NINE YEARS OF WAITING — WHO WILL LISTEN TO THE ROHINGYA?

This is more than a photograph. It is a painful piece of evidence from the Inn Din massacre, a stark reminder of the atrocities inflicted on innocent Rohingya during the 2017 genocide.

These 10 Rohingya men were captured and killed, and their bodies were later discovered in a mass grave.

They cried out to the world for justice. Eight years passed. Now, the ninth year has arrived.

For nine years, the world has heard their stories—but justice remains painfully out of reach.

And today, instead of receiving justice and protection, Rohingya genocide survivors are still facing hatred and hate speech, including from some voices in Malaysia.

Is this what survivors received after surviving genocide?

They survived the killings.
They survived the displacement.
They survived the destruction of their homes and communities.
But they are still waiting for justice.

Nine years later, one question remains:

Who will finally listen to the Rohingya?

Brazilian Football Legend Roberto Carlos Reportedly Embraces Islam

Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos has reportedly converted to Islam, according to claims circulating on social media and some online platforms.

However, the former Real Madrid and Brazil star has not publicly confirmed the reported conversion himself. At present, there is no clear official statement from Carlos confirming the news.

Roberto Carlos, widely regarded as one of football’s greatest left-backs, enjoyed a legendary career with Real Madrid and Brazil, including winning the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

The reports have sparked widespread discussion among football fans and Muslims online, but the claim should be treated as unconfirmed until Carlos himself or a reliable official source verifies it.

More Than 450 Rohingya Women Reportedly Forcibly Recruited by AA in Rakhine

Rohingya Social News | 15 August 2026

More than 450 Rohingya women have reportedly been forcibly recruited by the Arakan Army (AA) in 14 townships under its control in northern Rakhine State, according to local reports.

The reports claim that some Rohingya families were pressured to provide recruits. Families without adult men were reportedly told to provide a woman, while poorer families were allegedly more affected. Wealthier families could reportedly avoid recruitment by paying money.

Some of those reportedly recruited are girls under 18, raising serious concerns about child protection and their right to education.

Reports also allege that some recruited Rohingya women face restrictions on their religious practices and clothing.

The reported recruitment involves areas including Maungdaw, Buthidaung, Rathedaung, Minbya and Thandwe.

If verified, these allegations would raise serious concerns under international human rights and humanitarian law. Independent investigations are needed, and civilians—especially women and children—should be protected from forced recruitment.
