Kofi Annan arrives in Mynmar to probe army abuse against Muslim minority

‘Former UN chief Kofi Annan is on a fact-finding mission in Myanmar to probe a bloody army crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in the country.
Annan and his team on Friday arrived in the volatile northwestern Rakhine State, where an army crackdown has killed at least 86 ethnic Rohingya Muslims, according to government figures. Independent groups say as many as 400 people have been killed.
The team was greeted by a group of protesters, who carried signs that read “Ban the Kofi Annan commission” and chanted, “We don’t want the Kofi Annan commission,” referring to the task force appointed by Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi to investigate the violence against the Rohingya.’
