Kofi Annan Visits Myanmar`s Rakhine State Amid Rohingya Crisis

TEMPO.CO, Yangon - A team led by former UN chief Kofi Annan arrived in Myanmar's north-western Rakhine State on Friday (Dec 2) to address the plight of Rohingya Muslims, amid an army crackdown that has killed at least 86 people and sent 10,000 fleeing to Bangladesh.

Mr Annan will spend a day in the state capital Sittwe before travelling to the north, which has been under lockdown since the military launched a sweep of the territory after attacks by militants on border posts on Oct 9.

Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi had appointed the nine-member commission before the current fighting erupted to advise on the restive state, where ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and the Rohingya Muslims have lived separately since clashes in 2012 in which more than 100 people were killed.

The latest violence poses the biggest challenge so far to Ms Suu Kyi's eight-month-old government and has renewed international criticism that the Nobel Peace Prize winner has done too little to help the Rohingya minority, who are denied citizenship and access to basic services.

The six Myanmar and three foreign commissioners, including Mr Annan, were greeted at the airport by Rakhine chief minister Nyi Pu and fewer than 100 protesters. The commission first went to the state in September.

The protesters carried signs that read "Ban the Kofi Annan commission" and chanted "we don't want Kofi Annan commission". Police, some wearing bulletproof vests and carrying rifles, appeared to outnumber protesters.
