Australia Offers to Pay Rohingya Refugees to Return to Myanmar.

Australia offers to pay Rohingya Refugees to Return to Myanmar.


This article is about how Australia is offering to pay Rohingya refugees to return to Myanmar. Rohingya refugees are a Muslim minority group in Myanmar, and according to the article, Myanmar has been accused of “ethnic cleansing against the Muslim minority.” The article continues to talk about how the Australian government is offering to pay the Rohingya refugees up to $25,000 if they agree to go home, even though going home could put their lives in danger. I think that finding alternatives to help the refugees would be far better than bribery. Hearing that Australia is trying to bribe the Rohingya refugees to return to their homes, where they could be killed is honestly just sickening.
