US State Department spokesman Heather Nauert
urged the Myanmar military to remain respectful of the law and protect the human rights of the ethnic Rohingya minority in pursuit of the attackers at the border post on.
The Rohingya militia attack became a reminder of the importance of the recommendation of a panel of experts led by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to improve economic development and social justice in Rakhine as a solution to end the conflict between Buddhists and Rohingyas.
