The U.N. Security Council may visit Myanmar and Bangladesh this month to see firsthand the situation of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who have fled a military crackdown in Myanmar. Council president for April, Peruvian Ambassador Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, told reporters that the government of Myanmar has agreed to the visit. Some 700,000 minority Rohingya Muslims have fled Rakhine for neighboring Bangladesh since August, after attacks by Rohingya militants on state security forces led to military reprisals that the United Nations says were executed in a well-organized, systematic and coordinated manner and are a "textbook example" of ethnic cleansing. Access to Rakhine for diplomats, aid workers and journalists has been limited since August. The U.N.'s deputy humanitarian chief, Ursula Mueller, travels to Myanmar on Monday. She will be in the country through Sunday to study the humanitarian impact of the crisis in Rakhine and the conflict in Kachin and Shan states. 联合国安理会可能本月派人前往缅甸和孟加拉国亲眼查看逃离缅甸军事镇压的数十万罗兴亚穆斯林的境况。 轮值安理会主席的秘鲁驻联合国大使梅沙━郭德拉（Gustavo Meza━Cuadra）说，缅甸政府已经同意了这次访问。 自从去年8月以来，已经有大约70万罗兴亚穆斯林从缅甸的若开邦逃到邻国孟加拉。罗兴亚武装分子袭击了缅甸保安部队后，政府军采取了报复性镇压。联合国说，缅甸政府军进行了组织周密、系统性的镇压，构成“典型的”种族清洗。 |
