he International Criminal Court's top prosecutor has formally requested an arrest warrant for Myanmar's military chief, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, over crimes against humanity targeting the Rohingya Muslim minority.

This marks a significant step in seeking accountability for atrocities committed during the military's 2017 campaign against the Rohingya. Allegations of Ethnic Cleansing

The charges against Hlaing stem from what has been described as an ethnic cleansing campaign that began in August 2017.

Nearly a million Rohingya were forced into Bangladesh following a brutal crackdown involving mass killings, rapes, and the destruction of entire villages. Hlaing, leader of the Myanmar Defense Services, is accused of orchestrating attacks by both military and police forces on Rohingya civilians.

Newsweek was a rag in 1995. It's always been slop for lower IQ boomers.

Why are you posting from Newsweek if you agree that it's a rag? Your post directly before this one was Reuters. Your actions don't align with what you're saying here.

Whenever I come across an interesting claim on social media, mostly Mastodon or Xitter, I search duckduckgo with its claim to find a news article with the most apt headline.

Posting articles based on the contents of their headlines rather than the quality of their content or the reliability of the source seems irresponsible.

They are all reporting on the same thing. Some will have vague headlines and some will have the actual content. The word 'atrocities' used by Newsweek is more accurate than 'military campaign' used by Reuters.
