Myanmar's Rohingya Refugees comics journalism up on The Nib

Earlier 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.

New comic on The Nib: Umbrella Blackout.

My new comic up on The Nib places a spotlight on the Umbrella Movement to show how governments around the world are increasingly turning to alternative measures in order suppress dissent, beyond resorting to tear gas and rubber bullets.

Working with the The Nib on Medium.com

About a year ago, a new digital platform called The Nib on Medium.com opened up its binary doors online. This publication, led by Matt Bors and Eleri Harris, seeks to promote the best in comics journalism, political cartoons, humor, and non-fiction that is being produced by some of the most talented author/artists today. Words with pictures, kicking butt. And recently, I was contacted by one of their editors to see if I'd be interested in collaborating with them on stories about current events and social issues.
