Genocide of the Rohingya
An Indigenous Peoples Struggle in Burma
Socialism 2019
July 04, 2019
With Khadija Y. Mehter
As a ethnic minority in Myanmar that is also Muslim, we will examine how the Rohingya's struggle has been overlooked or downplayed by international players and how global Islamophobia has affected perception of their struggle. We will examine the role China has played and look at where the Burmese "darling of democracy" Aung San Suu Kyi stands and how she's contributed to this genocide.
