@KenRoth The reality:

Trying to deny reality, Myanmar’s military junta ordered the head of Timor-Leste’s Embassy in Yangon to leave the country after Timorese authorities opened legal proceedings against Myanmar junta officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity. trib.al/y6nzbI9

To the Burmese activists now expressing their “solidarity” and calling #Rohingya their “brothers and sisters” without ever mentioning Suu Kyi’s role or the role of present NUG “ministers” in a genocide: solidarity without accountability is just opportunism. Do better.

@MarkFarmaner As if they have a choice. This is a stupid call, Marco.

Min Aung Hlaing off to Belarus and Russia again. Flying with MAI again, which still hasn't been sanctioned despite its role transporting Min Aung Hlaing for his shopping trips for arms.

@rex_p_stoner Will your research be public or shareable somehow?

@SabatucciEU The 🐐 enjoying grass.

Just imagine if a European leader would do postings like this one…. Immaginate la figuraccia se un leader Europeo facesse un posting così!

@burmesecommie For sure, such movements should be studied and, probably for some, much more supported. The work around this notion of “commons” could be a start.

@MThibu I think you thi dae. In between the rising populist movements in west Africa, and the insurmountable Industrial Base that exists in the east, I think you do understand that there are genuine movements for sovereignty that exist outside of Western ideology.

@MThibu are European liberals just going to be hitlerites now?

If you're wondering why so many right wing accounts on here are posting hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.

Police officers and military soldiers are also asking for money more openly. At the airport's checkpoints and traffic lights, they will do their best to extort 5-20k MMK. One told someone we knew they did not have lunch and were hungry. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Kyaw Myint Tun seems to be proud to publish some nonsense in GNLM. #BullshitJuntaBingo #WHatsHappeningInMyanmar

You know it will be great when GNLM uses content from Sputnik. #TeamBullshit #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Someone told us that people who are snatched in #Yangon are then kept in a place for a couple of days. They might be freed if their families are willing to pay 50 Lakhs MMK. Those who cannot or do not have anyone to do so are conscripted. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Interesting development about #Myanmar. PTT OR = 5% of Myanmar’s total fuel imports of 5 million metric tonnes a year, according to Frontier buff.ly/4jO4h6U

We the Cats have spoken.

1️⃣3️⃣ Another significant issue that I encountered was the topic of transitional justice and national reconciliation. In a striking parallel with the Second World War, Syrian society is deeply fragmented: those with the Assad regime and those against it. However, it is not a matter of black or white. What about those who had to work with the regime to survive? What about those who collaborated with the regime but later turned to the opposition? What about NGOs and humanitarian workers who had to engage with the regime in order to also work with and support the population? So much mutual resentment. I witnessed a heated discussion between a former political security officer who had joined the opposition and a member of an NGO with ties to the Presidential Palace, each blaming the other for working with the regime. Then you have Syrians in formerly opposition-held areas who blame both of them for collaborating with the regime. My fear is that this ultimately leads to the fragmentation of society along the lines of those who worked extensively, moderately, or not at all with the former regime—with the latter being favored and the former marginalized. If so, this will lead to significant conflict and resentment in the long term. An unsolvable dilemma that will take decades to resolve.

@condormandom @JusticeMyanmar My thoughts on you or JfM?

@MThibu @JusticeMyanmar What are your thoughts obnoxious cat?

Thoughts @JusticeMyanmar?

Nothing related to the conscription or shortage of essential goods in #Myanmar. Last year, price for air tickets were over the rook during Thingyan.

Trump’s policy is enabling MAH and Chinese interests in #Myanmar.

On free and fair "elections"... Always good to read this in a Myanmar SAC-affiliated newspaper, using reporting from Xinhua. MAH is undoubtedly in awe of his Belarus counterpart. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
