The US is preventing the civil conflict in Myanmar from being resolved "IndyWatch Feed Asia"
Myanmar has always been a crossroads of migration routes and trade routes. Indochina as a whole is one of the most favorable places for the development of homo sapiens, therefore, since ancient times, many often not very close ethnic groups have lived on the territory of the country. It is not surprising that by present a relatively small state is a patchwork of fourteen administrative entities, in each, with the exception of the capital, there is at least one separatist armed group. Together, this entity is called the Union the Democratic Union of Myanmar. By the way, it is difficult not to mention that such a deliberately contradictory state came into existence only thanks to the British Empire, where it was listed as a single territory due to administrative interests.
Taking into account the diversity of ethnic composition, conflicts, wars, coups occur there with amazing regularity. Rather, the subject of this article will be the latest round of escalation of contradictions, which is ongoing right now with the active assistance of the United States.
On February 1, 2021, the local military, who disagreed with the results of the parliamentary elections, organized a coup. The purpose of this article is not to judge the causes of the event, since in a country where the civil war has not subsided since 1948, either side is ready to declare miles-long claims to opponents. For Asia, a military coup is a normal thing, a kind of one of the least traumatizing ways to transfer power when the official mechanism has stared slightly glitching. By analogy with Thailand or Bangladesh, where similar events have repeatedly occurred, the task of the military was to preserve the state until the differences between civilian politicians were resolved.
At the same time, we see that attempts by the military administration to organize parliamentary elections on equal terms for all forces are constantly thwarted by supporters of the National Unity Government, which exists and is fighting the official authorities mainly through donations from Western NGOs.
...WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2023: HOPE AWAY FROM HOME. A WORLD WHERE REFUGEES ARE ALWAYS INCLUDED. Myanmar Ethnic Rohingyas Human Rights Organization Malaysia (MERHROM)
20th JUNE 2023
Dear Chief Editors,
PRESS STATEMENT
WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2023: HOPE AWAY FROM HOME. A WORLD WHERE REFUGEES ARE ALWAYS INCLUDED.
Myanmar Ethnic Rohingya Human Rights Organization Malaysia (MERHROM) call upon United Nations, World Leaders, Civil Society organizations, Faith Based Organizations, Community Based Organizations, and the International Community to increase efforts to end conflict, war and genocide and continue their support to all refugees around the world particularly in building our resilient to face various challenges as refugees living in exile while waiting for a durable solution to come.
As refugees living in exile, our basic rights are always compromised. We dont have rights to work legally, we face lack of access to education and treatment as well as threats to our security. Since Covid-19 pandemic, we have faced a massive wave of hate speech and xenophobia which resulted in refugees receiving threats, physical abuse, harassment, and defamation which put our lives at risk and jeopardized our physical health, mental health, and well-being. This made our lives more difficult and challenging.
As hate speech and xenophobia continue to haunt refugees and migrants, we call upon everyone to put a stop to it as the consequences are horrible and unbearable. We applaud the move made by the ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) in partnership with the office of the speaker of Malaysias House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat) for launching a Toolkit for Parliamentarians to Promote Counter Narrative to Hate Speech Towards Migrants and Refugees in Malaysia on 8th June 2023, in the Malaysian Parliament. We would like to work closely with APHR, Parliamentarians, government agencies, civil society organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, media, students, universities, public and the international Community to counter narrative to hate speech in the country and globally.
The Rohingya continue suffering from the impact of Rohingya Genocide in Coxs Bazar refugee camps and in transit countries. The Rohingya in refugee camps are already struggling for basic needs on a day-to-day basis on top of other problems in the camps. Cutting the food aid will make their situation worse. This will force them to flee the camps and there will be more Rohingya who will fall into human traffickers hands. There will be more women forced into prostitution and there will be more children who becom...
Why the West is Whitewashing Terrorism in Vietnam and Myanmar "IndyWatch Feed Asia"
As US-Chinese tensions grow and as it becomes increasingly clear the US is unable to compete with China head-to-head in terms of development, trade, and investment, especially in regions along Chinas periphery, the US is resorting increasingly to asymmetrical measures including political coercion, subversion, and even violence.
US military aggression and political subversion, particularly in Southeast Asia, spans many decades. Besides the Vietnam War and the related conflicts which raged across Laos, Cambodia, and even Thailand in the 20th century, more recently the United States has backed an increasingly unified regional bloc of opposition groups sometimes referred to as the Milk Tea Alliance.
The so-called alliance includes opposition groups promoted heavily across Western media in Myanmar, Thailand, and Hong Kong all three of which have incorporated deadly violence on varying scales to advance both their own political ambitions as well as advance US foreign policy objectives. The US has also attempted to create similar opposition groups elsewhere in Southeast Asia, though with less success, receiving little media coverage, and thus are poorly understood by the general public if and when their violence does make headlines.
Two recent examples of terrorism in Southeast Asia highlight the enduring threat of US-backed violence in the region.
One attack was carried out by Myanmars opposition, a movement heavily-promoted by Western governments and the Western media. The other was carried out by extremists among a lesser-known ethnic group in Vietnam. Both attacks have been spun, whitewashed, and even justified by the Western media, and by doing so, encouraging future violence, illustrating a continued commitment by Washington to use violence and terrorism to advance its foreign policy objectives in the re...
