🧵#Israel/#Myanmar: In wie weit ist der israelische #Spyware Hersteller #Cognyte an der Ermordung von der #Rohingya-Bevölkerung in Myanmar verwickelt? Klage am obersten Gericht gegen #Cognyte und ungenannte Beamte des Verteidigungs- und Außenministeriums eingereicht. 1/x 
🧵In less than 2 months, #Myanmar & #Russia met at least 3 times via high-level physical visits. #Military chief now making 2nd trip to Russia with his last one only in mid-July. Attending Eastern Economic Forum, he'll likely engage Russian defence again #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
#Russia's Vladivostok Eastern Economic Forum's aimed at attracting investments into Russia. Unclear if Russian President Putin will attend. Since #Moscow attacked #Ukraine 5 months ago, nations like #US & #EU have introduced/expanded sanctions on Russia #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Economic sanctions & #RussiaUkraineWar have certainly impacted #Russia. Same goes for #Myanmar where prolonged #militarycoup for over a year has caused many foreign firms to pull out/stop investments & brought economy to its knees foreignaffairs.com/russian-federa… #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
La #polĂtica tiene sus raĂces etimolĂłgicas en la palabra griega polis (ciudad), es decir, la polĂtica debe ser entendida como el quehacer de la polis, aquel mecanismo a travĂ©s del cual se persigue el bienestar comĂşn.
Sin embargo, toda polis debe tener un #ethos. En consecuencia, la polĂtica entendida como aquello que ordena los asuntos de la ciudad, debe desarrollarse a travĂ©s de una #Ă©tica.
Por eso, no tenĂa sentido hablar de una polĂtica desvinculada de la Ă©tica, porque toda polĂtica, debe ser Ă©tica en su desarrollo.
Los griegos tenĂan razĂłn, pero paradĂłjicamente, no podemos estar más alejados de este concepto. Vivimos una fractura entre la PolĂtica y la Ética.

#ASEAN foreign ministers concluded #Cambodia meeting by giving #Myanmar #military another 3 more months till November @ASEAN leaders' summit to show progress in 5-point consensus & to resolve #coup crisis. Otherwise leaders forced to take additional steps #WhatsHappeningInMyamar
Since @ASEAN leaders came up with 5-point plan 16 months ago, bloc has been "deeply disappointed by the limited progress in & the lack of commitment" by #Myanmar #military to implement it. Some like #Malaysia calling for stronger action towards military #WhatsHappeningInMyamar
Aside from making little/no progress on @ASEAN 5-point consensus, #Myanmar #military has even gone on to ignore regional bloc's pleas to not execute political prisoners, to return #AungSanSuuKyi back to home detention & not jail & to stop the violence. #WhatsHappeningInMyamar
#Russia foreign minister #Lavrov is now in #Myanmar #NayPyiTaw. He's expected to meet #military-appointed foreign minister. But he may also meet military chief while there. After this 1-day visit, he'll head to #Cambodia for @ASEAN-related meetings. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
While @ASEAN chair #Cambodia PM #HunSen is opening #ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting in #PhnomPenh, #Russia foreign minister #Lavrov is in #Myanmar showing greater support for Myanmar. #Moscow aims to up defence, security cooperation with Myanmar #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
Since #coup ongoing for 18 months, #Myanmar #military chief has failed to implement @ASEAN 5-point consensus, ignored #ASEAN chair #Cambodia PM's pleas to not execute 4 political prisoners & return #AungSanSuuKyi to house arrest, failed to stop violence #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

THREAD: A year ago today Nov 8, #Myanmar held its elections where #AungSanSuuKyi #NLD won in an even bigger landslide than 2015 with over 80% of total contested seats. But this win has led to a #militarycoup takeover on Feb 1 (1/5)

#Myanmar citizens' resounding support for #AungSanSuuKyi #NLD caught all especially military by surprise. The results caused greater discomfort for #military who used that as a key basis to stage a #coup alleging electoral fraud which independent election observers refute (2/5)
9 months into #Myanmar #militarycoup, World Bank estimates an almost 20% #economic contraction this year, drive-by shootings becoming common, collapsed education & healthcare sectors. Over 220,000 displaced. @aapp records over 1,200 people have died (3/5) #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
#BREAKING Myanmar crackdown death toll passes 500: monitoring group
#UPDATES The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners says it has confirmed a total of 510 civilian deaths in the Myanmar junta's brutal crackdown on protests, but warns the true toll is probably significantly higher
The grim toll of more than 500 civilian deaths in the Myanmar junta's brutal crackdown on protests is passed as world powers ramp up their condemnation of the military's ruthless campaign against protests u.afp.com/UgZ8
@stephensackur Interesting that the Myanmar Representative to the UN is talking to you about the genocide of his people. But where was he during the #RohingyaGenocide?! #DrSasa
@BBCHARDtalk
@BBCHARDtalk
Excellent questions from you about #AungSanSuuKyi and her defence of the Military at the Hague! Extremely convenient for #DrSaSa to place the responsibility of reigning in the Military to China and @ASEAN!
1. Myanmar’s new ruling military council has handed out at least three positions to leaders of parties allied to the #Tatmadaw proxy party, the #USDP.
The latest is Thet Thet Khaing, the leader of the controversial People’s Pioneer Party (PPP). myanmar-now.org/en/news/people…

