Rohingya Genocide in Myanmar; Aung San Suu's Inaction in Office - Maulana Syed Muhammad Rizvi

- 17 judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) voted unanimously to order Myanmar to take “all measures within its power” to prevent genocide of Rohingya Muslims.

- ICJ has asked Myanmar to report back within four months on how it was implementing the ruling.

- Representing the Myanmar government at the court was Aung San Suu Kyi who defended her government and described the violence as an “internal armed conflict” triggered by Rohingya militant attacks on government security posts. She argued that there was no mass murder, rape or arson.

- When Aung San Suu opposed the oppressive military of Myanmar, she was respected by the whole world and became an icon of peace and was also awarded honorary citizenship of Canada. But in power, she looked away when the Muslim Rohingya minority was brutally oppressed the Buddhist majority.

- A point of reflection is looking at who took up the cause. It was a small Muslim country in Africa, The Gambia.

- Gambian Justice Minister, Abubacarr Tambadou, visited the refugee camp of Rohingya Muslims in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, and listened to survivors’ stories.

- He said, “the stench of genocide” began drifting across the border into Bangladesh from Myanmar. “I realized how much more serious it was than the flashes we’d seen on television screens.” “Military and civilians would organize systematic attacks against Rohingya, burn down houses, snatch babies from their mothers’ arms and throw them alive into burning fires, round up and execute men; girls were gang-raped and put through all types of sexual violence.” 

- A lesson that we can learn from Aung San Suu is that we should always try to ensure that our end is on the right path.

- There is a famous statement in the du‘a ghayr ma’thura: O Allãh, make the end of our affairs to be good.

- A person might be good in the first stage or the second stage of the life but then towards the end, he deviates. 

- The example of Zubayr bin Awwam, cousin of the Prophet and Ali. His actions during the event of the door against Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet. Also his friend Talha, who pledged allegiance to Ali, but then was among the first to rebel against him
