It’s one of the more purely religious conflicts out there, for most of its history.

Yes. Islam vs Buddhism or Buddhism vs Islam, whichever way you wanna look at it.

I read this on mobile and got a still image and a progress spinner, with no way to scroll.

#7Incredibly moving. One of the more impactful interactive reports by the NYTimes.
There’s talk about trying to get Aung San Suu Kyi to the ICC. People complained about Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize, but all objective reports show credible allegations of true modern genocide (shocking for a word meaninglessly bandied about so often) in Kyi’s case, giving the prize a new low with a recipient going from Oslo to The Hague in no time at all.
(EDIT: The link is even more moving in fullscreen on a desktop. Excellent photography.)
(EDIT2: I'm aware of when Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize and for what. The irony of going from oppressed recipient of a NPP to oppressor standing trial in The Hague doesn't change.)

Basically an Islamic minority being systematically executed or ejected from their homes. Thing is this has been going on for at least a decade, I remember going to a tech meetup about mesh networks that had a few Rohingya's who were about my age at the time that were going to Seattle Central College or similar.
IIRC they took some phones running Serval Mesh back, but not much else happened. They were pretty interested in building communication infrastructure so they could document the (at the time) slow moving atrocity.

History is full of people fighting for freedom for their own when they are suppressed. But then they go suppressing others.
