Activists, Leaders and Politicians have different principles.

-
I honestly don't know how to write what I feel right now. Even these words are going to be scattered, they might not make sense for many. But I feel compelled to share what I have to share. I feel tired, hurt, frustration and honestly depressed.

**********
Some unscrupulous people always think that i meet with foreigners and new people everyday and get funding.
Please understand this does not happen! They never give any financial assistance, fund or any budget to me unless if i have worked with them as an interpreter or other jobs.
Starting my activism from refugee life in Bangladesh (13 years old), I am always happy to form friendship and connecting with people around the world.
As a rohingya rights activist, i always think i have the right to meet people, know them in person and even contribute to them. This is the principle of my ACTIVISM.
What I think is, we need to work and contribute with everyone even though there is risk being an activist when i am a refugee myself, living at the mercy of the host nation. Therefore, it is challenging for REFUGEE ACTIVISTS.
**********

Activists, Leaders and Politicians have different principles: Being a refugee activist, it's about educating others and correcting public misconception, or to draw public attention to something they didn't notice but need to be aware of. It really depends on times and many things the activist can do.
I am a refugee and not funded to do any form of activism. You need to understand also, i am not mixed up with a group of people or claiming everything. What i am doing is voluntary, not a job or a project for charity. It's not a popularity contest nor photo popularity but many think that.

We should not forget. There are big differences between Activists, Leaders and Politicians those who are working for refugees or Rohingya!


Now I hope for change and time to speak up!
Anyway, may Allah help us to always think positive and to be on the exact path in every single day during five prayers in a day. Ameen!

Gratitude – and advice – to Malaysia from a Rohingya refugee

Published by ASIA TIMES  I am a Rohingya refugee in Malaysia. In October 2014, human traffickers kidnapped me from outside the Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. They covered my face and tied my hands and beat me before putting me on a boat from which I was sold to other traffickers in Thailand. I was held captive in a trafficking camp for 13 days in southern Thailand. I was not given food for five days. I obtained freedom when Thai police rescued 134 Rohingya people in Ranong province. I was kept by the police in an immigration detention center (IDC). After I was declared a victim of human trafficking, I was sent to an IDC shelter in Songkhla, Thailand. I escaped from that facility because there was a Rohingya boy who was beaten by shelter officers. After a month, however, I was arrested again and sold again to traffickers. I was kept in a human-trafficking camp in Penang, Malaysia, until I managed to run away. Finally, in Malaysia, the United N

Few of the answer I have written here in English: JE- Your life has been a very difficult one, refugee in three countries, your father abandoned your family when you were a child, your family was persecuted by the Bangladeshi authorities for their activism, they went through hunger strikes and an attempted forced repatriation among other situations, how within all these difficulties did you manage to be a high average student and stand out among the other children and young Rohingyas in Bangladesh? Ans: Despite all the suffering and difficulties, I believe human rights is for human. I have to speak up for my rights and to educate people about rohingya refugee crisis. Refugee should be powerful and inspiration to others. In ASEAN countries, they haven’t signed according to UN refugee convention 1951. "Activism is an weapon against fear and disappear," That forced me to speak up, why they are ignoring refugee rights, why they are wasting our lives. They need to underst
