Rohingya activists join forces with Myanmar government to cry ‘fake news’

International observers were today hailing Amnesty International for managing to build common ground between the Rohingya and the Burmese government and military, as Rohingya activists decried Amnesty’s new report on alleged ARSA massacres of Hindus.

“We thought it would take years to start to find areas of common ground but Amnesty have managed it in a single day,” said one of an increasing number of independent analysts based in Yangon.  “Now lucrative consultancies are at risk.”

In an uncanny replication of Rakhine and Bamar racist nationalists, and without any sense of awareness of the irony, Rohingya activists have flooded social media with criticism of Amnesty International’s new report.

“Within minutes of the report coming out, it was as if (government spokesperson) Zaw Htay had hacked all the Rohingya activists accounts at once,” one observer told Burma Tha Din.

Zaw Htay himself was gleefully tweeting articles about the report from the same media and organisations he has previously described as producing lies and fake news.

“There is the old saying that to understand another person walk a mile in their shoes, and Amnesty have helped achieve that,” said interfaith consultant C Petbag. “Now each know how the other feels and this truly is something to build on. It shows that at heart, many Rohingya and other activists, and the Myanmar government, have something in common. They are willing to turn on previous allies at the drop of a hat, and are willing to undermine their own credibility crying fake news about credible reports from credible organisations.”

A government insider told Burma Tha Din off the record “Pro Bengali agitators are now attacking the credibility of Amnesty International, which is one of the main organisations documenting alleged human rights violations against the illegal immigrants.  Either our psychological warfare department are very smart, or these activists are very dumb.”

“Amnesty are part of a neo-fascist colonial military-collaborating genocidal fascist international conspiracy and if anybody dies from further volcano eruptions in Hawaii they will have to answer for it,” said Maung Krazi.
