"Eh Htoo Hehreh"

Suzanne and Ruth are joined by Eh Htoo Hehreh, a former IDP & refugee from Kayah state. Eh Htoo shares his experience of growing up under a brutal military regime. As a young teenager he fled his village to avoid military forced labour, he then spent 12 years living in a refugee camp in Northern Thailand. His story is an important reminder of the harrowing reality that many people in Myanmar, particularly those in ethnic areas, once again face under a brutal military dictatorship. 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.

Naing Myanmar maintains that the song is no longer his, since the '88 uprising “it belongs to everyone”.Graphics: SelinaXinSound Effects: https://mixkit.co**Special thanks to Eh Htoo Hehreh, and all former IDPs and Refugees from Myanmar who continue to raise awareness and draw attention to the plight of those who have suffered at the hands of the Tatmadaw for far too long.
