We're talking to Ambassador Shari Villarosa who was Chargé in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, from 2005 to 2008. She's going to help us understand what it was like in that country, which she has described more than once as surreal and she's going to help us understand the Rohingya people, which is a marginalized and small ethnic group in a corner of Myanmar that has been persecuted. Some call it a genocide. Who do we in the West imagine might have prevented that from happening? Aung Sun Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner whom the West pinned a lot of hopes on, But she basically presided over or what many are calling genocide. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ American Diplomat: Real Stories Behind The News.

Great storytelling and more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By M.....⠀ ⠀ “The guests on this podcast are diplomats with a wide range of experiences in the US Foreign Service. The stories and details they tell provide an unparalleled context and details that are fantastic as course material for undergraduates in political science and foreign policy, or anyone interested in foreign affairs. There is also a current events component here as the hosts and the guests tie in their experiences and historical details with what is happening now, this providing a helpful and nuanced level of understanding. ⠀ ⠀ Finally, for those who are currently serving the FS, this is a great additional ‘informal’ mentoring from some of the top US diplomats. Highly recommend as it is both educational and entertaining at the same time.”⠀ ⠀ Subscribe on iTunes: bit.ly/AmericanDiplomat or ♫ @iHeartRadio Podcasts bit.ly/AmDipStories or Google Podcast http://bit.ly/AmDipGooglePod or @Spotify http://bit.ly/AmDipSpotify ⠀ ⠀ #Podcast #Review #Interview #FirstPerson #Authentic #Storytelling #American #Diplomats #USA #Expert #Guests #Conversation #Educational #Entertaining #Context #RealLife #BehindTheScene #BTS #International #Diplomacy #Newsworthy #Relationships #AroundTheWorld
