UAE condemns violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar

DUBAI, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday condemned the use of force against Rohingya Muslims by Myanmar authorities, UAE state news agency WAM reported.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation confirmed its continued support and humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar, WMA said.

The ministry also stressed the need for the international community to respond to the worsening humanitarian crisis there, urging the United Nations to find "a humane and political solution" to protect the Rohingya from violence, displacement and collective punishment.

The continuation of the Rohingya tragedy and their suffering is "totally unacceptable," it noted.
