The Danger of Demonization on Social Media Threatens the Safety of Rohingya Refugees

28 Dec 2023  |  tirto.id  |  Indonesian  |  Refugee Crisis

On December 27, 2023, a distressing incident occurred at the Balee Meuseuraya Aceh (BMA) building in Aceh, where hundreds of Rohingya refugees, including children, women, and the elderly, were cornered and harassed by a group of protesters claiming to be students. The refugees were forcibly relocated to the Aceh Kemenkumham Office. The event is part of a series of rejections faced by the 137 Rohingya refugees. Azharul Husna of Kontras Aceh and Usman Hamid of Amnesty International Indonesia indicated that misinformation and hate campaigns on social media might have fueled the students' actions. Affan Ramli, a social scientist, criticized the students for not understanding Aceh's humanitarian culture. UNHCR spokesperson Mitra Salima Suryono expressed concern for the refugees' safety. The Aceh provincial government acknowledged its duty to shelter the refugees, while Mahfud MD, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, stated that the central government is seeking a safe place for the refugees.

A city in California collaborates with federal authorities in deporting immigrants

07 Feb 2025  |  www.zeriamerikes.com  |  Albanian  |  US Politics

Huntington Beach in California collaborates with federal immigration authorities, challenging the state's sanctuary policies. The city's mayor, Pat Burns, supports deporting undocumented immigrants who commit serious crimes, while local business owner Charlie Zablah agrees with the city's stance. Mai Do from the Harbour Institute argues that sanctuary cities are not less safe, citing studies showing reduced crime rates. The city's decision is largely symbolic, as local law enforcement is controlled by the Orange County Police Department. The Trump administration's executive order threatens to cut federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions, but its impact remains unclear.

Somaliland ties offer new headache for Raila's AUC bid

18 Mar 2024  |  eastleighvoice.co.ke  |  English  |  Politics

Faysal Ali Warabe, a presidential candidate in Somaliland, has endorsed Kenya’s former premier Raila Odinga for the African Union Commission chair. This endorsement comes as Nairobi mends relations with Mogadishu. Raila, who has long supported Somaliland's statehood, faces competition from Somalia's candidate, Fawzia Adam Yusuf. Raila's strong ties to Hargeisa and his advocacy for Somaliland's independence may influence Mogadishu's stance. Past tensions between Kenya and Somalia, particularly during Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency, are highlighted, with Raila's continued support for Somaliland's progress without Somalia. Raila's potential election to the AUC could bolster Somaliland's quest for statehood.

As COVID-19 emergency coverage ends, millions of children could lose their health insurance

22 Mar 2024  |  elreporterosf.com  |  English  |  Children's Welfare

With the impending end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, 40 million children enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP are at risk of losing their health insurance. The Biden administration extended the emergency coverage to October 15, but states must soon reassess eligibility. In California, up to 1.2 million children could be affected, disproportionately impacting children of color. Advocates emphasize the importance of continuous coverage, especially for early childhood development. California's Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated programs for child and youth mental health, and legislation for continuous Medi-Cal coverage for young children is being negotiated. Healthcare experts and advocates stress the need for community support to help families navigate the transition and update their contact information for renewals.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga opposes increasing the number of counties in Kenya, advocating instead for fair resource distribution to address marginalization. Speaking in Malaba Town during an ODM recruitment drive, Odinga emphasized that the initial formation of 47 counties aimed at equitable development. He dismissed the Teso Community's concerns about circumcision within the Bukusu community and criticized the push for additional counties, arguing that efficient resource distribution is the solution. The proposal to add eleven extra counties has sparked debate among lawmakers, with a joint memorandum planned for the National Dialogue Committee.
