Some refugees or IDPs (internally displaced people) live like this for years, 20 years maybe. Sometimes ten to a tent. Visitors were invited to get inside all at once. This seemed to amuse the teenagers immensely.

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?

www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html

 

The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

I’ve made this poster to inspire people to help out our japanese neighbor who was heavily crashed by a natural disaster.

 

The concept it’s pretty simple, a traditional japanese doll, crying blood. The tipography was made it in collaboration with a friend inspired into Shodo japanese writing to evoke the message contained in.

 

Please use and abuse in the use of it!!!

 

Fiz esse poster pra poder inspirar as pessoas a doarem ou ajudar de alguma forma os japonesas que tiveram o país arrasado pelas catastrofes naturais.

 

O conceito é bem simples, uma boneca japonesa que chora sangue desesperada por ajuda. A tipografia foi feita de forma colaborativa com meu amigo Péricles Silva e foi inspirada na escrita japonesa tradicional SHODO.

An exhibit featuring photographs and illustrations from the graphic novel THE PHOTOGRAPHER by Didier Lefevre, Emmanuel Guibert, and Frederic Lemercier, which The Boston-Globe praises as "An inspiring, beautiful book ... The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."

 

SHOW DATES: April 23-May 19

Mon-Friday: 10AM-6PM

Sat-Sunday: 12PM-6PM

OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM

 

In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

 

This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.

Very early in the morning on the Irrawaddy River

 

Better on Black

 

Please keep in mind:

Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.

In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.

 

All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.

 

The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.

 

The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.

 

Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.

 

The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

 

- www.humantrafficking.org

- Worldvision

- International Red Cross

- Unicef

 

and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)

- www.myanmar-kinderhilfe

 

This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.

 

Please help, the burmese people need it.

I started our last full day in Yangon and Burma again at the Shwedagon. Over the weeks you get used to start the days early as all burmese people do. Actually you have the feeling that Burmese people do not sleep :)

 

Even if I have visited the Shwedagon already a few weeks ago it was again a breathtaking experience.

 

This picture shows one of the small side towers with the center tower in the background.
