Last weekend ASEAN risked that Min Aung Hlaing might do what he actually did – use the Summit as a propaganda ploy. Indeed, he tried to appear to be what he is not - a legitimate leader. The good news: Those who ARE legitimate are ready to engage: the National Unity Government.
The world’s attention must remain on Myanmar, where I’ve been appalled by heartbreaking violence against civilians and inspired by the nationwide movement that represents the voice of the people.
@poppymcp Indeed a deep betrayal. Has @ASEAN has not heard our peoples cries for help to remove MAL and his thugs? Are they illiterate to be aware of legitimate gov of Myanmar, NUG? Their actions only light more🔥 that this revolution must succeed.
@UN and @ASEAN must not negotiate with #Myanmar terrorists. MLA’s actions since Feb 1 is not a toddler tantrum that you can send him to his room to reflect on his actions. MAL and his thugs must be removed immediately and brought to justice. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
“Min Aung Hlaing, who faces international sanctions for his role in military atrocities & brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, should not be welcomed at an intergovernmental gathering to address a crisis he created,” says @hrw#SaveMyanmar#Burma https://t.co/1MDNmXRrrX
Horrified to learn that in addition to murdering at least 737 people & arresting well over 3200, the junta's attacks have already left nearly a quarter million Myanmar people displaced, according to sources. The world must act immediately to address this humanitarian catastrophe.
@NASAJPL Congrats to everyone involved in this historic flight. Especially, MiMi, a Burmese American Woman in science. Hope she can be a beacon to aspiring young women in #Myanmar.
The little rotorcraft that could.🚁💨
Ingenuity documented its historic ascent today. Here's the #MarsHelicopter's POV during first flight. That's its shadow on the ground below.
#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar on an account of an academic scholar who wishes to bring glory to his country describes, “Just to survive is becoming a privilege’. They are scare and so are we but it won’t stop anyone from doing everything they can to end this military dictatorship!
Victims of #BagoMassacre were tortured inhumanely and denied medical treatments. Junta Terrorists checking door to door in some neighborhoods and locals had abandoned their homes w/clothes on their back to avoid arrests. #Apr9Coup#CondemnDeathPenalty#WhatsHappeningInMaynmar
Truly shaken by #BagoMassacre . Heard death toll may be up to 100 now as the victims couldn’t get treatment and heavy weaponry were used. Couldn’t focus at work at all. My heart is shattering, feeling helpless and devastated. #SaveMyanmar#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
It’s so frustrating that these Junta Terrorists are still able to terrorize the country, arresting anyone who speak up against them, giving death sentences!! Every government around the world has denounced them since the coup. So why are they still able to take away ppl lives!!!
At least 20 people have been killed today in Bago. Hundreds of dozens of people left the town already. - 5 local residents told me. The death toll may rise.
My colleague @Bayer_Julia and I have been digging through a data leak from #Myanmar. We investigated the business interests of army chief Min Aung Hlaing’s children, who are an integral part of a network of businesses run by the military and generals. https://t.co/vRldRqoQNP
