Myanmar erases evidence of Rohingya 'genocide' in Rakhine State

A tightly-controlled government press trip to the scene of a massacre reveals a land of alternative facts.

A narrow dirt path runs through the village of Inn Dinn, in northern Rakhine state in Myanmar. On the western side, 900 Rakhine Buddhists live, farm and worship at a large pink monastery. To the east is an overgrown tangle of brush and burnt trees.

A Buddhist woman drinks tea in her yard, which overlooks the remains of charred huts. “There was a fire,” she says, but she doesn't know who started it.
