The plight of the Rohingya
The Rohingya, a mostly stateless people, have sailed in their thousands in recent weeks across the Bay of Bengal to the west coast of Thailand, from where human-smugglers deliver them to neighbouring Malaysia.
The exodus has been largely pinned by Thai authorities on the Myanmar government, arguing that Rohingya are fleeing persecution and violence. Thousands more have escaped across Myanmar’s borders to neighbouring countries.
