No one wants a junta stooge in Myanmar’s UN seat. But as Kyaw Moe Tun’s mandate comes up for renewal in Sept, should he get a free pass? He still owes answers on Rohingya citizenship (remember Brad Sherman’s interview) and the NUG’s soft-pedalling on accountability for Suu Kyi & the Arakan Army.
ROHINGYA FAMILIES DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN Around 30 Rohingya families were reportedly driven out of Kuala Muda, Penang, Malaysia, last night by vigilante groups. Persecuted refugees are now facing mob expulsions in the country where they sought safety. vide: www.facebook.com/groups/33000...

Cato Aall: A Norwegian Whistleblower in the Rohingya Camps
The forgotten doctor who challenged both the Bangladesh government and the UN as thousands of Rohingya children died.
rohingyarefugee.news
1978 was not a "successful" Rohingya repatriation. It was a catastrophe. Drawing on forgotten archives, interviews and the work of Norwegian UN nutritionist Dr Cato Aall, this investigation revisits the history that today's politicians prefer to hide. counterpointbd.com/the-doctor-o...
The Doctor on the Motorbike
The image of Aall remains striking precisely because he was an outlier. He did not speak the language of diplomatic balance. He spoke about calories, mortality and responsibility. He insisted that hum...

Before Rohingya boats, there were Vietnamese boats. In June 1979, Malaysia’s then Deputy PM Mahathir was reported as backing a “shoot on sight” policy against refugee boats. Tomorrow in an OpEd, I look at how that older language of pushback & lethal force has returned.
Rohingya Camp 05 Landslide 5 Children dead. Many children still trapped. Another natural disaster? These deaths happened in a place where 1m people have been confined for years in overcrowded camps, unstable hillsides, with limited freedom to move, work or choose where they live. Containment kills.

A Malaysian refugee-law academic went on camera and treated the shooting, pushing back, or bombing of desperate Rohingya boats as a legitimate border-control option. Read what Prof. Dr. Salawati Mat Basir said in the podcast: www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/salawati-m...

The Empty Hospitals of UNHCR UNHCR spent $140k on solar equipment for this 20-bed facility on Bhasan Char + fitted it with a $74k Xray machine. Then, they left it empty & unused. The audit exposed another $1.5 million specialised hospital in Ukhiya that was also unused!
A UN audit has exposed UNHCR wastefulness in Bangladesh. Unused hospitals, inflated contracts & idle vehicles. Millions wasted. Rohingya refugees are told to survive on “hope” while the aid economy around them is given millions in contracts. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/the-truth-...
The Truth About UNHCR in Bangladesh - Wasted Money, Empty Promises

AFP has fact-checked the anti-Rohingya disinformation in Malaysia: the viral claims about Ro “demanding Selayang” or wanting Malays “kicked out” were fabricated. One “leader” does not exist; the image was AI-generated. These lies put refugee families at real risk. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

"Hope" is the product sold to donors to maintain funding cycles. If the Rohingya were granted actual refugee rights and legal status in Bangladesh, UNHCR’s role as the permanent manager of a captive population would become obsolete. www.dhakatribune.com/opinion/op-e...

Noor Azizah spoke about Rohingya suffering in Malaysia. In Malaysia’s current anti-Rohingya climate, a Rohingya woman speaking publicly is treated as an offence. The backlash against her shows how refugee testimony is being turned into something to punish. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/noor-aziza...

New piece in RRN Malaysia’s anti-Rohingya panic is no longer only about petitions or policy language. It is now producing profiling graphics, expulsionist memes and open attempts to mark Rohingya as people to be identified, isolated and removed. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/malaysia-a...

Rohingya Refugee News (RRN)@rohingyarefugee.news · 2mo agoThe racist petition page demanding the “removal” of Rohingya refugees from Malaysia is now down & marked as under review. Good - but it should shame everyone who built, signed & amplified it. Its organisers tried to disguise bigotry. Now the petition should be removed permanently.

"Misinformed hate should not be part of our Malaysian identity.” komas.org/stop-facilit... Powerful statement from Pusat KOMAS condemning the Change dot Org petition against Rohingya refugees. Malaysia needs rights-based refugee policy. Not scapegoating, & mass xenophobia.
Stop Facilitating Hateful Petitions, Change.org | Press Statements | Pusat KOMAS
Pusat KOMAS strongly condemns the recent wave of hate directed towards Rohingya refugees in Malaysia, which has been further enabled by a petition hosted on
komas.org
“Modi & Min Aung Hlaing did not address the media after their meeting, unlike most bilateral talks involving visiting heads of state or government in New Delhi.” — AP Perhaps because mass murder, genocide, anti-Muslim politics & military dictatorship are difficult subjects in front of the cameras?
Remove Malaysia’s anti-Rohingya petition. I have written to change.org asking them to remove the petition calling for the “removal” of Rohingya from Malaysia, now with over 417k signatures. This petition targets a stateless refugee community & helps turn xenophobia into a mass, shareable campaign.
