Dream - Rohingya refugees continue to arrive in Aceh. Local residents initially welcomed them for humanitarian reasons, but lately, the residents have started to reject and even expel the Rohingya refugees in their area. Aceh residents feel that Rohingya immigrants often disturb the villagers.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Rohingya refugees come from Myanmar. Before coming to Indonesia, they were expelled and sought refuge in Bangladesh. However, the Rohingya people then chose to sail away from Bangladesh in search of a better life, one of their destinations being Indonesia. They have to pay tens of millions of rupiah to be able to leave Bangladesh, including when they go to Aceh."

Currently, he lives in a temporary shelter camp in Kulee Village, Pidie, Aceh Province, together with 232 other Rohingya refugees. "This is my first journey out of the Cox's Bazar refugee camp, Bangladesh," he said as quoted from ABC News.

Abdu said that there were 278 people on his ship at that time, but the number became 233 when they arrived in Aceh. "Some people moved to another ship while at sea. A woman died due to a lack of water. The journey was truly terrible. It was a seventeen-day journey at sea," he said.

He said that the food supply in the form of rice and water ran out within a week, and they even had to wait for rain to drink. Their boat reached the Andaman waters about five or six days later. "When we arrived there, there was a storm accompanied by heavy rain. We all almost died," he said.

When in the Cox's Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh, initially there were facilities and services for basic needs provided by UNHCR and other local organizations together with the government of Bangladesh. However, the situation in the camp has worsened, including the increase in criminality and human trafficking.

"The future looks bleak in the refugee camp. All of us, from different camps, had to flee here to Aceh, Indonesia," he said. Another Rohingya resident who was on the same boat as Abdu is Khairul Amin, 38 years old, who came with his wife, Minara Begum, 35 years old, and their three children, Asmaul Husna, Nurul Islam, and Nur Husen."

In 1992, Kahirul left his homeland in Duchi Radeng, Maungdaw, Myanmar, with his parents due to conflict. Since the age of seven, he has been living in the Cox's Bazar refugee camp, working as a trader and doing various odd jobs.

"The hope is that in Indonesia there is peace for refugees. I want to spend peaceful time with my family here. I want the children to have a better future and education," he said. To travel to Aceh, both Abdu and Khairul admitted to paying 100,000 taka, or more than Rp14 million per person, except for children under 10 years old."
