if you're not sure it means you should carefully consider your ethics.
Tangentially, what's up with what we call that country in English? "Myanmar" is the standard modern name and "Burma" is the name from the British colonial times. However, we have to realize that the R in "Myanmar" reflects British phonetics and should therefore be silent . No, NPR correspondent, it's not "My Ann Mar," it's more like "Maa Maa."

As the genocide was taking place, the United States military drafted a plan to jam RTLM's broadcasts, but this action was never taken, with officials claiming that the cost of the operation, international broadcast agreements and "the American commitment to free speech" made the operation unfeasible
Facebook also didn't do it to stop the “the hallmarks of genocide,” in Myanmar
