    Exodus of the Rohingya people after persecution

    Exodus of the Rohingya people after persecution
  • The clashes between Rohingya Muslim minority and the state's Buddhist community started in 2012, with more than 100,000 Rohingyas deserting Myanmar by sea.

    Most of the Rohingya people took the arduous journey to escape forced segregation and infliction at the hands of the government.

    Denied citizenship by the Burmese, Rohingya people are effectually stateless.

  • Malaysia turned away 2 boats packed with hundreds of Rohingya migrants.

    Thailand made it clear that the migrants were not welcomed on its shores.

    Southeast Asia is in the middle of this humanitarian crisis since 2012.

    Appeals by U.N. have fallen on deaf ears as no government in the region, whether Thai, Indonesian or Malaysian are willing to take the refugees into their hinterland.
