Eleven civilians were killed and a further 11 were wounded when a junta airstrike hit a tea shop in Naungcho (Naunghkio) Town in northern Shan State, at 2:30 pm on 12 November 2024.

The Lan San teashop, which was in the Naungcho Myoma Market in downtown Naungcho Town, was hit by a bomb dropped by a junta aircraft at 2:30 pm on 12 November. The teashop was a popular place and located in a bustling area often crowded with passenger vehicles.

Watch Trump strike down this fee on his first day with an executive order. Why did Biden take so long to implement these? He had the mandate in 2022.

Authorities in the eastern Indian state of Manipur are warning thousands of Myanmar nationals who fled conflict in the Sagaing region that they have one month to return home, despite the ongoing threat of junta airstrikes that wiped out many of their villages.

Sagaing has seen some of the fiercest fighting between junta troops and the armed opposition since the military‘s February 2021 coup d’etat, which has forced around 5,000 residents of the region to seek shelter in neighboring India’s Manipur state.

Interesting. Cops are corrupt in Mexico that's why they're using troops. Can they make troops cops too?

Which ones have successfully eradicated the drug trafficking culture in their countries? Mexico and Columbia have always been the traditional ones. Not sure how big drug industry is elsewhere.

Israeli fans were assaulted after a soccer game in Amsterdam by hordes of young people apparently riled up by calls on social media to target Jewish people, Dutch authorities said Friday. Five people were treated for injuries at hospitals and dozens were arrested.

Ahead of the game, large crowds of supporters of the Israeli team could be seen on video chanting anti-Arab slogans as they headed to the stadium, escorted by police.

“Let the IDF win, and (expletive) the Arabs,” the fans chanted, using the acronym of the Israeli military, as they shook their fists. It also showed police pushing several pro-Palestinian protesters away from a Maccabi fan gathering in a square earlier in the day.

I haven't suggested otherwise. I'm merely giving you more nuanced and complex understanding of the situation. "Genocide" by definition isn't just against Rohingya. It is happening against many ethnicities who have been fighting the military for decades in Myanmar. Again, for some reason, the Western media focuses only on Rohingya. It is not your fault you are inadequately informed. However you want to insist on this one-dimensional view of Myanmar, it is only a small slice of reality.

HRW decided to use a single instance of Rohingya victims getting killed in the civil war to say the genocide is continuing. Why haven't they done the same for the Karens, the Shans, the Karennis, Chins, Kachins, etc? The report of civilians getting killed in Myanmar during this war is nothing new. I invite you to visit https://lemmy.ca/c/myanmar. I ask you then why is it they only focus on Rohingya? It is because they the HRW are lazy. They have a singular narrative that sells in the West and earns them donations. (The same goes for the press). They aren't out there on the ground monitoring and reporting on the rest of the country. They don't even need to be on the ground. Read the news and speak with all the different factions to grasp the situation.

You are specifically referring to the Rohingya genocide where over 100 Rohingyas were killed. At the time of the Rohingya massacre the government was not a junta; it was under civilian NLD party led by Suu Kyi who won the parliament despite the constitution that was designed to give military power. The junta happened in 2021 when the military lost the election again that they designed to win. So they staged the coup.

Kamala wasn't the better candidate. Biden would've done better. They forced the old man out in the middle of a campaign. Kamala never fared well on her own. Stupid Dems thought because Biden lost the debate he'd lose the election. Well Trump lost the freakin debate, but did it matter?! NO! THAT'S why they need to be gone. They got lucky with Biden. They ain't getting lucky again.
