MYANMAR'S AMBASSADOR READY TO FACILITATE INDONESIAN VOLUNTEERS

Myanmar's Ambassador to Indonesia U Nyan Lynn said he is ready to facilitate Indonesian leaders and volunteers who wants to visit Rohingya muslim in Myanmar. 
       The statement was conveyed in dialogue with Muslims leaders as well as Indonesian NGOs in Jakarta, Thursday (23/5), initiated by Komite Advokasi Muslim Rohingya (Kamra).
       "If there are Indonesian volunteers who want to visit Rohingya, we are ready to facilitate them to meet with religious leaders there. We welcome Indonesian who would like to help our residents, " said general secretary of Kamra, Bernard Abdul Jabbar quoted Ambassador of Myanmar to Indonesia.
       Previously, Ambassador of Myanmar welcomed the Indonesian for-Rohingya Muslim NGO in dialogue on issues Arakan-Rohingya Muslims. "Previously the Myanmar ambassador received only four of us, but we ask for a minimum of ten people," said Bernard.
       The meeting was a continuation of previous negotiations held on last Friday (3/5). Delegation was received by the representative Ambassador of Myanmar Embassy to Indonesia in Jakarta.
       In the occasion, Bernard asked for open dialogue with the Myanmar government on the issue of the oppressed Arakan-Rohingya Muslims.
       Indonesian Muslims demanded Myanmar's government to immediately halt all forms of oppression and restore the citizenship of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
       Rohingya is a Muslim ethnic minority who inhabit the north Arakan bordering with Bangladesh, the region formerly known as Rohang and now better known as the Rakhine. That is why the Muslims who inhabited the Rohang region called Rohingya.
       Rohingya become the only oppressed ethnic in Myanmar since the country's independence in 1948.
       Systematic extermination run by Myanmar’s government to remove the Muslim Rohingya ethnic involving Buddhist extremists are strictly forbidden and violates human rights.
