Kyi Kaung‏ @KyiKaung 1m1 minute ago Today, Sheik Hasina comes to NY for UN General Assmbly, ASSK does not. I think it's a mistake. She shld come, speak up, and not go back. I advised that Aung San Suu Kyi be included, as she was due in NY in a few days--but they ignored my advice. Even Columbia Univ did not want to use the correct term "Rohingya" in the 2012 conference title --it called it "transition" At Rohingya Conference NY 2012

with Nobel Laureate A K Sen, who spent his childhood in Burma-- Rohingya Conference Columbia Univ, 2012 I/we did not stand by & do nothing
