Foreign Students View Capitol Riot With Fear

English By Sophia Solano Share on Facebook Print this page Shwe Einthe was about to leave her Washington apartment to grab a bite to eat when an emergency message blared on her cellphone, alerting her to violence at the U.S. Capitol building and a 6 p.m. citywide curfew.   My first thought was, Oh, my God, this feels like dictator Myanmar, like I am back in my developing country, said Einthe, an international student at George Washington University. This doesn t happen in the States, curfew doesn t happen in the States. That happens in countries like mine.   Like other international students in the U.S., Einthe said she was shocked by the violent protests over President Donald Trump s election loss on January 6 and how closely they resembled political violence some international students have experienced in their home countries.
