Kyaw Moe Tun gave eighty interventions at the United Nations between October 2024 and September 2025.

He mentioned the Rohingya in only eighteen of them. Just five were actually about our crisis.

The other thirteen? Copy-paste sentences shoved into speeches about disarmament, budgets, and prison reform.

Four out of five times, Myanmar's ambassador did not say our name at all.

#Silence is a choice. And Kyaw Moe Tun has chosen to ignore us in the very chamber where our genocide is being judged.

[Shafiur Rahman @shafiur]

Keep Kyaw Moe Tun at the UN. But stop giving him a free pass on the Rohingya.

I reviewed his UN interventions over one year. Only a handful were actually about the Rohingya crisis. Now he has ignored direct questions on citizenship and accountability.

This is deliberate #disinformation, not a simple error. #GAN has fabricated claims that Bangladesh military is training Rohingya groups solely to smear and criminalise our people.

These invented stories are designed to fuel hatred, justify hostility, and place already vulnerable civilians at even greater risk.

Expose these #malicious lies, reject the propaganda, and demand accountability.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

Pro-Arakan Army media like #GlobalArakanNetwork continues to invent dangerous falsehoods. Their latest story about military training is pure #disinformation with zero evidence.

These calculated lies are meant to justify hostility and erase Rohingya voices.

Enough. Expose the #fabricated narratives and hold those who invent them accountable.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

The international community and Bangladesh once facilitated large-scale returns in the 1990s. Those returns did not prevent new waves of flight because the underlying persecution continued.

Today the scale is even greater. More than one million #Rohingya refugees wait in the camps while talks about return proceed without clear guarantees of #citizenship.

History shows that #repatriation without rights only creates another cycle of displacement. That cycle must finally be broken.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

#Hatespeech and online campaigns against #Rohingya continue in several countries that host us. Some schools for our children have been forced to close.

Displacement does not end when we cross a border. Hostility often follows.

True #protection means rejecting hate and defending the dignity of refugees wherever they are.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

#25August is coming again. Nine years after the mass killings and burnings, many of #Rohingya still live in temporary shelters.

We refuse to let the world treat this as old news. #Remembrance is also a demand for #justice that has never arrived.

No more #refugeelife. We want #citizenship, safety and the right to return home with dignity.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

In the camps our youth are still trying to build something positive.

Leadership and volunteer training continues despite the difficulties.

Young people refuse to surrender their future to endless waiting. They organise, learn and support their communities.

This quiet work rarely makes headlines, yet it is one of the strongest signs of our determination to survive with dignity. #RohingyaYouth

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

I am DONE with polite language about the Arakan Army.

They are NOT "ethnic armed actors."
They are NOT "Rakhine resistance."
They are a BLOOD-STAINED CRIMINAL MILITIA that has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Rohingya.

August 5, 2024 was not an anomaly. It was their METHOD.

Drones on civilians.
Burning villages.
Mass executions.

If you still call them "fighters," you are laundering their crimes.

This is evidence from 5 August 2024,,

A #Rohingya genocide victim who lost his leg after an attack by the terrorist Arakan Army,,

Every piece of footage and every story serves as a reminder of the human cost of violence and the urgent need for justice and accountability,,

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

The Arakan Army wants you to believe they are "liberators."

Liars.

On August 5, 2024, they dropped a drone on unarmed Rohingya civilians and murdered hundreds on the spot. This is ONE attack in a pattern of systematic extermination.

They are not fighting for freedom.
They are committing genocide against the Rohingya.

Call them what they are: CRIMINALS.

#ArakanArmyCriminals #Rohingya #StopTheKillings #Myanmar

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

On August 5, 2024, the ARAKAN ARMY — a criminal militia, NOT resistance fighters — massacred Rohingya civilians with a drone strike.

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have been slaughtered, displaced, and erased by these criminals. Stop calling them rebels. Stop calling them fighters. They are murderers.

We demand:
⚡ ICC prosecution NOW
⚡ Global sanctions on AA leadership
⚡ UN protection force for Rohingya

Two years ago today, on August 5 and 6, 2024, the #ArakanArmy (AA) massacred Rohingya civilians as they fled armed conflict in Maungdaw Township, #Rakhine State.

@FortifyRights reiterates our call for the international accountability mechanisms to investigate the AA's attacks on #Rohingya civilians and hold AA commanders criminally accountable.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

On August 5, 2024, the Arakan Army launched a drone strike on Rohingya civilians. Dozens were killed on the spot.

Two years later, the world has moved on. The Rohingya have not.

