Save the Rohingya People

Immigrant Crisis in Southeast Asia, Royhingya peoples from Burma and Bangladesh

According to the VOA, “The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok says the U.S. military has begun conducting maritime surveillance flights off the west coast of Malaysia, supporting efforts to search for thousands of migrants believed stranded at sea on rickety wooden boats.”

What it is happening to the Rohingya people is piteous. It is a tragic story of a race without a shelter. Going through changes of the situation and war, human history has shown many races lost their land and became minorities in their own country. However, they seem to be more fortunate than the Rohingya people. The Rohingya doesn’t have the minority right in Myanmar although they have been there for many generations, so who are they? Whether the Rohongya people will survive from on rickety wooden boats on the sea or nor, and whether they are extorted, tortured, and raped as slaves of the modern age if the world continues to turn a deaf ear to them to fend themselves.
