Descendants of Portuguese Roman Catholics have lived peacefully in central Myanmar for centuries, but since the coup they’ve faced the cruelty of a military steeped in Buddhist nationalism.
This was self-inflicted by the Myanmar’s Buddhist majority. They enthusiastically backed the military’s genocide against the ethnic muslim Rohingya. Once the Rohingya were subjugated, the military got drunk on power and moved on to their next target: the progressives. Even Aung San was quiet about the Rohingya genocide.
