Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
A Rohingya refugee's struggle in Thailand
Rohingya are Indo-Aryan Muslims from Myanmar,
who speak the Rohingya language. The total population is estimated to be around
two million and approximately 60% of them live in Myanmar. They have been
persecuted since 1982 and many of them have chosen to flee to neighboring
Bangladesh and Thailand where Buddhism is the major religion.
Recently a large number of Rohingya in Myanmar
have taken dangerous boat journey to find new lands and some of them lost their
lives in the seas. What makes their lives so insecure and miserable in the
country?
Read and learn how difficult it is to leave
a country and live in a different country.
