A defense minister, standing on another country\u2019s soil, announcing that an entire community will be forced out of their homes. Not a militia. Not a fighter. More than a million ordinary people.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not security. It\u2019s the language of ethnic cleansing, and it\u2019s being said out loud, on camera, with generals standing next to him.<\/p>\n<p>How many times does the world have to hear it before someone stops him?<br \/>\nWhere are the sanctions? Where is the outrage? Where are the governments that claim to defend international law?<\/p>\n<p>Silence is a green light.
