📰 @waiwainu.bsky.social on #Myanmar junta's sham elections: "This is not an exit strategy, this is a trap. We need to understand that this will only prolong the violence & the conflict, and the junta's disastrous strategy in the country." #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Very disturbing to see #Myanmar junta showcase its meetings with @unhcr.org High Commissioner @filippograndi.unhcr.org ➡️ Engagements with the junta will only legitimize its unlawful position and embolden its commission of atrocities against civilians, further worsening the humanitarian crisis

"The human rights situation in #Myanmar is plumbing new depths, with civilians throughout the country suffering the cruelest toll . . . You, the international community, have all the information you need to act." #OHCHR Volker Türk to #HRC60 ⬇️ www.ohchr.org/en/statement...

Today, Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK urges Argentina’s court to expand its genocide investigation to include atrocities by the #ArakanArmy against #Rohingya. "It is no exaggeration to say that Rohingya in #Rakhine State are on the brink of extinction." said Tun Khin of BROUK bit.ly/4oVjXYq

Denial after denial: the rhetoric by the Arakan Army is becoming more similar to that of the Burmese military. ➡️Int'l leadership must urgently address the crisis in Rakhine State with bold & principled actions to save civilian lives. #Myanmar #Rohingya www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news/2025/09...

🔊"Le moment est venu pour la communauté internationale et régionale, y compris les responsables favorables à la démocratie en #Birmanie, de mettre activement en pratique les leçons tirées de l’histoire afin qu’elle ne se répète pas." #Rohingya www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?art...

“Videos and pictures show death, destruction and desperation, distressingly similar to images that we already saw during the 2017 atrocities committed by the military against the Rohingya” minority, he said in a statement. myanmar-now.org/en/news/un-w...

🚨"In northern Rakhine State, the #Rohingya continued to suffer many human rights violations & abuses, some of which were reminiscent of the 2017 atrocities," reports #UN Human Rights Chief on ongoing atrocities by the Burmese military & Arakan Army. www.ohchr.org/en/documents...

📢"In tandem, Women’s Peace Network also called for cross-border aid and the deployment of an independent investigation mechanism in #Rakhine State to monitor and document ongoing atrocities." #Rohingya #Arakan #Myanmar #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar progressivevoicemyanmar.org/2025/08/29/g...

8 yrs since #Myanmar military committed genocide against #Rohingya, crimes continue unpunished. Rohingya survivors in Rakhine face starvation, persecution & mass killings. Only justice & accountability can stop ongoing genocide. Both military & #ArakanArmy must face justice. tinyurl.com/4rxp4sz7

I’ll be honest. I thought hard (but not v. long) about doing another heavy issue, since this was yet another week where cowards with lethal weapons targeted journalists & food aid. It also marks 8 years since Myanmar military's brutal attack on the Rohingya. news.thin-ink.net/p/eight-year...

"The #OIC underscores the responsibility of all parties involved in the conflict, esp. the #Myanmar military & the #Arakan Army, to ensure the protection of the #Rohingya people inside Myanmar in full compliance with the provisional measures ordered by the ICJ." new.oic-oci.org/SitePages/Ne...

📌"This new policy, if fully implemented, will set a new regional benchmark for a sustainable, rights-based refugee solution" #Bangladesh & others hosting #Myanmar refugees, including #Rohingya, should follow Thailand's steps to support access to employment. www.unhcr.org/us/news/pres...

"'In #Rakhine State, #Rohingya and other civilians are caught in the crossfire between the #Myanmar military and the #Arakan Army and subjected to forced recruitment, human rights violations and other abuse,' the #UN Secretary-General said." news.un.org/en/story/202...

We commemorate today a grim milestone: The 8th year of the #Rohingyagencoicide. In my last thematic report (A/HRC/59/47) to #HRC59, I referred to reproductive violence used as a genocidal tool, by preventing births within a targeted group or to forcibly alter the group’s demographic composition.

🚨"Unless more funding is received by year-end, the #IIMM will have to stop both an open-source project & one investigating sexual violence and crimes against children" says Independent Investigative Mechanism for #Myanmar on #UN funding cuts www.reuters.com/world/americ...

"The more than one million #Rohingya forcibly displaced to #Bangladesh will not be able to safely and sustainably return to #Myanmar until the violence against them ends and perpetrators can be brought to justice" says Head of #IIMM 📰 iimm.un.org/en/rohingyas...

