like General Naing using terms such as ‘Bengalis’ instead of ‘Rohingyas’ and claiming that they are ‘citizens’ (often without rights or recognition) contributes to the spread of misinformation. This narrative falsely implies that the Rohingya are recent settlers with no claim to indigeneity or rights in Myanmar. Simultaneously, calling Rakhine-origin people in Bangladesh by their ethnic name and acknowledging their citizenship demonstrates a double standard rooted in ethnic hierarchy and political expediency. In another X post, General Naing shares two screenshots accompanied by a caption that, on the surface, appears innocuous, stating that “there is nothing wrong in calling Bengalis as Bengalis.” While this might seem like a neutral assertion, the subtext and intent reveal a deeper, more troubling narrative. The post implicitly addresses the Rohingya community, suggesting that they should accept the ‘Bengali’ label and relinquish their self-identification as Rohingya. 86
