Yangon Informer

Yangon Informer was established August 17, 2017. Its creator, @KirtMausert, was blacklisted from Myanmar by Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD government later that year.

Annnnd we're back

[Yangon Informer @YangonInformer]

Why did the civilian government act this way? Not because of some defect in Suu Kyi’s character, and not because she was secretly cruel. The answer is structural.

That charge does not depend on the constitutional powers she lacked, it depends on what she did with the powers she possessed — and, more fundamentally, on the structural position she sought and crafted for herself.

The National Unity Government massed five hundred troops against the communist fighters of the PLA — not against the junta. The pretext was a detainee. The real question is who owns the revolution.

[Yangon Informer @YangonInformer]

Thanks @KirtMausert
The #ARSA_TerroristGroup killed Rohingya clerics & higher educated people not only in refugee camps🇧🇩 but also in northern ArakanSt🇲🇲.

Both #AA & #ARSA are the same for the #Rohingya & both involved in ongoing genocide against Rohingyas.

Support comrades fighting in PDFs who urgently need your support to buy adequate body armor and other supplies for the struggle against the genocidal fascist Sit-tat

"ARSA has carried out the murders to establish its full control in the camps. After the latest carnage, everyone seems to be silenced," says a #Rohingya activist in Bangladesh.

1. This History Thread is about relations between United States and Burma (Myanmar.) US govt. actions varied from positive to negative impacts, often with question of whether to trade or withhold trade. Exiles from Burma have been influential on policy. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Reminder that ARSA kidnapped and murdered a senior Rohingya religious teacher for refusing to back down from a public fatwa against the group’s tactics.

#ARSA is extremely saddened by the incident that took place which reportedly resulted in the death of 7 men and some injured.

[Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights @arsphrofficial]

There are many followers of Mohib Ullah in Rohingya camps who are working for repatriation. The murdered madrasa teachers were also in favour of Mohib Ullah. https://t.co/rO7CuCE0IR

Animal in photo killed by Myanmar coup Tatmadaw is a mithun (sia) a docile forest ox which is culturally sacred in region. Possible deliberate act of #CulturalGenocide (not killed for food) against Chin people. [for more re mithuns see my pinned tweet] #WhatsHappeningInBurma 🌿

"ARSA did not just kill our brother, they killed our great leader."

[Yangon Informer @YangonInformer]

No one has claimed responsibility, but a Rohingya leader told AFP that Ullah was killed by the extremist group Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, which was behind several attacks on Myanmar security posts in recent years

“It is a work of ARSA,” he said. https://t.co/DXoAsUZmzl
