As US withdraws aid from Bangladesh, humanitarian crisis worsens

When US President Donald Trump and his administration decided to dismantle the United States' foreign aid program, they left NGOs across the world unable to continue their work. Our Observer is part of the persecuted Rohingya minority and spoke to us from the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. More than a million people living there depend on humanitarian aid, most of which had been funded by the United States.

The United States freeze on foreign humanitarian aid has had serious consequences for the Rohingya, the persecuted Muslim minority originally from Myanmar, though they are denied citizenship there. The United Nations has said that the Myanmar army’s persecution of the Rohingya in 2016 and 2017 amounted to “ethnic cleansing”. More than 800,000 Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh in what is considered to be one of the world’s most serious ongoing humanitarian crises.

The vast majority of the Rohingya people now live in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, a town in Bangladesh on the border with Myanmar. More than a million Rohingya live there. Some families have been in these camps for generations after fleeing Myanmar during other waves of violence back in the 1990s.  

The 33 refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar form a sort of city, which has everything from training centres to hospitals. And yet this is a "city" whose refugee inhabitants are not allowed to leave or work and who depend entirely on humanitarian aid provided by many NGOs, many of which had been supported by the United States.

In 2024, the United States funded 55 percent of the humanitarian aid provided to the Rohingya. Some of that involves direct contributions to the United Nations. However, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) also funds many smaller NGOs in Cox’s Bazar. Less than a month after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to abruptly freeze 92 percent of USAID’s money for foreign humanitarian aid, this decision has already had serious consequences on the refugees in Cox’s Bazar. 

Several medical centres have closed, while others are facing acute staff shortages. Some, like the International Red Cross Hospital, are reduced to providing emergency care only.

The United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) provides the bulk of essential food aid to the Rohingya. However, in early March, the WFP announced that because it had lost US funding, they would have to cut the food rations provided to the Rohingya by more than half, going from $12.50 to $6, as from April. Some other actors provide occasional and limited food supplies, especially during the holidays of Ramadan and Eid, but this aid is minimal compared to the WFP’s contribution.

The WFP’s announcement sparked immediate anxiety in Cox’s Bazar. The WFP made a first reduction to rations back in 2023, when they faced another funding shortage, and this led to a sharp increase in the rates of malnutrition among children in the camps.

'The world has a responsibility to feed those in need'

Our Observer Sahat Zia Hero has been living in Cox’s Bazar since 2017. Hero, who is passionate about photography, founded a magazine called Rohingatographer to showcase the photographic work of refugees.

We have no way to meet our needs ourselves. We are not allowed to work or to leave the camps to fish, for example.

 [American aid] provides vital services like food rations. Without this, Rohingya refugees would not survive. We are really frightened.

Some refugees haven’t been able to obtain vital medical care because the hospitals lack doctors, there are not enough midwives to attend all the births. I am very afraid for my community. 

On X, Zia Hero wrote a letter to Donald Trump to talk about the situation of the Rohingya.

I want to call on all world leaders to continue to support all of the Rohingya refugees – to not forget us.

We are aware that the world is being confronted with many other crises. But cutting off displaced people’s access to food is a crime.

The world has a responsibility to feed those in need, those who are isolated because of wars that they did not start.

Is it true the war in Rohingja state was not started by the Rohingja?  Rohingjas are Muslim people and Muslims, when in a majority, do not subject themselves to Buddhists or any other faith. Was Myanmar saving the country from losing a large state to Islam when it committed genocide? Is this what Europe is headed toward?

Should Islam be held somewhat, if not entirely, accountable for the Rohingja's plight? Should Islam be paying for all of the refugees in Cox's Bazaar? Should Christendom be paying for them? 

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres traveled to Cox’s Bazar on March 14 to sound the alarm about the increasingly desperate situation faced by Rohingya refugees. He said that budget cuts to international aid for Rohingya refugees were “unacceptable”. The same day, news wire service Reuters revealed that a US official overseeing the dismantling of the main US foreign aid agency wants to end all US aid to the Rohingya, saying that “nothing is owed”.

