US Striving to Solve Rohingya Issue

But rights groups say Burma's government is not moving fast enough to help. The United States is working with the international community to find a resolution to the troublesome Rohingya issue, including possible citizenship for members of the Muslim minority group in Burma, officials say. 

But rights groups do not see significant moves under way by the Burmese government to fully address the problem, even in efforts to pave the way for the return home of thousands of Rohingyas displaced by deadly violence in northwestern Rakhine state in June.

State Department refugee expert Kelly Clements said that recent talks between the U.S. and Burma have “explored how the international community can assist the Burmese government in long-term recovery efforts” following the violence, in which more than 80 died and 75,000 were displaced, mostly Rohingyas.

Additionally, an end to the Rohingyas’ stateless status must be found for those members of the group who can make valid claims to citizenship, Clements said on Tuesday at a forum held by the Open Society Foundation in Washington.

“We explored how the international community can assist the Burmese government in long-term recovery efforts and the development of a path to citizenship for those Rohingya with claims.” 

“Peace is possible in Rakhine State only through economic development, poverty alleviation and ensuring basic rights for residents,” Clements said.
