ASSK is not the problem in Burma. The problem is the Burmese military and the fact that anti-Muslim sentiment in Burma is so pervasive that ASSK, even if she did want to do something for them, can not do anything.
Depose ASSK, and democracy is dead in Burma, and the Rohingya still don't get any relief.
It's a fool's gamble.
Burma as it is right now is a state wrecked by societal tensions only made worse by the military and complicated by the state of the country in 1948. Burma, in retrospect, should have been released from British rule as part of another country as opposed to an independent state by itself. Burma as an independent state made sense on paper, but in practice, Burma is among the most dystopic, sad nations in the world, below-average in most metrics (pun intended).

But the thing is, there is next to no indication (even privately) that she disagrees with the military on this - and tbh I do think those who imagine otherwise are somewhat kidding themselves.

At the end of the day she is a Burmese nationalist just like her dad was.
The thing is, even if the critics are fully right on this, and she is Burmese nationalist just like her dad, that still renders her the (relative) hero of Burmese politics, because the choice is either a nationalism-driven democracy or a return to the good ol' days when the military was in charge of everything.
Better a nationalistic democrat than a military junta. The people of Burma have suffered long enough at the hands of the Burmese military.

This is still happening in Bangladesh
Fair enough.
I for one agree that Sheikh Hasina is more bad than good in terms of her overall record.
