EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. The aerial view reveals a burned village near Maungdaw, north of Rakhine State, where once stood homes and livelihoods now reduced to ashes. The image showcases the extent of destruction and serves as a haunting reminder of the persecution faced by this marginalized community. The unrecognizable remains of buildings and structures stand as a testament to the adversity endured by the Rohingya people. From above, we witness an entire village reduced to ruins, with only silhouettes of trees remaining amidst the desolation. This creative use of perspective highlights not only the physical damage but also symbolizes how their lives have been uprooted. The burnt landscape is a somber reflection on human suffering and resilience in face of unimaginable violence. It evokes emotions ranging from anger to empathy for those who have lost everything they held dear. The photo's composition draws attention to both nature's beauty and its capacity for destruction. Through this image, photographer Soe Zeya Tun invites us into an aerial vantage point that exposes the harsh reality experienced by Rohingya Muslims. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards protecting vulnerable communities around the world from such atrocities
