In a pre-recorded message, South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called for aid to be used to save the Rohingya according to a report in Norway’s The Local, on 26 May.
The 1984 Nobel laureate was speaking to a conference held in Oslo, Norway.
 “2015 is a big year for Myanmar with both a referendum on its constitution and a general election,” Tutu said. “We have a responsibility to ensure that the plight of the Rohingya is not lost.”
“We have a responsibility to persuade our international and regional aid and grant-making institutions, including the European Union, to adopt a common position making funding the development of Myanmar conditional on the restoration of citizenship, nationality, and basic human rights to the Rohingya,” he said.
