A BOAT has sailed from the south of Java bound for Australia carrying an estimated 25 Rohingya and Afghan asylum seekers, believed to be the first time in several years that such a vessel has left Indonesia.
An Indonesian intelligence source told News Corp the small boat left late last week from Cidaun, which up until 2013 was the most notorious departure point for asylum seekers in the Indonesian archipelago.
Border Force Australia said it was unaware of the boat and has no current on-water operations.
Politicians have blamed New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern’s offer to resettle 150 refugees from Manus Island and Nauru on a new “pull” for refugees, however others warn the Rohingya crisis will see thousands attempting to get to Australia regardless.
Some 600,000 Muslim Rohingya are currently in crisis in Bangladesh after fleeing Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state, where they faced brutal repression from the military.
That’s fake news. These Muslim invaders waged jihad against the Buddhists of Burma and were beaten back. They should suffer the consequences.
The potential influx risks causing new problems for Australia and Indonesia. At the highest political levels in Jakarta there is deep sympathy for the plight of the Rohingya, whom Indonesian supports as oppressed Muslims within their region.
That’s their problem, not ours.
On Sunday, Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo visited Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazaar, sending a message of solidarity.
He should take them. He has a religious obligation to help his Muslim brothers & sisters in distress. We don’t. KEEP THEM OUT!
