Ethnic cleansing: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

*[[Ne Win]]'s rise to power in Burma in 1962 and his relentless persecution of "resident aliens" (immigrant groups not recognised as citizens of the Union of Burma) led to an exodus of some 300,000 Burmese Indians. They migrated to escape racial discrimination and wholesale nationalisation of private enterprises a few years later in 1964.

*The [[expulsion of the Chagossians]] from the Chagos Archipelago by the United Kingdom, at the request of the United States in order to establish a military base, started in 1968 and concluded in 1973.

*[[Idi Amin]]'s regime in Uganda forced the expulsion in 1972 of Uganda's entire ethnic Asian population, mostly of Indian descent. Ironically, this would end up crashing Uganda's economy, as most Ugandan businesses were dominated by the Asian population.
