Human Beings

: Shame on the world, which is turning a blind eye to the plight of the Rohingya, who, as you read this, are dying at sea in the hundreds if not thousands, according to Toronto Star. They are hated by their home country of Myanmar solely because they are Muslim and generally darker skinned than the Buddhist majority. When we do horrible things to our fellow human beings, it is a crime. Persecuted beyond description in their homeland for years, in their desperation to seek life, they pay whatever they can to board boats captained by human traffickers who take their money and abandon them at sea to drift into oblivion. To make matters even more reprehensible, no country wants the boats to be towed to its shore. Who knows how many have already perished at sea How can aid be mounted to help these voiceless, weak, impoverished, desperate people when they are drifting in a boat in international waters Aid groups do not have boats they can use to find them and tow them into shore.