2. The PPP was founded in 2019 by businesswoman Thet Thet Khaing, who left the #NLD after being suspended for criticizing its leader #AungSanSuuKyi
The party also includes former military officers and #ultranationalists. bit.ly/3ro7EFG

#BREAKING Aung San Suu Kyi detained by Myanmar army: party spokesman
"With the situation we see happening now, we have to assume that the military is staging a coup," said Myo Nyunt, spokesman for Aung San Suu Kyi's ruling National League for Democracy

#Myanmar 🇲🇲 BREAKING: #AungSanSuuKyi has been arrested alongside the country's President according to her party the #NLD.
It seems that the military is commiting a coup.
It seems that the military is commiting a coup.
Unlike before it will be very hard for #AungSanSuuKyi and the #NLD to profile themselves as champions of democracy in #Myanmar 🇲🇲.
In the short period that they were in a shared position of power they allowed the #Rohingya genocide to take place and defended the perpetrators.

@GlobalJusticeC panel with ex-#UN Special Rapporteur @YangheeLeeSKKU, ex-#KofiAnnan Commission member @lvandenassum & #Rohingya @waiwainu on #Myanmar & #Rohingyas with Prof Lee saying she has seen "no progress" in Myanmar to address Rohingya discrimination. #Justice4Rohingya
Prof Lee adds it's "ironic" to see what happened to the #Rohingyas in #Myanmar in 2017 and prior now being seen again against the #Rakhine #ethnic citizens as she highlights how the #military is shelling and attacking the residents there now #Justice4Rohingya
Prof Lee highlights how it's "entirely doubtful" that the most responsible will be held accountable" for all the alleged atrocities in #Rakhine #Myanmar. Calls for nation to "dismantle" the system of discrimination against #Rohingyas & to amend the laws, reform justice system
No lockdown in #Myanmar for now over #COVID19 #coronavirus. But yet ANOTHER committee formed to deal with virus. This time, headed by VP Myint Swe, ex-#Yangon Chief Minister, ex-military general. New committee has 10 members including #defence #homeaffairs #labour #communications
Remember some 2 weeks ago, #Myanmar had formed a national #COVID19 #coronavirus committee led by #AungSanSuuKyi herself when at that time she maintained the nation has no confirmed cases of the virus. Today, the country sees 15 cases with 1 death just reported today (March 31)
So what's the difference between new #COVID19 #coronavirus committee led by #Myanmar #VicePresident Myint Swe & the one headed by defacto leader #AungSanSuuKyi, also looking to tackle the #pandemic? And committee under #VP Myint Swe will report to #SuuKyi or direct to #President?
#Myanmar maintains it has no confirmed #COVID19 #coronavirus cases as state counsellor #AungSanSuuKyi gives 1st address on virus. Once again she heads yet another committee, this time on tackling global #pandemic that's now seeing more than 174,000 cases, more than 6,700 deaths
#Myanmar's #AungSanSuuKyi again chairs another national committee this time on #COVID19 #coronavirus. This in addition to many others she heads like #Rakhine @uehrdinrakhine, #BeltandRoad #BRI Initiative team to implement plans & National Reconciliation & Peace Centre (govt pics)
Questions are how effective will various committees be if chaired by #Myanmar state counsellor #AungSanSuuKyi alone? How quickly will members be able to execute the plans/initiatives? Won't there be a bottleneck for decisions to be made? And how will nation groom future leaders?
#Myanmar #ethnic #army #ArakanArmy #AA accuses national #military of "deliberately targeting" civilians & urges a stop to such "#WarCrimes" in #Rakhine #Chin. Says #NLD #AungSanSuuKyi government has "kept totally silent" on the issue while banning internet to "hide" these actions
Days ago when #Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi marked 73rd Union Day anniversary, she said some "engaged in wars merely because of the conflicting policies & suspicions or lack of trust among ourselves. Up to the present the sound of guns can still be heard" moi.gov.mm/moi:eng/?q=new…
But #Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi has made no mention of the increasing & more violent #conflicts in #Rakhine between #ethnic #ArakanArmy #AA & national #military even though horrific pictures/videos of civilians killed/injured are emerging more regularly in recent days/weeks
The #ICJ will announce its ruling on #Gambia’s request for provisional measures against #Myanmar on Thursday, in the case alleging #genocide against the #Rohingya. A few thoughts about what to look out for in the Court's ruling in this thread. 1/12
