"Dr Ronan Lee"

Suzanne and Ruth are joined by Dr Ronan Lee, author of Myanmar's Rohingya Genocide: Identity, History and Hate Speech. Ronan talks about what he calls Myanmar’s “failed democratic transition” under ASSK & the National League for Democracy. He offers his expertise on the Rohingya genocide of 2016 / 2017 and talks about the strategic mistakes of the civilian government to not take on the Military at that time. He also discusses the role the international community and the new National Unity Government (NUG) can play in Myanmar’s future. The ah nah: Conversations with Myanmar podcast was born from a desire to bring into public consciousness the atrocities that are currently being committed in Myanmar (also known as Burma). Our goal is simply to keep the conversation going, and to let the people of Myanmar know that they have not been forgotten. You can continue to support the people of Myanmar by keeping this conversation going. You can subscribe to this podcast on all major podcasting apps, including Apple, Spotify and Acast.

Credits: Song: Kabar Makyay Bu (Until the End of the World), was written and recorded by Naing Myanmar, it became the revolutionary anthem of the 1988 pro-democracy movement and could be heard once again all over Myanmar during the 2021 Coup. Naing Myanmar maintains that the song is no longer his, since the '88 uprising “it belongs to everyone”.
