“…4 Fundamental rights such as healthcare, work, education and opportunity of development is mostly out of reach for stateless communities. 5,6 Forced migration brings along a plethora of di±culties for the migrants as well as the host country. The substandard living conditions of Rohingya migrants and lack of occupation has led to the decline of natural resources, creating large-scale environmental devastation and ruin of forestlands.…”

Manual¯eld-based population census data collection method is slow and expensive, especially for refugee management situations where more frequent censuses are necessary. This study aims to explore the approaches of population estimation of Rohingya migrants using remote sensing and machine learning. Two di®erent approaches of population estimation viz., (i) data-driven approach and (ii) satellite image-driven approach have been explored. A total of 11 machine learning models including Arti¯cial Neural Network (ANN) are applied for both approaches. It is found that, in situations where the surface population distribution is unknown, a smaller satellite image grid cell length is required. For data-driven approach, ANN model is placed fourth, Linear Regression model performed the worst and Gradient Boosting model performed the best. For satellite image-driven approach, ANN model performed the best while Ada Boost model has the worst performance. Gradient Boosting model can be considered as a suitable model to be applied for both the approaches.

Internal conflict between communities in Rohingya, Myanmar with fluctuations and conflicting tendencies. This condition is based on several reasons. There are two compelling reasons on which this conflict continues. The first reason is about the citizenship of Rohingya Muslims who are considered not a native of Myanmar. The second reason is about the tendency of religious differences adopted by Rohingya Muslims with the majority religion of Myanmar people. Conditions of conflict have implications for the increasing number of victims which resulted humanitarian crisis. The escalation of conflict that led to the humanitarian crisis occurred in August 2017. In this condition, the Myanmar government tried to close itself from international assistance and attention. Indonesia is the only country that can dialogue, open up humanitarian space and provide humanitarian assistance related to these conditions. The aim of this research is to analyze the role of interest groups in influencing the government in making policies on Indonesian humanitarian assistance to Rohingya ethnicities on the escalation of conflict in 2017. Foreign policy making in the context of humanitarian assistance will not be separated from the domestic political constellation of a country. This research sees that interest groups play a large role in influencing the government to make a policy related to humanitarian assistance to Rohingya ethnicity in the escalation of conflict in 2017. The influence given by interest groups will be seen in two roles. The role is the demands and alternative recommendations given by interest groups to the government as policy makers. Demands can be interpreted in the form of demonstrations and stances, while alternative recommendations are concrete recommendations submitted to the government to make policies in accordance with the interests brought. The method that will be used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis type.

“…There have been many studies about the condition of Rohingya people-who are considered "illegal Bengalis" (illegal Bengali migrants from Bangladesh) and excluded from the 135 ethnic groups recognised in Rakhine State and other parts of Myanmar (Charney 2009;Lay 2009;Steinberg 2010;Brinham 2012;Rogers 2012;Kipgen 2013;Zarni and Cowley 2014;Brooten 2015;Kingston 2015). Maung Zarni and Alice Cowley (2014), for example, assert that the Myanmar state has played a significant role in a "slow-burning" genocide that has been happening over the past thirty-five years.…”

“…Maung Zarni and Alice Cowley (2014), for example, assert that the Myanmar state has played a significant role in a "slow-burning" genocide that has been happening over the past thirty-five years. They also emphasise that the civilians active in persecuting the Rohingya people have been backed by the state, and Lindsey Kingston (2015) questions the commitment of the international community to helping the Rohingya. Lisa Brooten (2015) describes how reports of violence against the Rohingya people, broadcast through mainstream global media outlets such as Reuters, reflect colonial and neocolonial narratives that frame the Rohingya as victims who need an external saviour.…”

The condition of Rohingya Muslims, who for decades have faced a humanitarian crisis, especially in their homeland of Rakhine State, Myanmar, has attracted international attention and sympathy. This article focuses on Rohingya Muslims living in a transit country, Malaysia. Drawing on ethnographic feldwork conducted in Malaysia between 2015 and 2017, this article examines the efforts of Rohingya Muslims to reestablish familial bonds with relatives with whom they had lost touch as a result of a series of crises. The article analyses the role of polymedia in the life of Rohingya Muslims, particularly the impact of polymedia among youth and activists who centre their efforts on Rohingya Muslims. The article expands on the available work regarding the use of communication technologies in times of crisis by focusing on the ways in which young Rohingya Muslims use communication technologies to amplify their voices and establish a connected presence in their distributed and disrupted family lives. By claiming their place in a polymedia-rich environment, young Rohingya Muslims have found a “virtual heaven”—albeit an imperfect one—by embracing the freedom to use their voices through a wide variety of communication technologies. Living in their country of asylum, Malaysia, they can play a signifcant role as bridging agents who both raise awareness of the plight of Rohingya in Myanmar and work together with those living in resettlement countries to solve the complex problems arising from persecution, displacement, and statelessness.
