heaviest conflict to report first-hand on the situation. She did not elaborate on the specific actions she or Trudeau plan to take. Myanmar's powerful military is accused of torching the homes of 400,000 Rohingya Muslims, forcing them to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh as refugees. Freeland did not address those concerns, but told the rally that Trudeau expressed his very strong condemnation of the treatment of the Rohingya directly to Suu Kyi earlier this week. Myanmar's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has come under harsh international criticism for failing to speak out against the violence, with some arguing she should be stripped of both her Nobel Peace Prize and her honorary Canadian citizenship.
