CORRECTED: Genocide court case risks ‘reignition’ of Rohingya crisis: Suu Kyi

Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi warned on Thursday that a genocide case at the UN’s top court over Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority risked restarting the crisis.

Myanmar’s de facto civilian leader told the International Court of Justice that the case brought by Gambia could “undermine reconciliation” and that it was “important to avoid any reignition of the 2016-17 internal armed conflict”.