India: Muslim mob lynches youth for burning a copy of the Qur’an

No one in the mob paused to wonder why anyone would be so upset with this book as to burn a copy. Self-reflection is not exactly a strong suit among certain communities.

Manipur: Meitei Muslim youth lynched by Muslim mob after he burnt a copy of Quran and shared the video on social media

OpIndia, April 5, 2025:

In Manipur, a Muslim youth from the Meitei Pangal community was lynched by a Muslim mob for allegedly burning a copy of the Quran. The incident took place in Yairipok of Thoubal district on Friday night after the victim shared a video on social media showing him desecrating the holy Quran.

The deceased has been identified as Md Imran, son of Late Azaruddin from Yairipok Kekru Loubuk Leikai. He had uploaded a video in which he was seen holding a copy of Quran in his hand and making provocative comments on the Islamic scripture. After that, he was seen setting the book on fire.

This, of course, would qualify for a Darwin award!

While burning the book, Imran said that the Quran contained the story of the creation of the world by the Almighty Creator, and added that time for the Quran has come to an end. He then said that the Creator had commanded it to be burnt and then proceeded to set the holy book on fire.

Curiously, I believe the end of Islam is only a few years away when Jesus, the Real Creator of the world, returns to bring judgment upon false religions and false Christians - The Great Tribulation 

The video went viral quickly, causing outrage among the Muslims in the area. A large group of Muslims tracked him down and attacked him. The incident took place at around 6:20 PM.

The youth died in the mob attack. At around 9 PM on Friday, the police recovered the body near a river bank at Yairipok Bamon Leikai Mathak after getting information about the incident. Reportedly, his body was found without any clothes….

Islamic hyesteria! Muslims must protect the Quran because Allah appears incapable of doing so.

Once tolerant of Christianity, Indonesia, like most Islamic countries, is growing less tolerant by the day. Sin is progressive!

Indonesia: Officials refuse to allow construction of church though congregation met all requirements for permit

Apr 7, 2025 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This likely has to do with the fact that Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches. Christians are “forbidden to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays, and are forbidden to build new churches” – Reliance of the Traveller o.11.5 (6,7)

In the Islamic scheme of things, the Islamic community must always grow, and the non-Muslim community always diminish.

Authorities in Indonesia Refuse to Back Church Construction

Morning Star News, March 31, 2025:

SURABAYA, Indonesia (Morning Star News) – Local officials in East Borneo Province, Indonesia refused to approve construction of a church building even though the congregation had met all requirements for a permit, sources said.

In Samarinda, capital of East Borneo Province, the Samarinda Ministry of Religious Affairs Office refused to provide a letter of recommendation for Toraja Christian Church in Sungai Keledang, Samarinda Seberang Sub-District, even though the church completed all administrative requirements for a license permit, according to the Indonesian Movement for All (Pergerakan Indonesia untuk Semua, PIS). The church has sought the permit for 10 years.

“Oh my God…How can people worship when we make it difficult?” PIS stated on its website. “What other reason does the Ministry of Religious Affairs office have for refusing to provide a letter of recommendation? Sounds cowardly, isn’t it? This injustice should not be tolerated.”

The congregation has spent 10 years on the application, obtaining names and ID cards of 90 people approved by local officials, approval of 60 local people and village heads and last September winning recommendations of the local Interfaith Forum, according to PIS.

Hendra Kusuma, chairman of the East Kalimantan Alliance for Advocacy for Freedom of Religion and Belief, accused the government of fearing Muslim groups that are religiously intolerant rather than enforcing rules, PIS stated.

“They are more afraid of a handful of people who reject the church’s existence, even though the state guarantees freedom of religion and worship,” Hendra told kaltimtoday.com….

