Justin Trudeau tries to resolve Rohingya refugee crisis

The ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis has called in for a world wide union to fight against cruel and end humanitarian and security crisis.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed a special envoy to Myanmar today tasked with pressing its leadership to resolve the Rohingya refugee crisis.

Trudeau also announced in a statement that Canada would be doubling its contribution this year for humanitarian aid for the refugees to USD 20 million.

Former senior MP Bob Rae will “reinforce the urgent need to resolve the humanitarian and security crisis in Myanmar and to address the situation affecting vulnerable populations, including the Rohingya Muslim community,” read the statement, released as an international donor conference opened in Geneva.



Rae will also advise Trudeau on how best to support “those affected and displaced by the recent violence.”

Trudeau said he is “deeply concerned about the urgent humanitarian and security crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, particularly the brutal persecution of the Rohingya Muslim people.”
