Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi visited Rakhine state on Thursday -- her first after months of violence and the mass exodus of Rohingya Muslims from the region.
The visit comes after Suu Kyi has received criticism for her refusal to publicly speak about the violence against the Muslim minority -- more than 600,000 of whom have fled to Bangladesh in the past few months to escape violence.
