"I really do not want to go into details about my own traumatic experiences," says Saiful Huq Omi. Omi is a photojournalist, who for the past 12 years, has been documenting the oppression and genocide of the Rohingyas.

The Rohingyas are Muslim people based in Rakhine State, Myanmar. After the Burmese government revoked their citizenship, the community has been left stateless, now living a life of pain and suffering. After his first visit to the community, Omi became deeply connected to their struggle. He made it his mission to ensure he got their story told. In 2018, in conjunction with Schilt Publishing, Omi released his work in the form of a photobook. However, that's not where the story ends, and even today, he is fighting hard to get people to listen. . thephoblographer.com
