then you have the problem as i said myanmar where we have a great power that will basically force theu.n. to avert its eyes are not at least not talk publicly about it and that happens, all five of the permanent members have done that but not just those, other powerful regional players have done it. africa is a special case because the african union has spent years building the african peace and security architecture through the african union and sub regional organizations inside africa. and it was impressive work the african union did. they created an early warning system that alex knows very well but in practice it has not worked that well. in practice what it has done is allowed the african states to again divert attention away because they say the african union is handling this when they don't have the capacity or political will to handle it. there is the mantra about african solutions for african problems. but if the african problem has implications beyond africa, sudan's collapse has implications far beyond africa, i think the rest of us also have a responsibility to try to help

others communities, the korean refugees from myanmar. and there's the community from the marshall outside of the marshall islands. and they all in the meatpacking industry. but because of covid and the difficulty of acquiring, for example, a korean translator to drive around the state me and my lack of funding initially i ended up doing most of the interviews in spanish and that was really to being able to build trust. i think most people don't realize the level of fear that people live with a lot of the people that i interviewed are illiterate. and so, for example, imagine that your at tyson tells you you if you speak to a journalist will be sent to jail. and this is an example and so then the worker says to me you know am, i going to be will i be sent to jail? and it's a situation in which they don't have a they have difficulty sources of information and they don't speak english and all these sort of barriers and so it was a it's the is the hardest thing i've ever done. it was just every single thing was, like scratching at the dry ear
