For Myanmar’s People, Only One Wish for 2025

The one wish that I want to see come true in 2025 is the fall of Min Aung Hlaing’s regime.

This single wish encompasses all the hopes that we, the Myanmar people, hold dear.

I made this wish as the country in which I’ve sought refuge welcomed the new year at midnight on Dec. 31.

While others shouted “Happy New Year!” I could only murmur, “Min Aung Hlaing, Mother F…”—a curse widely used against the junta boss in Myanmar.
