The lack of humanity is shocking

For context, the Aceh province is muslim-majority and governed by sharia law (the rest of Indonesia is not governed by sharia law) so logically should have no problem accepting fellow muslim refugees. But turns out they’re not getting along with the locals and often got involved with fights with the locals, leading to complete rejection by Aceh’s citizens these days. The conflicts are getting so bad recently a mob stormed a refugee shelter to force them to relocate.

I linked the fear brought on by a global pandemic to fascism in 2020. Looks like that’s playing out worldwide. I’m sad to say that I feel vindicated.

Welp, I guess it’ll be onward to Australia then. Seems population displacement and abuses of human rights are the themes of 2023.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The province that forms part of Sumatra island has seen an increasing number of arriving boats, most carrying Rohingya refugees from southern Bangladesh.

Large numbers of Rohingya fled to Bangladesh in 2017 following military attacks on members of the persecuted Muslim minority in their homeland of Myanmar.

The Indonesian navy said a coast guard vessel detected a boat thought to be carrying Rohingya refugees entering Indonesia’s waters on Wednesday.

Indonesia has appealed to the international community for help and intensified patrols of its waters due to a sharp rise in Rohingya refugees leaving overcrowded camps in Bangladesh since November.

Indonesia, like Thailand and Malaysia, is not a signatory to the United Nations’ 1951 Refugee Convention so is not obligated to accept the Rohingya coming from Bangladesh.

Accounts of mass rape, murder and the burning of entire villages are well documented, and international courts are considering whether Myanmar authorities committed genocide and other grave human rights abuses.
