Welcome to my Substack! This is a space where I share stories and insights about the Rohingya, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. I offer perspectives that are often overlooked. Whether you’re interested in uncovering hidden narratives or gaining a deeper understanding of one of the most pressing humanitarian crises of our time, you’re in the right place.
My work often highlights critical topics such as UNHCR policies, the situation on the island of Bhasan Char in Bangladesh, No Man’s Land, and the activities of armed groups like ARSA, RSO, ANDF, and ARA. Through both written and visual storytelling, I aim to shine a light on underreported issues.
A bit about me: Since 2016, I have been focused on Rohingya and Myanmar-related journalism and filmmaking. I have travelled to Rohingya camps over 30 times, capturing the realities faced by the refugees. In 2017, I created the short documentary Testimonies of a Massacre: Tula Toli, which premiered at Sheffield Docs and received widespread praise, garnering coverage from major news outlets such as the BBC and CNN.
My articles and opinion pieces have been published in outlets like The Guardian, The Diplomat, The Washington Post, Dhaka Tribune, The Daily Star (Dhaka), The Quint, Narratively, and Southeast Asia Globe. I am also a columnist for DVB English News and Dhaka Tribune. I try to provide insightful commentary on the region’s political, humanitarian, and social dynamics.