Not even Islam wants Rohingyans; Greta adopts Islamic Logic - 22 Arab countries are not enough, One Jewish country is too many

Rohingya are Muslim people. They were driven out of Myanmar, a deeply Buddhist country, and they are being fleeced by Muslim criminals in the deeply Muslim country of Bangladesh. Many have made their way to Indonesia in the hope of a better life, but the locals in Aceh don't want them there. Perhaps they are afraid they will bring the criminal element with them. In any event, nobody seems to want Muslim refugees, not even Muslim countries (Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, population-wise). Nobody except Canada, where Trudeau seems to think we need more Jew-haters from Gaza.

‘We don’t want them here’: Rohingya refugees

face uncertain future in Indonesia

Hundreds of angry locals gathered to protest outside a camp for Rohingya refugees on the Indonesian island of Sabang on Monday, December 18, in the latest sign of growing hostility towards the persecuted Myanmar minority. Indonesia has seen a surge in Rohingya arriving in recent weeks as a growing number seek to escape deteriorating conditions in crowded refugee camps in Bangladesh, but they face an uncertain future in the country, with Jakarta so far offering them only temporary shelter.

Greta Thunberg slams COP28 climate deal

and Israel, waves Palestinian flag

by Maayan Jaffe-Hoffman, Jerusalem Post, December 17, 2023:

“The final outcome of #COP28 is not a ‘historic win,'” Thunberg tweeted. “It is yet another example of extremely vague and watered-down texts full of loopholes” that won’t solve the problem.

The climate problem is not to be “solved.” It is, rather, a situation that can be ameliorated. That is a different thing. It’s like the jihad being conducted by the Palestinians against Israel. That jihad cannot be “solved” as long as Islam exists, but nonetheless, a modus vivendi can be achieved with the Arabs if Israel remains overwhelmingly, and obviously, more powerful militarily than its enemies. That’s called deterrence, and it worked well during the Cold War.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg once again fused the Palestinian cause with the climate change movement as she participated in her weekly “Fridays for Future” protest outside parliament in Stockholm on December 15.

 What do climate hysterics have in common with antisemitism? Godlessness!

During the demonstration, she prominently displayed a Palestinian flag and held a “Free Palestine” sign – a photo of which she uploaded to her personal X account while bashing the Conference of the Parties (COP28) climate deal. She also proclaimed that the world will be “transitioning away from fossil fuels” to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

It’s mix-n’-match in Greta Thunberg’s overheated brain. She’s holding up the latest in vexillogical fashion — the flag of a future Palestinian state that, its supporters around the world fondly believe, will replace the Jewish state “from the river to the sea” with a twenty-third Arab one. At the same time, she continues to deplore the failure, as she sees it, of the meeting in Dubai of COP28.

Greta seems to have adopted Islamic logic which states that 22 Arab states is not enough, and one Jewish state is too much! 

Dr. Sultan al-Jaber was the president of COP28. He is the UAE’s environment minister, and he is also the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). Many were up in arms that someone so connected to the oil industry should have been the head of the conference, especially when they discovered that before the conference began he had said in an online event on Nov. 21 that “there is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5 [a rise in global temperature of 1.5 degrees].” Furthermore, he added, “it would be impossible to stop burning fossil fuels and sustain economic development, “unless you want to take the world back into caves.”

The Arab oil states were the spoilers at COP28. Just before COP28 began, the Arab oil states had held their own meeting in Doha, Qatar, where they passed a resolution essentially saying that “oil is here to stay.” And when they went to Dubai, they were determined to keep any language calling for an end to fossil fuels out of the final document. It was a battle royal, and in the end the Arabs decided to yield, just a little, so great was the clamor against them, by allowing “fossil fuels” to be mentioned, but making sure that the language about reducing their use was both vague and weak. In the Global Stocktake COP28, the parties agreed to “transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050.” There’s plenty of room to maneuver in that call for a “transition…in a just, orderly, and equitable manner.” No binding commitments were made by individual countries to lower their carbon emissions by a set amount.

