No, the dialogue was only between the USDP and the Burmese government, the military parties, through Rohingya MPs. But they had to be yes-men, because they were under the military and in their party. Naturally, they will not have an independent voice.
So through the ARU, we have proposed to the Burmese government that the Rohingya overseas, like us, the diaspora, want to talk to the Burmese government and initiate a dialogue. We want to be part of the process so we can be a moderate voice coming from outside of the country, and the Burmese government has not responded. So I ask the Canadian government and the international community if there is any way you can facilitate that approach to have the Burmese government talk to us. Maybe that will allay their fear of the unknown. They don't want to talk to us because they have a fear of the unknown.
Once we can start a dialogue, I am confident that we can talk. If we don't talk, they will never know. So that's something for which I want to ask for your help. You can play a role in initiating a dialogue with the Burmese government.
