2:07 pm

after last year's truck attack and burn it. and after a tour overshadowed by the crisis pope francis has ended his trip to asia on his final day in bangladesh he met priests and nuns a church in dhaka. the pope did not name there were a muslim minority while in myanmar he did maser use the term though in bangladesh where more than a half a million have taken refuge. joined by religious affairs expert who has been monitoring the situation on the pope's visit to myanmar and bangladesh for us martin welcome now. the term played an important role during his trip and he didn't say it in myanmar but he has mentioned
2:09 pm
it now why now well i think that he's actually in sort of more neutral territory although i am fairly sure that the vatican diplomatic in the inner circle understands that the mayan mar government the myanmar government is still listening to what the pope says next door. in bangladesh i understand the journal approach to have been one of trying not to. torah t s i mean the myanmar of thirty's for the sake of both getting some sort of deal in being able to sort of undertake diplomatic effort but at the very same time to protect the catholic community of me and mario who would be left of course completely unprotected it must be understood that the term is actually a term that is seen with great suspicion by most people in myanmar not only by the government and i think that it is sort of in the repertoire in the domestic
2:10 pm
repertoire of this vatican to avoid their recall from tensions in the public eye and choose a path of negotiation that actually has brought them very good results in several other crises like cuba or syria. what exactly does that term mean well the term is how muslims mostly in the north of myanmar denominate their own people and. is rejected by myanmar buddhists by and large in favor of muslims from the north or east i mean in this sense i mean they understand this community to be as initially illegal immigrants into myanmar so they use. the name itself is although it's a cost that he's very close to the hearts of many progressives in europe and in the us would think that actually everything is about a name it is very clear for most people actually dealing with the political sort of the political situation in the region that they should not really about name calling i mean what the name is but it's actually preserving human lives in
2:11 pm
a state that he said the verge of a genocide so where from here it might look that actually naming the right name or giving them the name that they choose to actually high priority it's very clear that the vatican that there are higher priorities than actually what the name given is ok so how that the other religious communities how have they reacted to this well there was a lot of pretension the pope was arriving in that got the look community although of course there was a lot of excitement as well but mostly because this is a very controversial issue and the pope taking sides would actually. be made that got the community of myanmar take sides as well leaving them in a situation of political progress so you know by and large i think that this has been an attempt once again setting the grounds for recon say asia now of course of the bottom out of work starts right back thank you very much for jump leisure. you may have heard of the nobel prize but what about the alternative nobel prize
