Rohingya Crisis in Myanmar | May Fan | TEDxBrighouse


some suffering is too difficult to
understand but we have to try anyway
let’s try it now
imagine you are a 12 year old girl
coming home expecting to be greeted by
your family as you come through the door
but instead you see your mother father
and little sister on the kitchen floor
bleeding to death right in front of you
there is nowhere to run no one to turn
to and all around you there is only
screaming and chaos as you are left
crying scared and confused you’re too
young to understand this the you and
your family are a minority in a country
that hates you that hunts you and will
never stop good afternoon ladies and
gentlemen today I’m here to talk to you
about the Roe hinga people a Muslim
minority in me at work
first I want to give some background
information on the subject and then I
will provide some possible solutions to
the problem so who are the ROE hanga the
role Inga is a Muslim minority of
roughly 1 million people they are not
recognized as one of the ethnic groups
in Myanmar and are considered as illegal
immigrants from Bangladesh however
Bangladesh does not see them as their
people causing them to be homeless and
to be treated like foreigners no matter
where they seek shelter
though many Ruina have lived their
entire lives in Miami and countries
family roots back centuries they’re
still seen as intruders from across the
border the president of Myanmar absent
Suki not only refuses to give them
citizenship forcing them to be stateless
but they also aren’t allowed to go to
school or to make any money and the land
they live on can be taken away at any
given time they live in refugee camps on
the border of Myanmar and Bangladesh
without a home
or any hope the camp’s they live in are
in terrible conditions without food or
water and no other countries able or
willing to take them in which means that
most of our pinga are starving to death
on the inside
since throw kanga our Muslim and the
rest of the country is Buddhist the
population of Miami harbors a deep
hatred for the RO hanga and they show
that hatred through raids every couple
of days that leave people slaughtered by
the hundreds in row hang in refugee
camps violence disease trafficking and
murder runs rampant when a row Hinkel
goes out in the night to the washroom
the odds are that they will be raped or
240,000 of the row hanga are just
children these people are desperate with
no one to turn to no one to listen and
yet their Christ or neither a priority
nor focus for the rest of the world no
one should have to live this way so how
do we fix this I will propose four
solutions under the acronym home h4 Hope
over organized and for mobilize and Eve
for engage the first solution I propose
is h4 hope this might seem simple but is
nonetheless incredibly profound in its
impact the roof Inga believe that they
are forgotten
video broadcast from camps show a group
of people who think that the world does
not see them or hear the cries for help
the moment that we raise awareness for
this problem that we tell people through
social media and through word of mouth
that the world Inga exist they matter
and they need our help we send a
powerful message that the world hanga
are not forgotten because we are here
and we won’t let their sufferings go on
help
the second solution I propose is Oh for
organized volunteers and doctors that go
to Myanmar to lend a hand are not
communicating with each other to make
sure that everything is carried out in
an organized manner the UN needs to
begin to coordinate efforts and have
volunteers from different organizations
and NGOs working together to help fix
problems faster this leads to my third
solution which is M for mobilized we
have to mobilize our governments to care
about the issue by sending letters to
elected representatives by pressuring
politicians at rallies and during
election time to care we can tell them
that we need them to step up to the
plate and help out they will be forced
to join global accords with a Bangladesh
and Myanmar government to band together
to create relief funds and better camp
conditions to mobilize a military force
to protect ordinary people from the
dangers of being wrong our Ganga in me
Amma
yammer must know that their treatment of
the RO hanga is not acceptable and that
the rest of the world will not stand for
it finally eve or engage we can’t just
wait for government to extend we need to
engage with Linga ourselves and we can
by sending money and resources through
care packages to the RO hinga we can
ensure that they have some relief the
horrors of food and supply shortage by
donating money to international
organizations like the World Health
Organization’s
Doctors Without Borders Amnesty
International and local NGOs in the area
we can help improve the sufferings of
millions of men women and children who
need our help today I talked about the
terrifying crisis that the people in
Rohan good have to face every single day
the Rohingya people cannot and will not
stand alone we must do everything we can
so that
years from now we won’t look back and
mourn the deaths millions of people who
needed our help to survive thank you [Applause]