The threshold question is whether #Gambia established all of the required elements to allow the #ICJ to grant provisional measures (prima facie jurisdiction, plausibility of claims, link between PMs requested and the rights at issue, urgency, and risk of irreparable harm)? 2/12
#Myanmar has tried to muddy the waters on jurisdiction and admissibility, but it is hard to imagine the Court not finding that it has prima facie jurisdiction here. Myanmar will have a second chance to make jurisdiction and admissibility arguments at the case's next phase. 3/12
#Chinese President #XiJinping expected in #Myanmar, his 1st visit since 2009. Number of #economic deals said to be inked. #China has huge influence from #investments to peace process on Myanmar. Nation also relies heavily on #Beijing's support on international arena like #UNSC
As international community, particularly the West, criticise #Myanmar for its actions against the #Rohingyas & how nation seems to allow its #military to operate with impunity, Myanmar has increasingly gravitated back to #China after previous Thein Sein govt opened to the West
#China President #XiJinping has met with #Myanmar President Win Myint & State Counsellor #aungsansuukyi. As developing economy, Myanmar still in real need of expertise/assistance & investments in sectors like infrastructure & energy. Pics from Myanmar govt facebook.com/81347652870008…
@Gambia_MOJ confirms the #Hague @CIJ_ICJ will announce decision on Jan 23 on whether #Myanmar must implement provisional measures after #Gambia filed case against Myanmar for alleged #genocide against #Rohingyas. This some 1 month after a 3-day hearing that #AungSanSuuKyi fronted
If The #Hague @CIJ_ICJ orders #Myanmar to implement provisional measures, it's a clear indication the international judges agree with #Gambia @Gambia_MOJ that Myanmar is indeed guilty of committing #genocide against the #Rohingyas. #AungSanSuuKyi has consistently denied that
A point to note: even if @CIJ_ICJ The #Hague judges order Myanmar to implement provisional measures to stop the alleged #genocide still ongoing against the #Rohingyas remaining in #Rakhine, #AungSanSuuKyi & government don't have to do so as court has no enforcement powers
Morning after #AungSanSuuKyi defends #Myanmar & rejects accusations of #genocide against #Rohingyas in the #Hague @CIJ_ICJ, local media front pages plastered pic of her moment with headlines quoting her on "no genocide", don't aggravate the #Rakhine situation
Last of 3-day @CIJ_ICJ in the #Hague on case of @Gambia_MOJ vs #Myanmar for #genocide against #Rohingyas accusations.2 nations to speak 1.5 hrs each #WeStandWithAungSanSuuKyi #WeStandWithYouAungSanSuKyi #WeStandWithDawAungSanSuuKyi trending with growing support for #AungSanSuuKyi
Many also coming up with very creative pictures/artwork supporting #Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi as she defends the nation's case in the #Hague & maintains country has no #genocide or #genocidal intent #WeStandWithAungSanSuuKyi #WeStandWithYouAungSanSuKyi #WeStandWithDawAungSanSuuKyi
#Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi starts her argument defending the nation at the #Hague @CIJ_ICJ against accusations of #genocide made by #Gambia. Says Gambia has given "incomplete, misleading factual picture" of what has, is happening in #Rakhine
#Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi has just been giving history & background of #Rakhine & the Aug 2017 incident. Says "clearance operation" "meaning (has been) distorted". Adds "cannot rule disproportionate force" may have been used. But "#genocidal intent cannot be the only hypothesis"
#Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi at the #Hague @CIJ_ICJ says "no tolerance of #HumanRights violations in #Rakhine" but points out that this court is not the appropriate or relevant court to look at this accusation of #genocide against the nation
#HumanRightsDay today where coincidentally case by #Gambia against #Myanmar for alleged #Rohingya #genocide will start at the #Hague @CIJ_ICJ in few hours. Flurry of statements by #NGOs with many saying this day "marks a crucial step towards #justice" refugeesinternational.org/reports/2019/1…
@hrw says "#Gambia’s #genocide case unlocks a long overdue legal process to credibly examine #Myanmar’s countless #atrocities against the #Rohingya” hrw.org/news/2019/12/1… while @save_children calls @CIJ_ICJ hearing "landmark moment in quest for justice" savethechildren.net
#Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi leads delegation to defend nation's interest at the #Hague Dec 10-12. #Gambia filed case at @CIJ_ICJ accusing Myanmar of #genocide against the #Rohingyas, forcing more than 700,000 to flee to #Bangladesh from 2017. Myanmar rejects allegations (Govt pics)
