title: Nigerian president likens Myanmar crisis to Bosnia, Rwanda genocides
text: UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday likened the violence in Myanmar against Rohingya Muslims to genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda, urging a halt to the  ongoing ethnic cleansing  and safe return of refugees.   The Myanmar crisis is very reminiscent of what happened in Bosnia in 1995 and in Rwanda in 1994,  Buhari told the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.   He added that the  horrendous suffering  had been caused by  state-backed program of brutal depopulation of the Rohingya inhabited areas in Myanmar on the bases of ethnicity and religion.
