If the Myanmar military is rendering the country’s de
facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi powerless, then she should step down, Nobel Peace
laureate and economist Muhammad Yunus said in an interview with Aljazeera
recently.
“I’ll put 100% of the blame on her because she is the
leader…” Muhammad Yunus told Aljazeera while reacting to a query about
allegation that Suu Kyi is powerless and her country's military is in charge
behind the ongoing persecution on Rohingyas in the Rakhine state of Myanmar.

Yunus said Suu kyi is verbally defending the atrocity and
violence taking place against the Rohingya population of her country.
“She takes all the blame herself, so there is no way you
can part it with the military or anybody else.” He said adding that Suu Kyi has
to fix the Rohingya crisis by herself.
“If she cannot say what she should say then she is no
leader… leader is supposed to stand by their own people,” Yunus said at the
interview.

Pointing Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace laureate said, “You
have to stand up, you have to protect your image that you built over years as a
defender of human rights, defender of democracy… what happened to all those
values you have promoted?”
Asked whether Suu Kyi deserves the Nobel Prize, Yunus
said that he is sure that the committee would never give her the prize if she
had all these stories in front of it.
Some 589,000 Rohingya people -- about 60 percent of them
children -- have crossed into Bangladesh since August 25 to join nearly 400,000
of their fellow countrymen who fled violence in Myanmar in phases over the
years.
The UN and other aid groups are struggling to mobilise
fund for the emergency reliefs.
