The ah nah: Conversations with Myanmar podcast was born from a desire to bring into public consciousness the atrocities that are currently being committed in Myanmar (also known as Burma). Our goal is simply to keep the conversation going and to let the people of Myanmar know that they have not been forgotten. We hope that through these conversations we can tell the stories of Myanmar and highlight the horrific human rights abuses that continue to be perpetrated by the Tatmadaw (military), under the watch of the UN and the international community in 2021 (yes, this is happening in 2021!) With so many amazing people both inside and outside the country working hard to fight for freedom and basic human rights, we want to offer a platform for these voices to be heard. Some have been fighting this cause for decades, others are just beginning to raise their voice. Through these informative and inspiring conversations we aim to give hope to the people of Myanmar, that they will one day experience real change and finally live freely and in peace.

Suzanne and Ruth are joined by Sophie Brondel, coordinator at Info Birmanie. Info Birmanie is a non-profit association founded in 1996, born of the desire of French citizens to defend human rights in Myanmar. The association works to support opponents and victims of the military junta by acting with French political and economic decision-makers. As part of their activities, they support all ethnic and religious groups in Myanmar, without distinction. Their positioning allows them to forge partnerships with organizations of different political sensitivities, but always focused on opposing the military regime. Here Sophie talks about the history and work of Info Birmanie, the growing unity of the Myanmar people, and the responsibility she feels France bears in opposing the Myanmar junta.

Song: Kabar Makyay Bu (Until the End of the World), was written and recorded by Naing Myanmar, it became the revolutionary anthem of the 1988 pro-democracy movement and could be heard once again all over Myanmar during the 2021 Coup. Naing Myanmar maintains that the song is no longer his, since the '88 uprising “it belongs to everyone”.