What Saudi Arabia think is a “just orderly, and equitable manner” of transition away from fossil fuels will be very different from what the U.K., or France, or India might think. The Saudis, Emiratis, and Kuwaitis will do everything they can to throw a spanner in the works, so determined are they to sell every last barrel of oil they have in the ground. No one wants to be left holding billions of barrels in a world that has completely “transitioned” to solar, wind, hydropower, and nuclear energy.

This is Islam > Rohingya refugees victims of Muslim gangs - fleeing to Aceh

Holding his son's hand in a temporary shelter in Indonesia, Mohamed Ridoi says he made the dangerous 12-day sea journey from massive refugee camps in Bangladesh to escape pervasive threats of kidnapping, extortion and murder there. The 27-year-old says he wants to "live safely and peacefully" in a temporary shelter in Indonesia's western Aceh Province, where more than 1,000 Rohingya people have arrived this month, the largest such influx since 2015.

Thousands left homeless as fire ravages refugee camp 

Within two hours the flames destroyed 1,200 shelters in one of the world’s biggest settlements

A massive fire has devastated a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh, leaving thousands of people homeless, police have said.

“About 1,200 houses were burnt in the fire,” a spokesman for the Armed Police Battalion, Kamran Hossain, told AFP on Sunday.

The fire started at 4.40pm local time and was brought under control at around 6.30pm, the law enforcement officer said – but the two hours was enough to leave more than 5,000 people homeless as most of the shelters were made of bamboo and tarpaulin, highly flammable materials.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Bangladesh said that, after receiving news of a “sudden fire” at Camp 16 in the Cox's Bazar border district, it “immediately deployed teams,” including medics, to protect the refugees. The cause of the fire is yet to be established.

It is not the first time that fires have ripped through camps housing the minority Muslim ethnic group, many of whom escaped neighboring Myanmar to avoid persecution in the wake of the 2017 military crackdown, which left some 10,000 Rohingya dead, according to Doctors Without Borders.

Rohingya are predominantly Muslim and the rest of Myanmar (Burma) is almost entirely Buddhist. Buddhists see the Muslims as a threat to their religion and their country - hence, the hostility. As Islam spreads across Africa and Europe, this dynamic will come more and more into play.

In March last year, another fire claimed the lives of 15 refugees and left 50,000 homeless in Bangladesh border camps which house around 850,000 people and are considered to be one of the largest refugee settlements in the world.

Death Toll Surpass 200 in Attacks in Nigeria's North

ABUJA — 

Nigerian authorities on Sunday said the death toll from attacks by armed groups in northwest Zamfara State this past week has risen to more than 200. The attacks which began Tuesday lasted until Thursday across nine villages. Authorities say many more villagers remain unaccounted for.

Zamfara state residents say the attacks were retaliation for last week’s military raid against the bandits.

Military airstrikes last Monday around the armed men’s hideout in the Gusami forest hideout as well as in Tamre village in Zamfara reportedly killed more than 100 bandits, including two of their leaders.

Large numbers of angry motorcycle-riding bandits hit back at local communities in reprisal for days, shooting people on sight and burning down houses.

State authorities initially said 58 people were killed but authorities on Saturday said more than 200 bodies were buried and scores of other people were missing.

Last week's attacks are among the deadliest seen in the region in years. Authorities say up to 10,000 people were displaced and too afraid to return to their homes.

On Saturday, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said in a statement, “The latest attacks on innocent people by the bandits is an act of desperation by mass murderers, now under relentless pressure from our military forces.”

Security analyst Kabiru Adamu said security forces have been making progress and gives a reason.

"One of the key bandits by the name Bello Turji, wrote a letter last month where he indicated his willingness to [as it were] end what he's doing. The letter was very clear," said Adamu.

Zamfara state police spokesperson Shehu Mohammed said authorities were gathering intelligence on the attacks from the villages and victims and would aid future operations.

