Over 180 Rohingya Refugees From Myanmar Dock In Indonesias …
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 27th March, 2023) The last group of undocumented Rohingya migrants who fled Myanmar[1]'s Rakhine state on wooden ships with over 180 people on board[2] came ashore Indonesia[3]'s westernmost province of Aceh on Monday, Indonesian news[4] agency Antara reported, citing authorities. A local police[5] spokesman confirmed that 184 Rohingya migrants, including 90 women[6] and children, arrived in Aceh at around 3:30 a.m. local time (20:30 GMT on Sunday[7]) all[8] in good health, the report said. Since last November[9], the Indonesian authorities have recorded 918 arrivals of Rohingya migrants who crossed the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea.
Meanwhile, throughout 2021, Indonesia[10] registered only 180 arrivals. The Rohingya, a Muslim[11] ethnic group that mainly resides in Myanmar[12]'s Rakhine, do not have Myanmar[13] citizenship[14] in the predominantly Buddhist part of the country because they are considered illegal migrants from[15] Bangladesh[16], despite the fact that several generations of Rohingya have lived in Myanmar[17]. The exodus of Rohingya to Myanmar[18]'s neighboring countries began in 2017[19] after a massive operation by the Myanmar[20] armed forces in Rakhine against Rohingya rebels who attacked several police[21] posts and army[22] bases.
More than 700,000 Rohingya have fled from[23] Myanmar[24] military and anti-Muslim extremists to neighboring Bangladesh[25], Malaysia[26], and Indonesia[27].
