ROHINGYA: A CRY FOR HELP
Downloads
Abstract
Hamida, a Rohingya refugee woman, cries as she holds her 40-day-old son, who died as a boat capsized on the shore of Shah Porir Dwip, in Teknaf, Bangladesh, on Sept. 14, 2017. The boat ferrying people, escaping from Myanmar, capsized and many survivors scrambled through the crashing waves to shore. But Hamida’s son while attempting to escape the wrath of State sanctioned persecution, succumbed to the will of the Sea. She was cradling the tiny pale body of her child, while the crowd looked on.1 The fastest growing refugee disaster in the world unfolded along the Myanmar-Bangladesh border in South Asia last year. More than 400,000 people escaped intense violence in Rakhine State2 , where Burmese military, backed by the Aung San Suu Kyi3 government, carried out “clearance operations” purportedly targeting insurgents.4 These Rohingya refugees crossed into the border of Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia to seek an exodus from the violence initiated by the State Military of Myanmar, which is basically text book example of ethnic cleansing5
