"send a clear message to Myanmar and to the rest of the international community that the world must not stand by and do nothing in the face of terrible atrocities that are occurring around us. It is a shame for our generation that we do nothing while genocide is unfolding right before our own eyes."

-Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou, Gambia

UN failures on Rohingya revealed

A BBC investigation uncovers evidence that UN officials avoided pressing Myanmar on Rohingya rights.

Article highlighting the UN’s systematic failure to help the Rohingya in the midst of ethnic cleansing in Burma. 

According to reports from UN employees in Myanmar people who raised issues to do with mistreatment of Rohingya and the build up to genocide were sidelined, reassigned and kept out of top meetings. Official UN policy appears to have been to avoid raising any points about the systematic mistreatment of Rohingya people to avoid upsetting the authorities.

Personally I have always thought that upsetting authorities was a human rights activist’s job.

Blow for Myanmar’s military as rebels say hundreds have surrendered at key border town

Thailand PM says army is weakening after junta requests permission to land evacuation flight from Myawaddy across the border

Myanmar’s embattled junta has evacuated personnel from a key border position after hundreds of soldiers surrendered to opposition groups, in another humiliating defeat for the army. The military is now on the brink of losing control of Myawaddy, in Karen state, one of the most important border crossings in Myanmar and crucial to the flow of goods between the country and Thailand. It has been controlled by the military for decades. The likely loss of the township will be just the latest embarrassing blow for the military, which has also lost control of swathes of territory in the north of the country, along the border with China and India, as well as areas of western Rakhine state. Hundreds of soldiers defending Myawaddy surrendered in recent days, according to opposition groups, while Myanmar junta authorities asked Thai officials for permission to land an evacuation flight across the border on Sunday. Thailand said it granted the request on humanitarian grounds. Thai prime minister, Srettha Thavisin, told Reuters the military junta was weakening. “The current regime is starting to lose some strength … but even if they are losing, they have the power, they have the weapons,” Srettha said. A commander of an anti-coup group, known as a People’s Defence Force, who spoke from a frontline neighbouring Karen state told the Guardian 617 soldiers and their relatives had surrendered, including 67 officers. Only between 40 and 60 military troops were yet to surrender, he estimated.

I wonder if any of those surrendering are Rohingya since the Myanmar army has now started conscripting the people it tried to wipe out.
