#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar: Rohingya Resiliency

Macon and Walter speak with Yasmin Ullah and Tun Khin, two leaders of the Rohingya diaspora, to understand how the coup in Myanmar (Burma) has changed the situation for the Rohingya people. They talk about how the Rohingya diaspora has built new alliances with other groups inside and outside of Myanmar to stop the coup and to resettle the Rohingya back home.

Guests include: 

• Yasmin Ullah,  Rohingya social justice activist and president of the Rohingya Human Rights Network 
• Tun Khin, Rohingya social justice activist and president of the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK

To support the Rohingya, as well as those in Myanmar fighting back against the coup, please visit:

• Karen Women's Organization, which is working to provide immediate support for the victims of violence in Myanmar
• Restless Beings, which is providing support for Rohingya who live in refugee camps. Most recently, the organization has raised money to help the victims of a major fire that swept through one of the largest Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh
