A Rohingya refugee joins the Canadian Delegation, aboard Umut, Global Sumud Flotilla, 18 May 2026

  Mon, May 18 at 6:13 AM From the perennial headlines, the world knows Myanmar’s genocidally persecuted Rohingya people as the “boat people”, a label that was conferred on the Vietnamese refugees who fled the Mekong Delta and other parts of Vietnam carpet-bombed by – who else?!! – the United States in its undeclared and illegal war of aggression in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Ko Tinmaung , on the ship. Reading one of Frantz Fanon’s classics, “Black Skin, White Mask” So, it is heart-warming and inspiring to see the sight of Ko Tinmaung, a Rohingya refugee resettled in Canada, aboard “Umut”, the name of his ship which is sailing now in the Mediterranean Sea and hearing his 20-second video message for the world of concerned citizens, including his fellow Rohingya refugees, a million inside the camps on Bangladeshi soil. See here on YouTube . Genocide is an absolute red line for this Rohingya, whether it is directed at his people, Palestinians or Europe’s Jews and other victim populat...

  Mon, May 18 at 2:37 PM Watch his 2 minutes recording before his boat Umut was raided and he and his fellow Global Sumud Flotilla were abducted by Israeli state-terrorist organization that goes by the name of IDF.  He was drawing a comparison between Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestinians and Myanmar's institutionalized and societalized genocide of Rohingyas.      He is now on the "prison ship" bound for Ashdod, Israel  where our dear friend Mairead Maguire was detained before the Zio-Nazis deported her twice.   https://substack.com/@maungzarni/note/c-260940224 https://conflictsforum.substack.com/p/israels-war-unraveling-america Watch it on YouTube (25 minutes): This is the most clear-eyed analysis on the developing war rooted in Israel's Nazi-like so-called Permanent Security doctrine https://youtu.be/tOfZZaWHyHM ================================================================ https://www.savageminds.co/p/how-blood-libel-became-israels-shield...

The Battle for India’s Soul: Majoritarian Democracy Versus Constitutional Secularism

Dr. Serajul I. Bhuiyan   D emocratic processes have been measured by election procedures, vote counting, and the peaceful transfer of power through voting. However, history has repeatedly taught us that democracy should not be based solely on the process but also on the protection of minorities, the upholding of constitutional values, and equal citizenship, regardless of one’s religious, ethnic, or linguistic affiliations. It is possible for nations to hold elections continually even as they move away from their true democratic pluralism, as long as victory in those elections takes precedence. Today, many political analysts believe that India, the world’s largest democracy, is at a critical moment. Recent political developments in states like West Bengal, Bihar, and Assam have deepened concerns about the future of secular democracy, minority representation, and constitutional citizenship in India. For many critics, the issue is no longer just about routine political competition. In...

Navigating the Naf: A security reassessment by Mohammad Abdur Razzak

Image
  Eight years have passed since more than 700,000 Rohingya fled across the Naf River into Bangladesh, what the UN officials called “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing” has hardened into a protracted geopolitical trap. A credible horizon of repatriation is not in sight. Two fundamental policy errors condemned over a million people to suffering and are quietly planting seeds of insecurity—seeds that external forces may be watering quietly to spread wings only. Reality of a policy choice In August–September 2017, as Myanmar’s Tatmadaw executed genocidal “clearance operations,” Bangladesh kept its border open. The decision was apparently driven by humanitarian instinct. The government made a fatal assumption that the Rohingya exodus would also be an isolated incident like before. It failed to see Myanmar’s persecution as a deliberate, generational project of ethnic cleansing. The Tatmadaw’s objective was to empty Rakhine permanently. To succeed, it needed a neighbour willing to abs...
