Thousands Flee to Bangladesh Border

Members of the Muslim Rohingya minority Escape:

Many members of the Muslim Rohingya minority in Rakhine, Mayanmar are running away from a severe outbreak of violence. Tensions with the majority and minority population have been rising for years. Fighting erupted on Friday when thirty police stations were attacked by Rohingya fighters. This is the most significant outbreak of violence in Rakhine since October 2016, when nine policemen died in similar attacks on border posts.

The people of the minority are being turned away by Bangladesh' Border Control. However, about 3000 people have managed to get past the border and find refuge in camps and villages.

Questions for Discussion:
Is there anything the U.S. could or should do to interfere?

Should the surrounding countries be more welcoming and helpful or are they right to turn the refugees away?

Is there something that could be done to prevent minority/majority outbreaks of violence such as this one and like the Rwandan Genocide?
