Warrior's Verse: A Rohingya Poet’s Quest For Justice and Freedom

By Abdu Rahman

Abdu Rahman was born on June 8, 2000, in the Maung Daw township of the Rakhine state of Myanmar (formerly Burma). His roots trace back to devoted parents, Mr. Monir Ahamad, an Arabic teacher, and Mrs. Anwar Begum, the daughter of a headmaster. Childhood dreams, laughter, and the loving embrace of devoted parents defined Abdu's early life. Tragedy struck in 2016-2017 in the form of religious persecution and genocide. It shattered the tranquility of his world, and claimed the lives of his parents. Orphaned and forced to flee his birthplace, Abdu, along with the Rohingya community, sought refuge in Bangladesh. However, solace proved elusive for Abdu as he was without his parents at a very tender period in his life, and his harrowing journey would have been less arduous if they were at his side. Abdu had to grow up, become the provider for his siblings. Still though, the cherished memories of his parents keep him going. His mother, a compassionate soul who shared sobering truths about this dusky world, remains his guiding spirit. Up until now, Abdu has resided at Cox's Bazaar, the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh but today, he embarks on another perilous journey to Indonesia, marking a significant step in his ongoing journey for revolution, and freedom from hardship.
