First they came for the Rohingyas, Bengalis, Indians, Muslims and at last all the Democratic forces NLD and DASSK

First they came for the Rohingyas,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Rohingya.

Then they came for the Bengalis,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Bengali.

Then they came for the Kalas (Indians in rude derogatory term),
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Kala.

Then they came for MUSLIMS in Myanmar
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Muslim.

Now they came for Christian in Myanmar
and and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Christian.

Then they came for NLD Government and democratic forces in Myanmar and there was no one left to speak out for me, NLD Government and democratic forces.

Adapted from the following famous words of pastor Martin Niemöller from Wikipedia.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out
because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I
didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a
Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for
me.
