YANGON, Sept 13: Myanmar’s national leader Aung San Suu Kyi, facing outrage over ethnic violence that has forced about 370,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee to Bangladesh, will not attend the upcoming U.
N.
General Assembly session in New York, a party spokesman said on Wednesday.
The crisis over the security forces’ fierce response to a series of Rohingya militant attacks is the biggest problem Suu Kyi has faced since becoming Myanmar’s leader last year.
Critics have called for Suu Kyi to be stripped of her Nobel peace prize for failing to do more to halt the strife.
