Musa Ali was born in Tula Toli, a small village in Myanmar Rakhine region. Rakhine is where Rohingya Muslim Myanmar minority lives. Musa doesn't know what being part of a religion minority means. On August 30, 2017 the army and police closed all Tula Toli village gates. Ali was 10 years old. They burned houses and shot people on the streets. Musa and his family were hiding in the backyard of their shed. Musa's sister Rajuma was looking for her husband. Cries and screams were coming from all around. Musa Ali started to ask for forgiveness, but terrified, he began to run. Musa Ali died, caught by the shot.

Moments of silence

Musa Ali - random Rohingya child from Tula Toli, Myanmar

Take a minute to think about someone random in the world and in time. Someone born in the wrong place at the wrong time. Take this minute to read the text and give your day a chance to internalize about something that could be happening right now, as you're reading or listening, somewhere, where you can't see or hear. Steal this minute from Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin or Spotify. Give back this minute to someone else. Dedicate it. These moments of silence are not to remember something you think you know but to feel something you never took the time to really feel. For a minute.
