The #Rohingya refugee crisis is fundamentally a political crisis, and requires a political response, grounded in supporting an inclusive political settlement for all of #Myanmar’s peoples. @JaivetEalom

'Engaging with the regime now will simply show powerful autocrats that their collaboration works, and democracies accede. And it will cause more misery for the citizens of one of the most benighted places in the world.' cfr.org/articles/the-trump-a…
Anwar is right to pursue diplomatic efforts to resolve the #Myanmar refugee crisis. But his deal with Min Aung Hlaing will only make things worse.
Wai Wai Nu sets out the steps he would take if he genuinely wanted to find a lasting solution. @waiwainu

"It has to be stopped", SAC-M's Ben Lee tells BBC of #Malaysia's forced return of #Myanmar refugees.
By proceeding with the plan, @anwaribrahim has also betrayed:
🔴ASEAN
🔴the @OIC_OCI
🔴Myanmar's pro-democracy movement

UNHCR: While authorities say the returns are voluntary, those returned had been held in immigration detention. This raises serious questions about whether decisions to return were genuinely free and informed. @UNHCRAsia

SAC-M's Ben Lee spoke to @BBCWorld about #Malaysia's agreement with Myanmar's junta to refoul nearly 1,500 people to #Myanmar today.
🗣️@anwaribrahim's actions are rooted in political expediency & human lives are the currency in this trade.

"Categorically, Min Aung Hlaing is not a president. He is a war criminal with a stolen title," writes @khinohmar.
"Reuters, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, DW, & Al Jazeera English should stop calling him one."

With those 2 words—”Myanmar president”—one of the world’s most influential news agencies simply handed #MinAungHlaing the legitimacy he is seeking, neglecting 5 years of #airstrikes, #massacres, mass imprisonment & egregious violence he has instigated.

SAC-M & @Anfrel's new paper shows how the #Myanmar junta’s staged elections were engineered to ensure a predetermined outcome to the benefit of its proxy USDP.
“This was purely an exercise to create a “parliament” regardless of the will of the people."

#Myanmar: Relieved by long overdue release of President Win Myint & other prisoners from arbitrary detention, as well as commutation of death sentences. All those detained unjustly since the coup – including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi – need to be released immediately and unconditionally. There must be an end to the unrelenting violence against all of Myanmar’s people - @volker_turk
Isabel Todd retweeted
5 years after its failed coup attempt, #Myanmar junta atrocities are escalating.
The Myanmar people continue to resist & are building the foundations of a new society amid relentless junta airstrikes & extreme deprivation.
They need int’l support NOW.

Felt re-energised after speaking with @ZalNishat about the amazing work he and others are doing at @MosaicGFdn to ensure #Afganistan remains on the int’l agenda. We at @IDiplomat are proud to support such voices.
The military junta’s fake elections are a violent and rigged process that take #Myanmar further into crisis.
Realisation of the federal democratic vision - already being built from the ground up - is the legitimate way forward. @SpecialCouncil
