A truly wonderful moment with our Rohingya brothers and U.S. State Department officials at the State Department building. It was a privilege to raise the voices and suffering of our people, especially those in Myanmar, on a global stage. During this engagement, we not only presented our community’s demands for an end to decades-long oppression and suffering but also brought hope and renewed determination for a better future for our people.
The Rohingya National League (RNL), along with several allied organizations from the Rohingya community, recently had the opportunity to visit the U.S. Department of State to engage in meaningful dialogue regarding a sustainable solution to the ongoing Rohingya crisis. During this important visit, we held several productive and fruitful discussions with the officials of the State Department, who were not only wonderful in their approach but also showed a genuine interest in the issues affecting our community.
As part of our advocacy efforts, we presented a comprehensive set of 24 key demands that we believe are critical to moving the Rohingya crisis one step closer to resolution. These demands reflect the urgent needs and aspirations of our people and serve as a roadmap toward justice, dignity, and lasting peace.
The RNL extends its heartfelt gratitude to the U.S. Department of State officials for their openness, understanding, and commitment to addressing this humanitarian crisis. We are also deeply thankful to the dedicated and committed members of our team, whose tireless efforts made this engagement possible. It is truly encouraging to witness the U.S. government’s sincere efforts toward finding a sustainable and just solution for the Rohingya community. We look forward to continued collaboration in the pursuit of peace and justice for our people.
It is an honor for me to be working alongside one of my brothers, a true friend and guide, who has always supported me and shown the way to serve our community with honesty and integrity. This picture reminds me of the challenges we faced in reaching the U.S. State Department—financing the trip ourselves and taking leave from our offices—all for the cause of our people. At the same time, it is a constant reminder of the suffering endured by our relatives, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances back in Myanmar, whose voices we carry with us in every step of our advocacy.
