Tahera: Meet This 9-Days-Old Myanmar Genocide Survivor Baby-Girl


Tahera, 9 days old.
Born a Myanmar Genocide Survivor, will she have to live life as an eternal refugee?
This little Rohingya baby survived Myanmar Genocidal Killings while in her mother's womb.
Will she remain stateless the rest of her life? Will she become an equal Myanmar citizen?
She turned 9 days today.
She was born in Balukali camp in Kutupalung, Cox's Bazaar.
Her name is Tahera Begum and her mother is Nur Begum (24).
They were originally from Bolibazaar, N. Arakan or Rakhine, Burma or Myanmar.
What have they done to Myanmar Buddhists to hate them so much?
Is Tehera a 'threat to national security'? A Burmese Buddhist way of life?
It makes me sick to my stomach to think that my country of birth is no better than Nazi Germany.
