Good Sites to follow for Daily Updates on the Rohingya Crisis

In addition to the twitter feeds on the right of this blog page, I urge everyone to follow www.rohingyablogger.com for a daily update of activity and commentary regarding the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar.

Every day brings a sad surprise.  For example, today’s column was entitled “Myanmar Governor and His Distortion of Words in Broad Daylight,” recounting the Turksin Ambassador’s visit to the refugee camps on August 10^th, and the government-provided translator deliberately softening the Rohingya’s statements from “Please help us!” and “We Muslims have been severely oppressed here,” to “We need assistance” for every phrase a Rohingya uttered. (the web page does not allow me to copy the text, so you must all book mark this site:

 Another good daily summary is found in The News, a Pakistan-based online journal which today announced that the UAE has pledged to send $50 million in aid to the Muslim minority in Myanmar . . . still our question remains: to whom do they send it if still no agencies or organizations are allowed in?

I'm going to try and figure out how to post links on this page . . . and then you can all experience this daily piling up of horrors, to which at least the world and the media is finally paying attention.
