Myanmar's Rohingya Refugees comics journalism up on The Nib

https://thenib.com/myanmar-s-rohingya-refugees?id=erik-thurman&t=authorEarlier this year, I went to India to investigate one of the largest exodus of refugees of our times, where the Rohingya Muslim minority of West Myanmar (Burma) are escaping genocide from their ancestral homeland in Rakhine state.

And now that Nobel-laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and her Party have ushered democracy into the Southeast Asian country, is a path to peace finally in sight?

Or will the new Myanmar government continue to turn its back to ethnic cleansing?

New comics journalism by mine is finally up on the rebooted Nib. Click the image on the left to be taken there.
