Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

An exhibit featuring photographs and illustrations from the graphic novel THE PHOTOGRAPHER by Didier Lefevre, Emmanuel Guibert, and Frederic Lemercier, which The Boston-Globe praises as "An inspiring, beautiful book ... The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."
SHOW DATES: April 23-May 19
Mon-Friday: 10AM-6PM
Sat-Sunday: 12PM-6PM
OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.
via Twitter @BraggingRights4: "Just got invited to dinner by the delegates from Iraq and Iran! #WHA65 amazing..."
The area around Lake Inle is also famoes for there crafts. This picture is from a knife manufacturer.
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.

4 February 2016. Leer: A child holds a baby with malnutrition before being attended in a clinic run by MSF in Leer, South Sudan.
Fighting between Army forces and Sudan People's Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) took place following a brief takeover by rebel forces on October 2, 2015. Government forces pushed the rebels out later that day. The clashes were followed with intensive looting by armed men who entered the all humanitarian compounds and stole equipment, medical supplies and money. The humanitarian personnel were evacuated and didn't regained access until December, but it's not fully operational yet.
