Australian Government to continue training Myanmar’s military

A recently released paper has confirmed that the Australian government will continue to fund and train members of the Myanmar military. While the paper recognises that other countries have different positions, Australia needs to protect its own interests in the region. The Myanmar military has been perpetrating a campaign of ethnic cleansing against its minority Rohingya population in Western Myanmar. The military is also accused of continuing its offensives against other minority groups in Myanmar.
