Stateless Minority People Of The Rohingya

A refugee is defined as a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war or persecution. Since the communist victory in Vietnam in 1975, Australia has become a desirable location for hundreds of thousands of refugees as a result of the pleasant lifestyle and an abundance of employment opportunities. The experiences of Indochinese refugees in the 1970’s and present day refugees contain both similar and contrasting elements. Refugees no longer flee from countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos instead they arrive to Australia from war-ravaged nations in the Middle East such as Iraq and Syria. Nevertheless, these countries are all victims of war and people continue to seek refuge as a consequence of conflict and fear

The situation depicted by Suu Kyi in Burma is of political injustices; the rights of the Burmese to free and fair elections in a democratic nation are negated by despotic leaders who do not practice the Buddhist traditions. According to Austin (82) Suu Kyi became the voice of the people and through her the masses have seen the authoritarian rule which is not acting in their best interests. King presents the social injustices that the blacks and the minorities in American society face. The

In Yang’s The Latehomecomer, the author describes how her Hmong family and many other families are chased out of their homes in the Laos mountain. No longer having anywhere to call home they have no other choice but to become refugees in another country where they don’t feel welcomed. In Ban Vinai Refugee Camp, in Thailand the Hmong people make a dramatic change in there life. The Hmong go from a life of freedom before the war, to having restrictions in everything they do, “There were Thai men in uniforms with guns that surrounded us”(66). The idea of being surrounded comes up constantly throughout Yang’s life in the camps, as a sign of constriction to their human rights. The liberty to roam freely is effortlessly taken away from the Hmong people

The book begins by discussing the historical context of the war and time period in which refugees emerge into the scene. According to Tang, “the United States publicly positioned itself as the champion of displaced Cambodians, passing the 1980 Refugee Act and casting it as a global freedom project and Cambodian refugees as needing rescue by U.S. liberalism” (15). Throughout the book, Tang discusses how the United States contributes to the constant state of captivity that refugees experience from the minute they leave home to the moment they arrive in America. The United States’ participation in the Vietnam War gave rise to Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge; these conditions caused a lot of unrest and forced many people like Ra to flee or remain trapped in captivity under the Khmer Rouge. The United States’ perspective on their actions during the war do not acknowledge their contributions to the national refugee crisis. Refugees are viewed as a solution to the war in the American perspective; thus, Eric Tang introduces the concept of refugee exceptionalism: “the ideologies and discursive practices that figure refugees as necessarily in the hyperghetto but never of it” (14). Tang effectively outlines the subsequent chapters where they each address a certain way in which captivity is maintained for Ra and other refugees. In Chapter 3 that mentions the Welfare Resistance, Ra is shown to be

The article, however, talks about a specific ethnic cleansing event in Myanmar that is currently taking place. The Rohingya have been in Myanmar since the 12th century. Despite this information, they are technically not a part of the Myanmar nation or even have status as legal citizens. Since the end of British rule, in what was then Burma, in 1948, the new government determined that the Rohingya were there illegally. In 1982, there were stripped of their rights as citizens. Just two years ago, they were not allowed to vote during the election season. Some politics use the word “terrorists” to describe them; despite, not having proof that they truly are. As of now, politicians and the army are trying to switch to democracy. This has negatively affected the Rohingya. This past Saturday, General Min Aung Hlaing attempted to justify their attacks on the Rohingya while claiming mass violence that had killed many “was ‘an organized attempt

The first concept the author talked about was, around the world, many refugees have had to flee, to escape to safety after being mistreated in their own country. Refugees are protected by law and given basic civil rights when going to different countries. Another key point she talks about is where these people are and in the article shows us that refugee camps are located throughout the world, but are not the best living conditions. Many refugees go here for asylum. Furthermore, some reasons people can become refugees are because of, war and “ethnic cleansing”, also known

“It was the last time I would see them for 14 years.” Uong, who is a Vietnamese refugee, fled his home at the age of 10—being separated from his family for 14 years (Uong). Being a refugee is rough as it requires one to leave his home country and to start a new life in a completely different world. According to Yen Le Espiritu, a "refugee" is described as a person who harbors "a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion" (Espiritu 209). There are many variations of refugee groups as countless minority groups have left their homeland due to reasons such as persecution. Cambodian Refugees and Vietnamese Refugees are both minority groups in the United States today whom have fled their homeland to escape communism and persecution. These groups have suffered many conflicts and overcome many obstacles in order to rid themselves of persecution and in order to gain the freedom that all humans should possess. Although Cambodian Refugees and Vietnamese Refugees are two different groups, they possess both similarities and differences. Cambodian Refugees and Vietnamese Refugees share differences when it pertains to the topic of war, when it pertains to the topic of hardships faced while fleeing one’s homeland and to the topic of adjusting to life in America—while also sharing similarities when it pertains to adjusting to life in America.

Refugees are people who are fleeing violence and/or persecution and are looking for safety. Refugees are driven from their homes and communities by

Refugees started because of war and economic problems in their countries that force them out of their homes, and rob their children of having an educated life. Refugees tend to stay in refugee camps, but while staying in camps, they don’t have any job opportunities which makes it extremely hard to care for a family with zero income. In order to leave the camps for jobs, an education, and housing, their relatives have to get them and bring them to their country. All refugees that would like to leave the camp must have a visa.

The Rohingya Muslims have tried many things to cope with these attacks, resulting in both good and bad outcomes. For most of the Rohingyas, they were either kicked

According to UNHCR, a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries. When people flee their own country, and seek sanctuary in another country, they apply for asylum – the right to be recognized as a refugee and receive legal protection and material assistance. An asylum seeker must demonstrate that his or her fear of persecution in his or her home country is

Teaching or forcing our children to have only one ethnicity would impact on how they see themselves and how others would treat them. The ethnic purity often restricts some people’s choices of friend and marriage partners. It may also makes obstacles in their future lives, like in their education, careers, and also the neighborhoods in which they want to live; therefore, strict one person within one ethnic culture is not a logical thing.

Life is not easy for them there. They experience a lot of exploitation, discrimination and suppression.
