Magnum Photos have documented the plight of the Rohingya for over 25 years from the military government to today's democracy with alarming similarities of persecution between the two.

Fleeing an eruption of violence that began on August 25, more than 90,000 Rohingya have escaped across the border of Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh. Myanmar officials say that the conflict began when a group from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) attacked police posts and an army base in the western region of Rakhine, while the Rohingya say they fleeing arson and mass extrajudicial killings at the hands on the Myanmar Army.

There are also calls for the Nobel Prize Committee to withdraw the Peace Prize awarded to Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whom critics feel has failed to defend the long persecuted minority.
