Rohingya men, women and children have been fleeing from their homes
for forty years. The tipping point came in August 2017, when almost
700,000 were wrung from Myanmar in a single military operation.
There are now very few members of this Muslim minority left in the
country. Instead, they live mostly in Bangladesh's refugee camps;
or precariously in Malaysia, India, Saudi Arabia and scatterings
elsewhere. With the Rohingya almost entirely in exile, 'I Feel No
Peace' is the first book-length exploration of what their existence
abroad looks like. Journalist Kaamil Ahmed draws on hundreds of
hours of interviews, and on relationships that he has built over
years with Rohingya in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and
throughout the diaspora. He speaks to families who have had their
children snatched, and people kidnapped to feed a system of human
trafficking that is nourished by the community's suffering. Among
the most disturbing and under-reported of his revelations is the
complicit role of the UN and NGOs in the plight of the Rohingya.
But Ahmed also describes stories of resilience and hope, painting a
nuanced picture of how a scattered community survives. The
characters of 'I Feel No Peace' are complex, heart-breaking and
unforgettable.