We demand:
▸ Independent investigation
▸ Accountability for war crimes
▸ Protection for Rohingya civilians

The Arakan Army is forcing Rohingya, Hindu, and other ethnic minorities into dangerous wartime labor in Rakhine State. The AA denies it. They claim detainees only perform "routine physical exercise during their imprisonment." I have heard that kind of denial before. It sounds exactly like the Myanmar military. #ForcedLabor is slavery, no matter which uniform the master wears.

Since seizing territory, the AA has reiterated its commitment to respecting human rights. Yet @FortifyRights has consistently documented war crimes against Rohingya. The massacre near the Naf River in August 2024. Arson attacks in May 2024. And now forced labor across AA-controlled areas. #Commitments on paper mean nothing without accountability on the ground.

Here is what gives me some hope. In June 2025, the @ilo passed a landmark resolution calling on governments to cease selling or supplying the Myanmar junta with military equipment, jet fuel, and financing. The resolution targets the junta's persistent use of forced labor. #ILO action is rare. And it matters.

But the resolution targets the junta, not the AA. Both armed actors use forced labor. Both exploit ethnic minorities. And both operate with near-total impunity. The international community must expand scrutiny to all armed groups in Myanmar, not just the most obvious target. #LaborRights are human rights. And human rights do not stop at the edge of rebel territory.

If the AA wants to govern Rakhine, it must govern by law. That means ending forced labor, releasing all arbitrarily detained Rohingya, and allowing independent human rights monitors into every area it controls. Anything less is just military rule with better branding.

British American Tobacco is still doing business in Myanmar. So are companies tied to Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited and Myanmar Economic Corporation. Those names may sound like dry corporate entities. They are not. They are the economic engine of a military that committed genocide against my people. #CorporateAccountability is not a boardroom debate. It is a matter of life and death.

The UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission established in detail how the military uses its own businesses and foreign companies to support brutal operations. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and Vice Senior General Soe Win sit at the top of MEHL and MEC. The same men the Mission said should be investigated for genocide. #Profits fund persecution.

At least fourteen foreign firms from seven nations have supplied fighter jets, armored combat vehicles, warships, missiles, and missile launchers to Myanmar since 2016. During the same period, the military carried out the forced deportation of more than seven hundred thousand Rohingya. Those weapons did not sit in warehouses. They were used against us. #ArmsEmbargo is not symbolic. It is survival.

The Mission urged the UN Security Council to impose targeted sanctions against military-run companies. It called on consumers, investors, and firms to engage only with businesses unaffiliated with the military. Six years later, those recommendations gather dust while the generals gather revenue.

I ask every investor reading this: do you know where your money goes? Do you know which pension funds hold stock in companies that prop up the Myanmar military? #Divestment is not activism. It is the minimum moral requirement.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

The #Rohingyas are not asking @ASEAN to invade #Myanmar . We are asking them to mean what they say. If the five-point consensus is that and it is, then admit it. Stop pretending. Either enforce the agreement with real sanctions and isolation or stop wasting our time with empty declarations. #Accountability cannot be optional.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

ASEAN's Joke on #Rohingya

In April 2021 ASEAN leaders met in Jakarta and agreed on a five-point consensus:
- Stop their violence
- Facilitate dialogue
- Provide humanitarian assistance
- Allow ASEAN special envoy access
- Visit Myanmar

It sounded serious. It wasn't. ASEAN has failed us completely.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

One in five Rohingya adults in Cox's Bazar is living with hepatitis C.

That is eighty-six thousand people. Eighty-six thousand fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters carrying a curable disease that is slowly destroying their livers because nobody treated them. #Health is a right, not a lottery.

Doctors Without Borders is scaling up treatment, aiming to reach thirty thousand people by the end of this year. I am grateful for their work. But I am angry that it took this long. That for years, unsafe medical practices and overcrowded conditions were allowed to turn a manageable infection into an epidemic.

People in the camps cannot freely leave to seek care. Even if they could, they could not afford it. Their legal status traps them in a cycle where disease spreads unchecked and treatment arrives too late. #Statelessness is not just about passports. It is about dying from preventable illness.

The World Health Organization launched a surveillance and treatment program in 2024. That is progress. But progress is cold comfort to someone whose liver is failing today. We need mass screening. We need pan-genotypic antivirals. We need prevention, not just reaction.

A curable disease should never be a death sentence. Not for anyone. And certainly not for a people who have already survived genocide.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

Every discussion about the Rohingya crisis eventually leads back to one document: Myanmar's 1982 Citizenship Law. It is the legal foundation of our statelessness. It is the weapon that stripped us of identity before the military stripped us of our homes. #Statelessness is violence.

