Myanmar citizens hold placards and dance as they attend a public gathering held to listen to the live speech made by Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi in front of City Hall in Yangon, Myanmar, 19 September 2017. Suu Kyi used the speech to address national reconcilliation and peace efforts in Myanmar in the 18 months that the nation has been under civilian rule. The Myanmar military has been under increased international scrutiny due to the refugee crisis in Bangladesh caused by ethnic Rohingya fleeing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state due to a security crackdown. Authorities estimate that over 400,000 Rohingya have fled the violence in Rakhine State. (Photo by Nyein Chan Naing/EPA/EFE)
