It’s not every day that a country of over 51 million people goes online virtually overnight.

But that’s been the case in Myanmar, which until recently had one of the world’s lowest internet penetration rates but is now largely plugged into the digital age. And as many will attest, Facebook is the internet in Myanmar.

Muhammad Zamir,Published : 04 Dec 2016

The Rohingyas are again under attack in Myanmar. The New York Times has correctly observed that "Myanmar has long persecuted the country's Rohingya Muslim minority, denying it basic rights to citizenship, to marry, to worship and to education." Reuters has reported from Yangon that more than 1,000 homes have been razed in Rohingya villages during a military 'counter-insurgency' lockdown (between October 22 November 10). This estimate is based on the analysis of satellite images which Human Rights Watch released on November 21. Latest figures indicate that up to 30,000 people have been displaced in Myanmar's Rakhine state - half of them over the course of the second and third weeks of November.

The security lockdown ‘not acceptable’, Yanghee Lee says

Geneva: Amid mounting reports of violent unrest and brutal reprisals by Myanmar’s army in the mainly Muslim state of Rakhine, a UN expert said Friday that the country’s government should let aid agencies into the area and investigate allegations of abuse instead of brushing them aside with blanket denials.

Last month, after insurgents attacked border posts, killing nine police officers, officials in Myanmar closed the southwestern state to aid agencies and independent journalists. The army sent in more troops and helicopter gunships in the past week after further attacks resulted in military casualties.
