U Kwaw Swe

U Kwaw Swe: Tens of thousands of displaced Rohingya people live in the plastic-roofed tents and huts made of reeds, and they distrust nearly any order from a government that barely acknowledges they exist, according to 660 News. Now we re afraid. We decided to move early this morning, said U Kwaw Swe, a 62-year-old father of seven who was hoping the government would transport his family. Otherwise they intended to walk to safety and SITTWE, Myanmar A cyclone only a day away carries wind and rain that could become deadly. But in dozens of refugee camps that spatter Myanmars western coast, the order to evacuate ahead of the storm was met with widespread refusal. Even as rain and wind from the edges of Cyclone Mahasen began to pelt the coast near the city of Sittwe on Thursday morning, most people camped there appeared to be staying put. Some, however, were taking down their tents and hauling their belongings away in cycle-rickshaws, or carrying them in bags balanced on their heads. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
