( November 3, 2012, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. But she was under house arrest in her native Myanmar at that time and was unable to accept the Prize in person. That opportunity came over a decade later. At the acceptance address earlier this year in Oslo the Myanmar freedom fighter Aung San Suu Kyi said “Burma, now Myanmar was a country of many ethnic nationalities and faith in its future can be founded only on a true spirit of union. Since we achieved independence in 1948, there never has been a time when we could claim the whole country was at peace. We have not been able to develop the trust and understanding necessary to remove causes of conflict”. Where is she now when the innocent minority Rohingya Muslims are masssacred by the extremist Buddhists with the complicity of the Myanmar Govt.
