Convicted, pardoned, then back selling influence abroad. This isn’t justice—it’s recycled power without accountability. #AccountabilityMatters

Plans are afoot in various countries that could work to unseat Myanmar's leader, according to @MyanmarAProject independent.co.uk/voices/mya…

Outsourcing ASEAN’s Myanmar policy to a private individual is a dangerous betrayal — it sidelines the people’s struggle, legitimizes a murderous junta, and turns diplomacy into a backroom business deal. Do not reward the junta for killing #NoBackroomDeal #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

The air strikes are “a cruel and calculated attempt by a desperate regime to reassert control by terrorizing an already devastated population,” said a statement from the Chin Human Rights Organization(CHRO). ucanews.com/news/myanmar-jun…

The #Myanmar #Burma junta didn’t stop attacks on civilians after the #Sagaing Quake.
During 28 Mar-14 Apr,the illegal junta launched 189 air & artillery strikes on civilians - 127 after their "ceasefire".
These attacks killed 134 civilians.

The fact that the EU Ambassador thinks transparency is detrimental tells us everything. If you’re flinging aid into junta hands, bypassing communities, and calling that humanitarian—you’re not neutral. You’re an accomplice.

Of course, it was aired by Israeli public broadcast corporation in November 2023 xitter.gq/intifada/status/172634…
🚨WATCH: Israeli children sing, "We will annihilate everyone" in Gaza, against a background of destruction.
Disturbing video was posted, then deleted by Israeli national broadcaster @kann_news.
We captured it and added English subtitles

The damage is done. There was no compelling evidence provided by the Israeli government.
It was, as we suspected, an ideologically driven exercise, which diverted from the ICJ ruling.
There must be accountability.
#UNRWA
1st the @EU_Commission, now Canada resumes funding to @UNRWA. Other donors are seeing through the fake news from @Israel @IDF @MarkRegev @UNWatch, trumpeted by @nytimes @PatrickKingsley cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-… But starvation has taken hold in #Gaza & they must be held to account

@novaramedia Excellent discussion! I didn't know that no evidence had been provided to the UN on the alleged complicity of UNRWA staff with Hamas. As far as I am concerned, both the UK government and Labour are being deeply immoral in this and in their support of Israel.

If you only watch one thing to get across the @CIJ_ICJ case brought by South Africa against Israel on #genocide charges let it be this! All the issues are laid out with remarkable clarity, lived deep experience and compassion... With @AdviserAdaDieng @AhmedAbofoul @MyanmarAProject on @AJInsideStory #Gaza @AJEnglish

We thank the Philippines Justice Dept for receiving the complaint by @ChinHumanRights against the Myanmar junta. It is truly remarkable that the Government an ASEAN state is openly raising a war crimes investigation into the leader of another ASEAN state mb.com.ph/2023/10/25/doj-to-…

Meeting with the President of Timor Leste.The people of Timor-Leste know the meaning of sacrifice and struggle. They lived through the darkness of oppression, and gave everything for freedom. Now a free democracy, Timor-Leste can use their liberty for people of Myanmar.

Junta’s fighter jets attacked Chin resistance HQ Camp Victoria for the second day, dropping at least two bombs close to the border with India at around 4 pm. Earlier, 3 jets were reportedly scrambled out of Tatar Oo air base & headed to Chin State. No report of casualties.

Thank you @PeterVowles. MAP urges you to tell your bosses in London that the UK must abandon its policy of refusing to recognise the Myanmar people's elected government @NUGPressSPOX. Otherwise these rhetorical protestations sound hollow.

While many Embassies in #Myanmar downgrade their diplomatic ties, @UNICEF Marcoluigi Corsi presents his credentials just 2 days after @RapporteurUn's report on atrocities committed against children. Totally shameful! UNGA doesn't recognize junta as representative of Myanmar!

1. The #Rohingya case resumes today @CIJ_ICJ in the Hague. What a disgraceful outrage that the court is admitting an illegal junta that led a failed coup & whose delegation includes accused international criminals myanmar-now.org/en/news/icj-… #JunkTheJunta #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The #JunkTheJunta campaign, launched by the @MyanmarAProject, is within GBP2,500 of reaching its crowdfunding target.
The campaign is hoping to raise international awareness of the war crimes committed by the Burmese military by working with international media partners.
