Hundreds of Buddhist monks in Myanmar have staged a rally in support of the president and his proposal to send the members of a Muslim minority group to another country.
The rally in Mandalay on Sunday was the latest indication of deep sentiment against the Rohingya minority after June violence with ethnic Rakhine Buddhists that left 80 people dead and tens of thousands displaced.
The monks held a banner saying, “Save your motherland Myanmar by supporting the president.” President Thein Sein suggested in July that Myanmar send all Rohingya to any country willing to take them, a proposal quickly opposed by the UN refugee agency.

Myanmar considers the Rohingya to be illegal migrants from Bangladesh, but Bangladesh also rejects them, rendering them stateless. The UN estimates that 800,000 Rohingya live in Myanmar.

週日在曼德勒的集會,是六月間羅興亞少數族群與若開族佛教徒爆發衝突後,顯示強烈的反羅興亞情緒;這場衝突造成八十人死亡、數萬人流離失所。
僧侶們舉著標語牌,上面寫著︰「支持總統,拯救緬甸祖國。」總統登盛七月間提議,緬甸將所有羅興亞人送到任何願意接受他們的國家,該提議隨即遭聯合國難民署反對。
緬甸將羅興亞視為來自孟加拉的非法移民,但孟加拉也拒絕他們,使其淪為無國籍的族群。聯合國估計,有八十萬名羅興亞人在緬甸生活。

One of us is a murderer. The terrifying thought fills your head. There’s a corpse in the next room, and one of your fellow diners put it there. As the evening progresses, you learn disturbing secrets about everyone, and you’re forced to confess to a few yourself. You all have motives for the crime, but who committed it? Fortunately, it’s just a game. Murder mystery games are multiplayer role-playing games designed to be played over the course of an evening. The concept likely originated with “wink murder,” an amusing pastime that became popular in the early 1900s. In this game, a “murderer” kills
A: How does Taipei’s YouBike service charge after the free ride for the first 30 minutes? B: It’s NT$10 every 30 minutes within four hours. A: What a bargain.
