Between its military and its religion, minority groups have suffered mightily. I had hoped for improvement when Aung San Suu Kyi was elected s a civilian leader, but that too fell by the wayside. Whether she was actually guilty of corruption or not, the military got rid of her.

There are too many places round the world now where people have to live in fear for their lives, among them several in Africa. I haven’t read anything recently about the ravages of Russia’s Wagner Group now that Putin murdered their leader, but I’m sure they’re still creating havoc.
