Abu Talib is a member of Burma\u2019s Rohingya refugee. According to the U.S. State Department, \u201cOn 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.\u201d\n\nAfter 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. \n\nOn 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. \n\nMore about New American Pathways: newamericanpathways.org \n\nSubscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...\n\nSponsors: \n\nHVMN \u2013 You can find Ketone-IQ at https://hvmn.com/ and use promo code ANDY at checkout to save 20%\n\n\nShop IRONCLAD Apparel: https://shop.thisisironclad.com/\n\nChange Agents is an IRONCLAD original.
