The Grimshaw Review of International Affairs Vol. 2, No. 1 and reformulation, but crucially alongside postcolonial critiques of exclusionary imperial structures, would enable a more historically conscious and structurally accountable approach to humanitarian efforts. It is only such an approach – one at the intersection of forms of repression against the Rohingya – which can meaningfully challenge internal political dynamics within Myanmar, which remain predisposed to policies of repression. If anything, Myanmar’s oppressive political equilibrium has been bolstered and strengthened both by international inaction and the flaws inherent within existing aid systems. As long as the regime’s ethnic power structures and exclusionary visions remain unchallenged, it is likely that no form of support will meaningfully alleviate the Rohingya plight. As such, genuine transnational solidarity requires a more explicit confrontation with the internal political structures that perpetuate the Rohingya’s marginalisation. In this context, transnational solidarity must evolve beyond the current paradigm of humanitarian aid alone. As this article has argued, digital advocacy – although heralded for its potential to challenge exclusionary narratives by providing a ‘space of visibility’ for the Rohingya – has ultimately had a limited impact. Despite the growing emergence of digital platforms, such as social media and NGO-led initiatives, their capacity to challenge entrenched power structures remains limited. Whilst the very nature of transnational advocacy in the digital space is transforming due to grassroot movements pushing for legal action, the international legal and political responses to enact change remain slow and ineffective. Therefore, it has been argued that in the absence of substantial political will and structural change, digital advocacy risks devolving into a form of symbolic resistance, failing to generate the meaningful change necessary to benefit the Rohingya. Digital forms of resistance must consequently be repurposed in a similar vein to humanitarian aid – transformed into highlighting and addressing the root causes of suffering, not its most visible expressions. 27
