Summary

Abu Talib is a member of Burma’s Rohingya refugee. According to the U.S. State Department, “On March 21, 2022, following a rigorous factual and legal analysis, the Secretary determined that members of the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against Rohingya. Since the Holocaust, the United States has concluded only seven other times that genocide was committed. This determination marks the eighth.” After Abu Talib spending weeks at sea, he was able to escape Burma, and became a refugee in Sri Lanka. Today, he has resettled to the United States as a citizen and helps other members of the Rohingya community navigate the citizen process. On this episode of Change Agents, Andy talks to Abu Talib about the situation in Burma, his journey to the United States, and ways that the community can be helped.
