Is there hope? Is the international community doing its part to support Burmese? What's going on? Who is getting affected and how?
In this episode, I had a chance to talk about what is not covered very well by the international media.
I met two Burmese to talk about the current state of the civil disobedience movement in Myanmar.
I enjoyed the conversation very much, and I think you will benefit from this.
Although Myanmar is very different from Korea, their struggle makes me revisit Korea's struggle in the past.
May 18, 1980, is a painful yet significant milestone in Korean democracy. Students protesting the military rule were brutally slaughtered in Gwangju.
In this episode, I unpack the strength and resilience of the Burmese people, which we saw back in the 1980s in Gwangju.
Enjoy, and would love to hear your thoughts on it!
