Getting it straight

Burma’s State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, speaking at a meeting of foreign ministers Monday, said that instability around the world is creating problems such as illegal immigration. “Conflicts around the world are giving rise to new threats and emergencies; illegal migration, spread of terrorism and violent extremism, social disharmony and even the threat of nuclear war. Conflicts take away peace from societies, leaving behind underdevelopment and poverty, pushing peoples and even countries away from one another.” The Associated Press, inaccurately transcribing her remarks, incorrectly said Suu Kyi linked illegal immigration to the spread of terrorism and violent terrorism.
