157 British MPs demands that their country should stop training the Myanmar army because of the Rohingya crisis

Arakan News Agency
Britain’s 157 MPs and officials urged their country’s foreign minister, Boris Johnson, to stop the United Kingdom’s training of the Myanmar armed forces in the face of armed aggression against the civilian minority of the Rohingya .
The Times reported that the British Foreign Secretary had warned Myanmar’s acting leader Aung San Suu Kyi that the treatment of the Rohingya minority was “a disgrace” on Myanmar’s forehead.
British parliamentarians welcomed Johnson’s cautionary statement, but urged their government to suspend the training of the Myanmar army, which cost the United Kingdom around 305,000 pounds last year.
This comes amid reports that the Rohingya minority has been subjected to slaughter, rape and deliberate shooting of children by the Myanmar army. UN reports indicate that some 270,000 Rohingya Muslims have crossed into Bangladesh over the past two weeks.
According to the newspaper, parliamentarians have asked their foreign minister to put pressure on the Myanmar army chief, “Min Aung Hlaing,” saying that “the British government should review its current approach to the Myanmar army.”
