The complaint filed in Argentina does not establish any responsibility for genocide by Aung San Su Kyi.

Read her statement she made at ICJ. I think you’ll find the situation is more complex than the simple narrative the international media presents. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/12/12/transcript-aung-

What, exactly, do you mean by the “civilian government was partially included in the genocide?” The military does not take orders from civilian government, it’s the other way around. Civilian gov has no legal or de facto control over Tatmad

Again, the elected civilian government has zero control or decisions or power over the military and border affairs (border affairs, home affairs ministry controlled by military). So when ARSA or AA attack military outposts and police statio

We can only speculate. There are different factions in the military, one of which was the architect of Burma’s democratic transition, the other which opposes the transition (who current dictator/CIC is part of). The military miscalcula

I don’t feel like arguing with people who don’t really know anything about Burma or her situation. She had no involvement in the military’s decisions in Rakhine state. Yes, she defended the perpetrators at ICJ, either as part of a politic

She was not. AASK never had any authority over the military. At all. Military was legally above elected government before the coup, controls all the courts, legally guaranteed 25% of the legislature, wrote the constitution, and the comander

Ah yes, the travesty of murderous thugs shooting their own citizens having their Facebook page taken down. What ever has the world come to.

For all the people oblivious to why Facebook did this: Because Myanmar people lobbied for it, and because the Myanmar military is terrorizing its own people, then lying about it. The military is shooting its own people, kidnapping them in t

Because Myanmar people lobbied for it. The military is shooting its own people, kidnapping them in the middle of the night, and torturing them. Over 10 protestors dead and 50+ injured, as they are using live rounds on protestors. Over 500+

There is no comparison between the US and Myanmar. There is absolutely no comparison between Trump and the brutal dictators who hold Burma hostage. I suppose the Gies family should have walked outside and told the Nazi soldiers they were pi

You really expect her to die on a hill that can’t be held? What’s the point of that? Publicly shaming the military isn’t a way for her to achieve anything. She is a prisoner of the people responsible for the war crimes in Rakhine state. Sh

I’m not glossing over anything. She has been trying to build relationship with generals, and is not going to publicly denounce them just to achieve some kind of moral pageantry. Angering the military so she can appease people who don’t do a

She is the leader of civilian government, which has no control of military. The military is not within civil control, legally. Civilian government has no power to order the military to do anything. She had two choices: 1) Say publicly that

Currying favor with international press at expense of relations with military doesn’t help her party’s situation, or the people of Burma. What is she supposed to do? Come out and denounce the military publicly, effectivey destroying what li

- ASSK has no power over military operations or Rohingya. Elected civilian government has no legal power over military. - Only outcome of not defending military at UN would be sanctions or civilian government losing some of the little power

Most international press is dangerously misinformed about structure of government in Burma. For example, constitution (created by military) gives military control of 25% legislature seats, president, and courts. The military doesn’t answer

Most of the independence armies except Rhakine armies (AA and ARSA) officially want a true federal union, which would require a new constitution. This is the same aim as NLD. Only KNU (Karen army) so far has made statement opposing military

I feel sad for the people of Myanmar. I feel sad for Aung San Suu Kyi and all freedom fighters who have sacrificed their whole life and family to better Myanmar. My personal experience is Myanmar is a wonderful country full of a wonderful p

I am in Yangon, Myanmar now, if anyone has any questions. All Internet and TV, phone service, cut off. However fiber internet land lines are still working. Most ATMs are still working but very long lines. Soldiers and tanks in many parts of
