Check FAQAbout Sharif
Sharif Khiam Ahmed, also known as Eon, is a Bangladeshi journalist and visual storyteller with over 20 years of experience in the field. Passionate about text reporting and photography since his teens, he has become a significant voice in multimedia journalism and filmmaking. Sharif has gained official recognition for his work, receiving the Edward R. Murrow Award in 2021 and the Telly Award in 2023. His selection reinforced his status as a global storyteller, as he was a finalist at the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards in 2021. Sharif expanded into visual storytelling with BenarNews (an online affiliate of Radio Free Asia), where he combined photographic essays and short documentaries to amplify under‑reported voices. In early 2025, in response to the Trump administration's funding cuts and the subsequent closure of Radio Free Asia and BenarNews, Sharif made a bold move. He launched One-Man Newsroom, now operating in a pilot phase, as a beacon of hope for the future of journalism. Sharif also joined Netra News as a Visual journalist. Throughout his career, he has explored various critical issues, with a focus on human rights, political corruption, and cross-border conflicts. His investigations into extrajudicial killings, human trafficking, and the plight of ethnic minorities, especially the stateless Rohingya refugees, have earned widespread recognition for their depth and urgency. Looking ahead, Sharif has ambitious plans. He aims to broaden his scope, delving deeper into documentary filmmaking and pushing the boundaries of traditional journalism. His passion for uncovering untold stories and creating impactful narratives continues to shape his legacy as a journalist and storyteller. Fluent in Bengali and English (with conversational Hindi), he stays active on ****, ****, ****, ****, and ****, sharing both breaking news and the quieter moments that drive his creative vision.

Some celebrated, while others stormed and looted the prime minister’s residence.
The Rohingya people have a longstanding tradition of performing "Taranas," a form of lyrical poetry, using it as a musical expression to convey the themes of personal tragedies.
Lately, Rohingya refugee-musicians in Bangladesh have been composing Taranas that reflect their grim reality – writing about lives lost and singing about their desire to return to Rakhine, Myanmar.
These Taranas are increasingly used during protest rallies in refugee camps to express their growing frustration.
Rohingya refugees who fled violence and persecution in Myanmar report being kidnapped and conscripted to fight in Myanmar’s ongoing civil war for both the junta and the Arakan Army.
They say they were sent to the front lines as human shields, untrained and armed with faulty firearms.
Those who managed to flee and return to the refugee camps in Bangladesh, lived to tell their story.
Protests over Bangladesh’s controversial quota system that reserves 30% of civil service jobs for children and grandchildren of 1971 war veterans have turned deadly.
Different factions of protesters clashed, and police fired rubber bullets, tear gas and sound grenades.
