বদলাবে আবহাওয়া, বাড়বে অস্বস্তি! ফের বজ্রবিদ্যুৎ-সহ বৃষ্টি উত্তরবঙ্গে

পরবর্তী দু-তিনদিনে তাপমাত্রা দু’তিন ডিগ্রি কমবে। আজ ও কাল গরম থাকবে। সঙ্গে বাতাসে রয়েছে জলীয় বাষ্প তাই আর্দ্রতাজনিত অস্বস্তি বাড়বে। আগামী রবিবার পর্যন্ত ভারী বৃষ্টির সম্ভাবনা নেই দক্ষিণবঙ্গের কোনও জেলাতেই। Source link

What I think Top Gun characters would order at a coffee shop

Rooster: Blended lemonade, maybe an iced coffee if he needs the caffeine.

Hangman: Is too "manly" to order anything, but secretly hopes someone buys him a cake pop or a rice crispy bar.

Bob: Apple Juice and a lemon loaf.

Phoenix: Iced americano with vanilla syrup.

Maverick: Chai latte and an almond croissant.

Coyote: Blended strawberry lemonade and a bag of turkey jerky.

Payback: Flat white with almond milk.

Iceman: Earl Grey Tea with a splash of whole milk.

Cyclone: The darkest, most bitter black coffee you can imagine. Adds a pack of madeleines to his order when he knows Maverick will be around.

Warlock: Iced chocolate mocha, or a matcha frappe when he's feeling fancy.

Cyclone Mocha Devastates Bangladesh & Myanmar | Massive Damage & Ongoing...

[insightmyanmarpodcast]

The Diaspora Responds: A Lifeline of Truth and Support in the Wake of Tragedy In our recent Insight Myanmar Podcast episode, retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Mie Mie Winn Byrd sheds light on the junta’s brutal manipulation of aid and its relentless pursuit of power. She recounts chilling tactics—such as deliberately flooding villages during Cyclone Mocha, and stockpiling international food aid, including WFP rations, for military use. As the regime seeks legitimacy through engagement with the international community, Mie Mie emphasizes a critical alternative: supporting the diaspora. The Myanmar diaspora is uniquely positioned to provide timely, direct aid. Immediately following the recent earthquake, they were already coordinating relief efforts. Those inside Myanmar depend on this lifeline—swift, trusted, and deeply connected. This is the moment to empower those who are making a real difference on the ground.

Sittwe: A Ticking Time Bomb in Myanmar

Photo: Rohingya children in Sittwe, Myanmar after Cyclone Mocha ripped through the community in 2023.

If we told you about a community of refugees, where over half a million of the population are children, what community comes to your mind? 

Don’t worry, this isn’t a trick question. With so many children affected by conflict and oppression around the world, it’s gut wrenching how quickly it takes to think of one. 

But what if we told you that the community we’re referring to, this time, is one of the most persecuted minorities in the world? 

If you answered Rohingya, you’d be correct. 

The stateless Muslim minority group has been subjected to grave human rights abuses by Myanmar authorities for decades. Violence in September 2017 forced an additional 890,000 to flee to Bangladesh, leaving them in an extremely vulnerable state. There are still over 150,000 displaced in Myanmar with limited freedom of movement or access to food, water, sanitation, healthcare and education. 

Especially in Sittwe. 

These are 6 pressing updates you should know about Sittwe’s escalation of violence:

The Arakan Army (AA) announced they now controlled the border township of Maungdaw in northern Rakhine State on December 8, 2024. This gave them control of the entire border area between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Fear continues to increase within the Rohingya community in Sittwe as the AA nears the capital. Intense fighting has erupted in the surrounding areas, and the Myanmar Military has increased security in the area.

The checkpoints inside the nearby camps have increased, and the Rohingya are forced to pay money to cross them, sometimes experiencing looting, the checking of their phones, and are often beaten without any reason. In the village where Partners’ adult school is located, people are not allowed to cross the checkpoints after 6 pm, so the class is now being conducted during the day.

People are trying to leave the town by boat. One of the unregistered Rohingya communities we support with monthly rice distributions had a leader arrested and accused of receiving money from people in his neighborhood who were leaving by boat. We heard that he was tortured very badly and not given food for days, before being released. 

In January, all village administrators in the camps area were told to provide young men for conscription. Those who refused were threatened with their villages being burned down. Additionally, people, including young boys aged 13-15, were being randomly arrested. In one seaside community, we occasionally support, the military arrested 70 people for conscription, with over 20 of them being underage. Parents had to pay money to release these young boys. 

The internet connection in Sittwe is almost completely down, and mobile services have been largely cut off outside of small pockets of connection in the downtown area. 

Meanwhile, more than 5,000 displaced Rohingya sheltering at a camp in Rakhine’s Pauktaw township are in urgent need of food after not receiving aid for more than a year, according to Radio Free Asia. 

Last week, the World Food Programme (WFP) announced devastating cuts to food support in Myanmar. The cuts will impact almost 100,000 internally displaced people in central Rakhine who will have no access to food without WFP assistance, including Rohingya communities in camps. 

