The Dhaka Times Desk Finally, floating Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants are getting shelter in Malaysia and Indonesia. For the past few weeks, these residents have been floating in the sea inhumanely starving.
People seem to have never been seen in such a helpless condition. Bangladeshi and Rohingya residents have faced such an inhuman disaster. No food, no water, no shelter, victims of an inhumane situation, these people are floating in the sea from one country to another. No one is giving them shelter. In view of the situation, it seems as if they have no identity as people in such a big world. In such an inhumane situation, finally the international community came forward to the side of these helpless people.
According to international media reports, Malaysia and Indonesia have agreed to temporarily shelter Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants floating in the sea. The two countries agreed on this in a meeting held in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
For the past one week, thousands of migrants heading to Malaysia and Indonesia have been floating on boats without people. The lives of these migrants floating in the Andaman Sea and Malacca Straits are in grave danger. These residents have spent a miserable life in the acute shortage of food and drinking water. Sometimes news of death also comes. In this situation, this initiative to give shelter to Malaysia and Indonesia will save the lives of thousands of people at sea.
A meeting of the foreign ministers of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia held in Kuala Lumpur resolved the issue of providing shelter to migrants floating at sea on a temporary basis on humanitarian grounds. After the meeting, Malaysia's Foreign Minister Anifa Aman said, "The way her country and Indonesia's navies pushed floating boats from their territorial waters to other areas will not happen anymore."
He said, 'We need to help these people. In this situation, immigrants will be allowed to flock to us under conditions.'
After the meeting, Anifa Aman also told reporters, 'Sagarbhasa will shelter 7 thousand migrants in Indonesia and Malaysia. These migrants who have been given temporary shelter will be sent back to their respective countries within the next one year through the mediation of the international community.
Meanwhile, Indonesian fishermen rescued 450 floating migrants from the coast of Indonesia on Wednesday morning and took them to the lake. They have been sheltered in a village in East Aceh district.
It should be noted that most of these refugees who have been floating in the sea for a long time are Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar and poor people from Bangladesh.
Myanmar has agreed to help with the migrant crisis
In the current context, for the first time, the long-suffering Myanmar has offered assistance to solve the regional migrant crisis. The country has been denying responsibility for the crisis for a long time.
According to international media reports, on the eve of the tripartite talks in Kuala Lumpur yesterday on the 'migrant crisis' in Southeast Asia, Yangon changed its previous strict position and showed a flexible attitude.
It should be noted that the international community strongly condemned Myanmar's role in denying responsibility for the migrant crisis. Recent comments have also come from Pope Francis on the regional 'migrant crisis'. The international community, including the United Nations, the United States, expressed their concern and called for humanitarian assistance to the victims.
