In 2015, when Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi won a landmark election in Myanmar, it looked like the start of a new era.

But the country is now in crisis, with tens of thousands of Muslim Rohingyas fleeing to neighbouring Bangladesh after a military crackdown in response to attacks on police posts by Rohingya militants.

Aung San Suu Kyi has not said much - except that the crisis in Rakhine state was being distorted by what she called misinformation.

Her two-time biographer, Peter Popham, told Owen Bennett Jones she should resign over the violence.
