           situation in the region has not chan-
           ged; the Rohingya Muslims are still state-
           less, deprived of their human rights and
           living under oppression. Major ASEAN coun-
           tries, the global Muslim community and the
           superpowers are still silent.

                This is certainly not the end of the list; nothing has
           changed in Iraq; in Africa, which has long been fighting hunger, AIDS
           and now an unprecedented Ebola outbreak; not in Pakistan, Afgha-

           nistan and Yemen, countries that are facing numerous drone attacks
           and internecine warfare. The only thing that has changed is the focus
           of people's interests on social media. The reaction to violence, opp-
           ression and injustice must not be limited to just a few hours or days,
           particularly when the violence is persistent and worsening.