"The information we got will surely assist the security agencies in trying to record more successes in subsequent operations," he said.

Northwest and north-central Nigeria are recording spikes in attacks on communities, looting and mass kidnappings for ransom that began in late 2020.

The government has repeatedly promised to address the issue.

Pakistani Christian man granted bail in blasphemy case

The brother of a Pakistani Christian man granted bail last week after spending years in prison is pleading with Pope Francis and other international leaders to evacuate and grant his brother asylum in a Western country as concerns about his health and safety persist.

Nadeem Samson, a Pakistani Christian imprisoned for blasphemy | Shakeel Anjum

On Thursday, the Supreme Court of Pakistan granted bail for Nadeem Samson, a Catholic who has been imprisoned in Pakistan for four years on blasphemy charges. Samson’s brother, Shakeel Anjum, a United States citizen, reacted to the development in an interview with The Christian Post.

“[On the] one side, we are happy. But [on the] other side, we are very afraid,” he said, speaking on behalf of himself and another brother, who also lives in Pakistan.

Anjum cited the Jan. 3 death sentence of Zafar Bhatti, another Christian imprisoned under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, as a cause for concern.  

While the Supreme Court of Pakistan granted Samson bail, the legal proceedings stemming from the blasphemy charges against him will continue at the district court level.

Anjum told CP that “trials are very dangerous” because “he has to … go to the court back and forth to attend the hearings.” He recalled a 2020 incident where a Muslim accused of blasphemy was “murdered right in the court,” fearing that his brother could end up facing the same fate.

“He was murdered right in the court,” Anjum said. “He was on bail and he got shot dead and somebody just killed him in the court.”

More recently, on Dec. 3, a Twitter account managed by Anjum devoted to securing his brother’s release retweeted a video of a Sri Lankan Hindu Factory manager who was “burned alive by #Muslims mob” for accused blasphemy. Anjum said these two incidents have left him and his brothers “really scared” and “really worried.”

In light of the concerns and the fact that “mob attacking is common in Pakistan,” Anjum delivered an appeal to the Pope and Josep Borrell, the European Union's high representative for foreign affairs.

Mass hysteria is very common in Pakistan. Self-control is very uncommon!

If there was any doubt that Islam turns a country back to the Middle Ages, this story ought to remove such doubt.

Afghan public sector workers get paid in wheat

Cash-strapped Taliban extends ‘food for work’ program as hunger grips Afghanistan

The Taliban administration has announced it is expanding its ‘food for work’ scheme under which it pays thousands of public sector employees with wheat instead of cash.

Roughly 40,000 workers in Kabul have been receiving 10 kilograms of wheat per day for working five hours. Agriculture officials have said that the program will now be extended across the country.

“We are ready to help our people as much as we can,” said Fazel Bari Fazli, deputy minister of administration and finance at the Ministry of Agriculture, Reuters reports.

The Taliban has been largely using the wheat that was donated by India to the previous US-backed Afghan government. The new government also received 18 tonnes of wheat from Pakistan last year and is expecting to receive more. Negotiations are also underway with India over a delivery of 55 tonnes, said Fazli.

The United Arab Emirates and Iran are among the other nations that have provided Afghanistan with food and medical supplies. The UN estimates that more than half the population needs humanitarian aid, with nearly a quarter already on the brink of starvation, according to a recent World Food Program report. 

Afghanistan’s economic and humanitarian crisis has deepened since the Taliban took power in August, after the withdrawal of the US troops from the country. Since then, sanctions have been placed on members of the Taliban, the Afghan central bank’s assets have been frozen, and most of the foreign aid that supported the economy has been suspended.

The UN asked international donors on Tuesday to provide $4.4 billion in humanitarian aid to the country this year, citing “unprecedented levels of need amongst ordinary women, men and children of Afghanistan.” The aid is meant to bypass the government in Kabul and to be mostly distributed by international organizations.
