i can't speak for suchi. one of the things we're facing is widespread prejudice and racism directed specifically at the rohingya. the ethnic rakhine who have dominated the political space have suffered from racial intolerance. we would like to see more champions, more vocal voices for the rohingya. we know it a very complicated environment. speaking out on behalf of the rohingya is very complicated. we are urging broader -- not just to the government, also to the armed forces, also the ethnic leaders and also the broad nation of the burmese nation. think about your fellow human beings, the terrible treatment of the rohingya is a terrible -- for all burmese to understand, they're all in this together. rohingy -- we're looking not just for a single champion, but for all burmese to understand that human dignity is a real important aspect of this crisis. >> what kind of a message do you think it sends to people -- could i just ask one more question? >> as longing as you don't ask him to answer it. >> that's fine.