“Overall, the situation in Sittwe has become very tense. I would personally describe it as a ticking time bomb, with people unsure of when it might explode.” - Partners team member

We’ve been working alongside the Rohingya since 2012. Over that time and to this day, our team has been responding to the ongoing critical needs of displaced and oppressed Rohingya communities, as well as empowering them through sustainable health and education initiatives.

You can help fuel our ongoing response providing emergency relief and establishing access to healthcare and education for refugees in Bangladesh and displaced families who are suffering extreme persecution in Myanmar.

Cyclone Mocha makes landfall

[warningsine]

At least 145 people were killed when Cyclone Mocha hit the country this week, Myanmar’s ruling military has said.

The impoverished western state of Rakhine bore the brunt of the storm that on Sunday tore down houses, communication towers and bridges with winds of up to 210 kilometres per hour (130 miles per hour), and triggered a storm surge that inundated the state capital Sittwe.

The military government said in a statement on Friday that as of May 18 a total of 145 people had been found dead, including 91 in camps for internally displaced people. Earlier this week, it had said three people were killed by the storm.

Earlier this week, a humanitarian group working in the affected area said hundreds had been killed.

Rakhine has a large population of approximately 600,000 Rohingya people, a persecuted, mostly-Muslim minority that successive governments in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar have refused to recognise.

“Relief groups of respective states … are working on rescues and rehabilitation work along with charity civil society groups,” the military government said in the statement shared on its Telegram channels and on Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV).

However, the United Nations and other non-governmental organisations said relief efforts were stalled as they awaited permission from the military to deploy personnel and much-needed food, water and medical supplies to the affected regions.

At least 800,000 people are in need of emergency food aid and other assistance, the UN said.

The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) described “a trail of devastation” across Rakhine State.

The cyclone left “houses flattened, roads cut off by uprooted trees, hospitals and schools destroyed, and telecommunications and power lines severely disrupted,” Anthea Webb, WFP’s deputy regional director for Asia and the Pacific, told reporters in Geneva via video link from Bangkok.

“There are at least 800,000 people in urgent need of emergency food assistance,” she said, adding that “greater needs for food, shelter, water, health and other humanitarian aid are expected to be revealed as we reach more areas.”

Some 400,000 people were evacuated in Myanmar and Bangladesh before the cyclone made landfall, as authorities scrambled to avert heavy casualties from one of the strongest storms to hit the region in recent years.

"Most children cannot go to school."

For many families, this last month has been full of back-to-school shopping,

Class supply lists checked off.

Backpacks stuffed full of little one’s favorite-colored notebooks and cartoon erasers.

First day of school pictures full of cheeky grins snapped on front porches.

The joy and nerves of a new year of school.

For thousands of Rohingya kids, these moments often never come.

The Rohingya are a minority Muslim ethnic group in Myanmar that have long been told by those in power that they do not belong.

In 2012, they were stripped of their citizenship and experienced widespread violence in Rakhine State. Subsequent military operations led to a mass exodus of nearly a million people to Bangladesh in 2017.

The majority of those who stayed in Rakhine State were placed in internment camps. They are restricted from access to jobs, education, and are not allowed to move freely about. When they leave, they face copious military checkpoints where they risk having their few possessions confiscated, bribes demanded of them, and brutal attacks.

Going to school takes on a whole new meaning when discrimination is a constant shadow over every aspect of your life.

In Rakhine State, Myanmar, and Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, we’re supporting local communities so more kids can know that first day of school joy and pursue their dreams of becoming teachers, doctors, scientists – a future generation that can support free and full lives for their community.

An incredible group of local teachers are behind making this vision a reality. Teachers like Hafsa*, who is a 4th grade teacher for 30 students in a village near Cox’s Bazar Bangladesh. She has been teaching for five years.

“I started teaching because I like teaching and I enjoy teaching children.”

Cyclone Mocha wreaked havoc on her life and community. Her home was flooded, along with her school. “The schools have been flooded, (making them) muddy and damaged. Some students' houses were also damaged, and some students lost their books.”

Even before the cyclone, many families were struggling. “Most of the families in this village are poor…most children cannot go to school because they have to work for money.

Some children started to smoke and drink and became addicted, this is the reason I chose to teach and became a teacher.”

Every child should know what it means to live a life of freedom and belonging.

To dream big dreams and pursue them in a classroom full of friends.

One of these students is Zyihadu. “My grandparents are Rohingya, but I was born here.

"I am happy to go to school, it is fun to meet with friends and play. And I like learning new things."

When I was young, I couldn’t go to school because we are poor, I started to go to school at 10 when we had free school.”

A close-knit community brings joy to his life. “I like my village; I am happy living here. I like playing here, the playground I play at is beautiful. I have good friends.”

Our friends at One Day’s Wages are putting love into action and matching every dollar up to $15,000 so that oppression and discrimination do not have the last word for kids like Zyihadu.

Click here to donate today, doubling hope for Rohingya kids and making sure they can dream big.

Thank you for making their future shine brighter.
