Pope calls Burma refugees by Rohingya name; apologises for ’indifference of the world’

Pope Francis has asked for forgiveness from Rohingya Muslim refugees for the hurt they have endured and pronounced the word "Rohingya" that he avoided saying days earlier in Burma.

In a moving encounter in Bangladesh, Francis greeted and blessed a group of Rohingya refugees, grasping their hands and listening to their stories in a show of public solidarity.