🆕 Women and LGBTQ+ are being targeted with sexual violence in #Myanmar, including in prisons, says #UN Secretary-General in latest annual #CRSV report. #UNSG also reports on rape and gang rape by the Burmese military and the Arakan Army against women in Rakhine State. reliefweb.int/report/world...

🚨"Last week an elderly couple who had been displaced by the recent fighting between the #Myanmar military and the insurgent #Arakan Army are reported to have hanged themselves in despair over their lack of funds and food." #Myanmar #Rakhine #Rohingya www.bbc.com/news/article...

📢 #Thailand "should engage refugee-led groups, humanitarian agencies & UNHCR to transition from a closed-camp aid model to an approach that empowers refugees, grants legal status & documentation, and benefits host communities," urges HRW to support #Myanmar refugees. www.hrw.org/news/2025/08...

"If accountability comes, as #Rohingya insist it must, it will hinge on stories like Amin’s, told plainly and seen clearly." The Naf River massacre, and its devastating effects on victims and survivors, captured in photos ⬇️ thediplomat.com/2025/08/the-...

🚨"The crimes detailed include burning of sexual body parts, other forms of sexual violence and summary executions of captured combatants or civilians accused of being informers." #IIMM reveals more atrocities against #Myanmar people, including women. news.un.org/en/story/202...

“We have made headway in identifying the perpetrators, including the commanders who oversee these facilities, and we stand ready to support any jurisdictions willing & able to prosecute these crimes." IMM issues annual report uncovering atrocities against #Myanmar ppl ⬇️ iimm.un.org/en/myanmar-m...

"We are hearing heartbreaking stories of children crying from hunger & mothers skipping meals," says WFP, noting that "it is expected that situation in northern #Rakhine is much worse" ➡️ Urgent need to enable cross-border aid or humanitarian corridor now. www.wfp.org/news/wfp-urg...

New evidence of alleged #AA atrocities against #Rohingya in Rakhine in 2024. The AA/ULA must facilitate entry of—& fully cooperate with—an independent int'l investigative team to Rakhine to investigate these & other alleged crimes. Perpetrators must be held accountable. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Lobby firm receives $3M from genocidal Junta! Despite the persistent atrocities and starvation, including mass murder and persecution of civilians like the Rohingya and Christians, some continue to profit from the Min Aung Hlaing regime. #Accountability

A year has passed since Naf River Massacre, yet our calls remain unchanged. Now, as we document worsening #Myanmar crisis, WPN is fearful that Rakhine State is all but empty of #Rohingya. We again urge the world to protect civilians, hold AA to account. 📄 www.womenspeacenetwork.org/s/8_6-STATEM...

3/ The situation is worse than 2016-2017 genocide, largely because people have no access to communications in #Rakhine State while they face the AA's forced transfer, displacement, systematic starvation & other atrocities. We need immediate attention to this ongoing genocide.

2/ Int'l community must urgently do everything to protect #Rohingya civilians in #Rakhine State, prevent further atrocities, deploy investigations. Evidence must preserved as required by #ICJ provisional measures. I fear that the AA will continue to cover up their atrocities.

WPN documented the Arakan Army's massacre of #Rohingya in Thang Shout Kan/Hoyasiri, among others, in our report ➡️ womenspeacenetwork.org/s/Report_202... For over a year, based on credible sources, we've been warning about a clear pattern of atrocities in #Rakhine State. Now is the time to act.

The latest arrests follow that of Myo Myo Aye, leader of the Solidarity Trade Union of Myanmar, last week Read more: myanmar-now.org/en/news/more...

📢"Elections under military cannot be credible," notes #UN on worsening #Myanmar crisis. All int'l actors must forcefully condemn junta's sham elections and take all measures not to legitimize it. Genuine democracy will only come from the people. news.un.org/en/story/202...

WPN joins fellow civil society to strongly condemn the #Myanmar junta's sham elections and any action legitimizing the junta's manipulation. We urge #ASEAN & int'l community to instead listen to the voices of the people, in order to effectively bring lasting peace & security ⬇️

🔥ASEAN says #Myanmar junta’s election “will worsen conditions.” ✔️This is a crucial step forward. 📢 237 orgs call on #ASEAN to: 🔴 Reinforce this position w/ concrete actions 🔴 Engage w/ Myanmar's legitimate representatives 🔴 End support to the junta Read full press statement: bit.ly/45iVMdB

"The silence left behind is not peace, it is pain." ➡️ Reports that #Arakan #Rakhine State is now becoming "empty," with #Rohingya being forcibly transferred from their villages, confined, and attacked by AA soldiers. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar #Myanmar www.arakannow.com/arakan-is-be...
