As Shura Council debates urgent solution to Burma’s persecuted
Muslims, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry vows to act without further
delay.
Shura Council’s Arab and Foreign Affairs and National Security
Committee, headed by Ridha Fahmi, heard statements by Alaa El-Kashef,
Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia; and Rania Al-Banna,
Assistant Secretary of State, on the issue of persecution and massacres
committed against Muslims of Burma, over two million people.
Alaa El-Kashef said, "Egypt did not spare any effort in supporting
Muslims of Burma. We did not stand idly by with regard to this important
issue.
"The Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued three statements in which it
strongly condemned the massacres and the burning of Muslim families and
homes. We tasked our ambassador to inform the government in Burma of our
total rejection of the genocide being committed against Muslims there.
Egypt’s Foreign Minister met with government officials in an attempt to
develop a plan to solve the crisis. We summoned the Myanmar Ambassador
in Cairo and expressed Egypt’s deep shock and concern regarding the
ongoing violent events."
