William Childress: Myanmar's Nobel Winning Leader Commits Genocide? I 208
Manage episode 278956536 series 1280728
Myanmar's November elections once again appear to have been unfair, but this time it was "The Lady" Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy that tampered with it. As the leader of the governing party it is now clear that she repressed the vote of 1.5 million Rohingya minorities who almost certainly would have voted against her. Why would they vote against her? Because, as we learn, she has spent the past five years in power overseeing an in-country genocide of their people.
Here with the full story as well as a refresher on her colorful history as a one-time Nobel Peace Prize Winner and champion of peaceful protest, is the man who founded the stand-up comedy scene in Myanmar: Atlanta-based comedian William Childress.
