Shafiur Rahman will not be surprised that I disagree fundamentally with all his main arguments. Here are a few examples: The UN Fact Finding Mission Report on Myanmar reported only what the three authors of the Report had to say. At networkmyanmar.org/unff-mission I have detailed the

This 19th June is 80th Birthday of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Suu 80 birthday campaign has already received over 40,000 videos of people wishing her HBD. This will break Guinness record. People can still send videos to campaign Facebook page. #Suu80

No one has cared to consult the Rakhine/Arakanese (as it happens, the majority population) over the last decade and it’s not surprising as they were written out of the NGOs’ mainstreamed victimhood narrative on the Rohingyas.

As Trump launches his own war in the Middle East, he has made sure there are less journalists to report on it. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Have the Rohingya been instrumentalized by the media (media victims) or have the Rohingya been able to use the media for their own good?

The world learns once again that hard-hitting strikes do not rhyme with speed-driven impact. Was a country of 88 million with its history of 4000 years supposed to swallow its pride and submit in disgrace? economist.com/middle-east-an…

A joke? - curious Rohingya activist map claims Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam as « Arakan » invoking an « erased history » and identifies Myanmar as « Bengal »!

Untold story or another catchy myth making Rohingya story by RAZIA SULTANA ? A hidden genocide of Rohingyas in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam! ?

Jacques Leider RAZIA SULTANA These days I see little if any difference between the persecution and victimisation of the Bamar, Shan, Kayah, Kayin and other ethnicities in Myanmar by the Burmese military and what Arakan's Muslims, including the Kaman, have had to suffer over many years. I recall my time as

In 1946 General Aung San toured Arakan to rally Arakan’s divided political forces to his message of unity. The radical left broke away but enough moderates put faith in the AFPFL. Today Arakan’s people have a leader and find unity in their own midst.
