Went to the encampment at my university yesterday. It is growing strong.

It is good to know people who don’t accept genocide, in Yangon or in Montreal.

Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body.
SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand.
One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.

They held a public execution. It’s a sign they are going to rule the population with brute force. I feel sorry for the civilians living in Kokang but a can of worms has been opened. Important to note tho is not all revolutionary groups are as barbaric as MNDAA.

“My argument is that the junta is not failing from an economic perspective because its original objective is to strengthen itself at the expense of the nation's overall economic development.”

This thread is only a fraction of what I've seen & what people told me in Karenni state, Myanmar.

If any editors would be interested in any stories about Karenni, the people, war, refugees, war crimes, drone units etc, or if anyone know of any editors who might, my DMs are open!

All it takes to get Rakhine leaders rattled is military's coercion of 100 something Rohingya to hold placards against AA, sigh. Too easy.

Instead of this, there will be the first battalion of Rohingya. That’s why I never do predictions leaving it to astrologers who use more complicated methods than academics.

Now that I follow some “fellow” polsci students, my twitter became LinkedIn 😤😤. I am amazed this platform can be exclusively used for endless self promotion instead of arguing with randos and obsessively following news. Y’all need some personality.

Video footage of Rohingya men forcibly recruited to fight for the state once hostile to their existence. Is army using anti-Rakhine sentiments to recruit them? Smiling faces suggest so. If only they knew what’s ahead.

Ramree Island has been successfully taken over by the AA, according to Arakan State's most established media outlet, Narinjara

This is 30-40 km from vast Kyaukphyu port and pipeline infrastructure, through which extensive imports to China are transferred, worth billions per year
