Rohingya Association of Canada

RAC was found 2007, based in Kitchener, ON. RAC is the voice of the most persecuted Rohingya people of Arakan and their struggle for basic human rights.

In the wake of the #Rohingya #genocide, the UN cannot even protest that such disasters should “never again” be allowed to happen. Even after their failures in #Rwanda and #Bosnia, that promise seemed doubtful. — ⁦@AzeemIbrahim⁩ writes. https://t.co/Klo2BDOmXd

#WorldRefugeeDay

People say HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
We say HEART IS WHERE THE HOME IS
No one wants to leave the home
Lost the home
Not the heart
Art of resilience out of the beating heart
To build the home where the heart belongs
Despite missing the home for so long

@ochamyanmar @pierre_peron Just wondering what is the reason of posting this. What's tge mandate of OCHA Myanmar & what have you been doing? Will your occational tweet w/o any grassroot work or actions on the ground resolve anything?

Despicable - Viktor Orbán of #Hungary met with #Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi & agreed that “coexistence with continuously growing Muslim populations” was an "issue." In case anyone forgot, ASSK is complicit in crimes committed against #Rohingya Muslims https://t.co/eS2iSEcTVi

Look here n see how low #SuuKyi, once the darling of the world, champ of democracy, is. She has ALWAYS been a racist. It was the west who whitewashed her based on their own interest. But the so called "big brothers" r fine with her. Racism means busine$$

@Sthumoe I am not very excited about it. Most likely there a strong hidden agenda behind it.

[Rohingya Association of Canada @RACtw1t]

Welcome to Canada!

@AungThiha27 @matthewfsmith Surely no one survives for centuries, yet racist gov's been asking ONLY the followers of Islam 2 provide evidence back dated upto 1824. Tri-fold NRC is considered null @ void coz Ne Win approved it. But the 1982 stupid law also was enacted by Ne Win and it is acceptable. Stupid.

[Andrew Day @Andrew_Day1982]

I feel inclined to do a thread about this Eid photo from @ProtectRohingya and how I see it representing (near unattainable) joy for most Rohingya.

Let me explain ...

[Matthew Smith @matthewfsmith]

We documented how civilians, including children, have been killed & injured in recent armed conflict in #Rakhine St & how #Myanmar Govt is responsible for blocking aid to those affected. #Rohingya & #Rakhine civilians are suffering from military impunity

Jared Kushner says Palestinians can't govern themselves until they have a "fair judicial system...freedom of press, freedom of expression, [and] tolerance for all religions." So why do the Saudis get to govern themselves? Or the Egyptians under Sisi? https://t.co/0mJEnYpKbb

[Matthew Smith @matthewfsmith]

#Myanmar Minister says National Verification Cards are a path to citizenship for #Rohingya refugees. In reality, the cards posit Rohingya as not indigenous to Rakhine St. The real path to citizenship is amending the discriminatory 1982 Citizenship Law... https://t.co/Z9WGWpTyxs

I call bloody @UN! You have inked the letter with our blood. A disgraceful organization. Now, we #Rohingyas consider you partners in crime of the #Genocide.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

We have to recognize that foreign policy IS domestic policy. We can't invest in health care, climate resilience or education if we continue to spend more than half of discretionary spending on endless wars and Pentagon contracts.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

✅End our endless wars and bring our troops home
✅Center foreign policy around human rights, justice and peace
✅Limit our global armed presence in the form of military bases
✅Increase funding for diplomacy, economic and cultural engagement
