ဖော်ပြချက်/အကြောင်းအရာ:
"Rohingya ethnics who are Muslim, and which are an ethnic minority in Myanmar are known,
from some media sources, to get racial discrimination by the majority of Buddhist ethnic in the
State of Rakhine, Myanmar. This racial discrimination it has drawn much criticism. Myanmar,
which has historically been held by the military junta and is currently in the process of
developing democratization, has become the spotlight of the world media with this case.
Basically, the conflict in Myanmar is more likely to be known as ethnic conflict, not
religious conflict. Because, unintentionally, Rohingya ethnic group are Muslims and Rakhine
people are Buddhist. Rohingya people has been discriminated for years by their own country and
also by the major ethnic group in Myanmar because they are seen as minority by language,
religion and physical characteristics. They are not considered as ‘native’, not a part of Burma and
considered have a closer relation to Bangladesh. Too many forms of discrimination experienced
by the Rohingyas, such as no citizenship given, limitation of employment opportunity, human
rights violations, property confiscation, forced labour, extrajudicial killings, rape, and village
combustions. Many of the Rohingya people flee the country from this devastating situation seeking refuge
in the neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia and just recently, to
Indonesia. In Bangladesh, with help from international organizations such as UNHCR, WFP,
etc., the refugee camp is built in Cox’s Bazaar. In Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, they are
arrived by boat and the Governments of those three countries had initial response as ‘refusing’
the Rohingya people to enter the country. However, as a commitment of humanity, the
Government of Indonesia (GoI), through the Army Force Commander, executed orders to assist
these refugees by delivering food and clean water to their boats that has been floating for quite
some time over Malacca Straits. Because the GoI is still unable to grant permission to these boats
to dock to Indonesian shores. But in the higher level of diplomacy, Indonesia is one of the
countries who, oftentimes, highlights and supports solidarity for peace making process in
Myanmar at Governmental level..."
