timmyp Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I wonder where they will be sent. Their situation is about as desperate and impossible to solve as a situation can be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterStretch Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 UNHCR isn't going to do crap. The Rohingyas are being expelled from Burma as they are considered an "invasionary" culture, regardless of how long the natives have lived there. Thailand should just allow them to move on to where they want...which is Malaysia and a country that supports and allows their religion. How difficult is this? Only stupid idiots would stop that...let them go to Malaysia. It's a country of idiots. They could always use a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
