Over 300 Rohingya refugees have arrived on the coast of Aceh province in Indonesia after weeks of drifting across the sea from Bangladesh.
The emaciated survivors – children, women and men – told of running out of supplies and of fearing death at sea as they landed on the unwelcoming shores of the villages of Pidie and Aceh Besar in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday morning.
“The boat was sinking. We had no food or water left,” told Shahidul Islam, a 34-year-old survivor, saying he had left from a refugee camp in Bangladesh.
A group of 180 refugees arrived by boat at 3am local time (20:00 GMT on Saturday) on a beach in the Pidie regency of Aceh province.
The second boat carrying 135 refugees landed in neighbouring Aceh Besar regency hours later after being adrift at sea for more than a month, while a third boat is missing.

‘Heated’ debate on fossil fuels as COP28 winds down

Fossils fuels- the main contributor to the climate crisis- were always going to be the hot topic at this year’s global climate talks in Dubai, COP28, with sweltering temperatures making 2023 the hottest year on record. But as the end of the conference draws nearer with a new draft agreement released, fiery debates have taken over the conference.
On Monday night (Dubai time), a new text for the Global Stocktake (GST) was released after negotiators from Guyana and other countries spent days hammering out how best to satisfy everyone.
The GST is a global inventory of sorts that shows how climate goals are unfolding. And the draft text said countries (called Parties) were called upon to take several actions that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Those emissions include carbon dioxide, a harmful gas produced when fossil fuels like oil and diesel are burnt. When that gas is produced, it goes into the atmosphere and leads to global warming.
And countries were told that they could take actions ranging from tripling renewable energy use (that is, using more environmentally-friendly energy sources like solar energy or hydropower) to reduce both the production and use of fossil fuels in a “just orderly and equitable” manner.

Giáo dục cho trẻ dân tộc thiểu số: Bất cập và cản trở
Trong bối cảnh các nguồn lực tài chính ở vùng dân tộc thiểu số rất hạn hẹp, nguồn lực tự nhiên ngày càng suy kiệt thì cơ hội vươn lên với từng cá nhân, từng gia đình, cơ hội phát triển với các vùng dân tộc thiểu số nằm ở nguồn lực con người. Tuy nhiên, trẻ em ở vùng trũng về giáo dục này khó có cơ hội vươn lên, nếu chính sách giáo dục cho vùng dân tộc thiểu số chưa thay đổi cách tiếp cận.
Tỷ lệ trẻ không đi học ở các DTTS Khmer, Mông và các dân tộc ít người khác cao gấp 4-7 lần so với trẻ thuộc nhóm người Kinh – Hoa, Tày, Thái, Mường, Nùng. Ảnh: Shutter
