Reuters--8000 Rohingya in 2 months flee into Bangladesh.

I cld read this--not behind pay wall--at least for me.

This is a new mass outflow--

I don't know who keeps the stats since 2017--

and not all arrive in Bangladesh--many drown--fetch up temporarily in Thailand--pushed back to sea--

some, must be minority, arrive in Malaysia--

Read this tog. with Paul Greening's Know your Enemy--above.

It's safe to assume everyone is your enemy--and the junta is the biggest and most dangerous.

Now they are conscripting trishaw drivers/peddlers--

Trishaws are converted bicycles with 2 passenger seats on the side.
