The Rohingya Hi everyone! First of all, before I start my first ever blog. I want to greate all of you a Very Pleasant Day! Cheer up! And throw away all the negative vibes and give me a beautiful smile!! I hope you don’t just click my blog because of its title but because you want to know the story behind it. So why do I say that life is unfair? Why? Is it because my crush love someone else? Or is it because I don’t have the latest iPhone 11 Pro? What do you think my answer? Probably your answer is wrong because my answer is none of all the above. I’ve watched so many documentaries lately. I don’t know but I’m a kind of a person who loves to know what is the life of this kind of person, what they do in their life, where they live, what they are doing every day? And such. But there was a documentary caught my mind, not just my mind but my whole human body. It is entitled “Silang Kinalimutan”. It was a documentary about the Rohingya Refugee Crisis by Atom Araullo of I-Witness. The video shows how the Rohingya refugees traveled from Myanmar where the country they were born, to Bangladesh were their families will be safe. We can all imagine in our minds that it is just a typical immigrant who is just immigrating to other country, but it’s not. Those people have suffered many years to their own country. They’d faced decades of systematic discrimination, statelessness and targeted violence in Myanmar where they called their state. Some women were forced raped, all houses in their villages were burned to the ground, families were separated and killed. That is the story told by the people who experienced the violence. They’d walked a thousand miles to get rid from that war because of the fleeing population that they government said. You know why life is so unfair? Looking at those people only in the screen of my cellphone, breaks my heart. Crying and pleading to the leader of their country to make them stay to their houses makes my tears fall down. We all know that all people have the human right, who gives us all freedom that we need. Isn’t so unfair that they are humans but they don’t have the right to live? They don’t have the right to life, freedom and personal security in were they called their “HOME”. Their HOME where they experienced and felt violated. I only realized after watching this documentary that I am so blessed as a human, because I can do what I want. I have the freedom like a bird who can fly were I want. Even if my crush doesn’t love me. Even if I don’t have the latest iPhone. But most importantly I have the right to live peacefully.