The law recognizes one hundred thirty-five official ethnic groups. The Rohingya are not among them. To become citizens, we must prove residence prior to 1948, a requirement designed to be impossible. In practice, the law rendered us foreigners in our own homeland. #Myanmar made us illegal.

Without citizenship, we cannot study, work, travel, marry freely, or access health care. The regime calls us "Bengali," implying we are migrants from Bangladesh. This lie justifies everything that follows: segregation, apartheid, massacres, and now forced conscription. #HumanRights denied.

The military junta continues to uphold this law. Even the Arakan Army, which controls much of Rakhine, has not committed to restoring our citizenship. The National Verification Card offered to us is not proof of citizenship. It is a trap that erases our identity for surveillance.

Some call the 1982 law lawfare: using legislation as a weapon to legitimize oppression. I call it what my grandparents called it. Theft. The theft of our history, our belonging, and our right to exist as a people. Any future for #Rohingya in Myanmar must begin with abolishing this law.

Constitutional reform that recognizes Rohingya as indigenous citizens is not a distant ideal. It is the minimum precondition for return, for safety, and for justice. Without citizenship, there is no protection. And without protection, there is no home. #Justice begins with recognition.

[Mohammed Dullah @romddullah]

In a few weeks, it will be nine years since August 25, 2017. Nine years since the Myanmar military launched its final, systematic purge of Rohingya from northern Rakhine. Nine years since I watched my homeland burn.

A child born in the camps that week is now in third grade, if they are lucky enough to still be in school. They have never set foot in Myanmar. They have never seen the hills of Maungdaw or the markets of Buthidaung. Their entire concept of home is a bamboo shelter on a muddy hillside in Bangladesh.

The world promised "never again." Then it moved on. Ukraine. Gaza. Sudan. Each crisis deserving of attention, each one pushing the Rohingya further from the headlines. We have become the crisis that everyone acknowledges but no one prioritizes.

But I have not moved on. I cannot. Because every morning I wake up knowing that my people are still stateless, still camp-bound, still waiting for a justice that arrives in slow motion. The ICJ is deliberating. The ICC is investigating. The UN is appealing. And we are still dying.

Nine years is not a statistic. It is a childhood. It is a marriage. It is a life spent in limbo. I will keep speaking because silence is complicity. And I refuse to let the world forget what it promised to remember.

The Arakan Army now controls much of Rakhine State, including towns like Maungdaw and Buthidaung where Rohingya once lived. Some see this as a change. For my people, it is a different kind of danger.

Rohingya in Rakhine are caught between two armed actors who both see us as expendable. The Myanmar junta continues its blockade on humanitarian aid, using starvation as a weapon. The Arakan Army has been accused of forced conscription, arbitrary detention, and abuses against Rohingya civilians.

In August 2024, an Arakan Army drone and mortar attack killed two hundred Rohingya fleeing fighting near the Bangladesh border. That was the deadliest single incident since the 2017 genocide. And yet, the world barely noticed.

The AA has made gestures toward Bangladesh, congratulating the new government and releasing fishermen. Some analysts suggest this opens a door for pragmatic engagement. But pragmatism cannot come at the cost of Rohingya lives.

Any actor that controls territory in Rakhine must be held to the same standard: protect civilians, allow humanitarian access, end forced recruitment, and respect the rights of all communities. Rohingya have suffered enough. We will not trade one oppressor for another.

Malaysia announced that Myanmar has agreed to take back around five thousand Rohingya. Bangladesh continues to push for the repatriation of three hundred thousand more. On the surface, this sounds like progress. It is not.

The principle of non-refoulement is clear: no one can be returned to a place where they face a real risk of persecution. The Myanmar military that would receive these returnees is the same institution that planned and executed the genocide against our people. Rakhine State remains an active conflict zone.

ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights warned that returning Rohingya to Myanmar under present conditions may constitute refoulement. They are absolutely right. You cannot solve a refugee crisis by handing survivors back to their persecutors.

Bangladesh has shouldered an enormous burden for nearly a decade, and I am grateful. But repatriation without safety, voluntariness, and dignity is not a solution. It is a death sentence disguised as diplomacy.

The only viable path forward is to create conditions in Rakhine State where Rohingya can return freely and safely. That requires citizenship rights, an end to apartheid, accountability for crimes, and a guarantee that the military will never again target us. None of those conditions exist today.
