Meanwhile, Asdep 3 / V Kamtibmas Kemenkopolhukam RI Brig. Gen. Drs. Chairul Anwar, SH, MH said, "In Coordination we have agreed several things, for the refugees in Bireuen a total of 79 people and in East Aceh a number of 5 people will be united and transferred to shelters in Langsa City"

"Because in Langsa City 2015 has already accommodated Rohingya refugees and their shelters are still feasible and the ministry can make improvements and be supported by International Organization for Migration (IOM) which we provide for a month" he said

It is said by Chairul, "Why are they being moved, because this (Bireuen-red SKB) is not a temporary shelter, but a place of teacher training center that is needed by the Bireuen regency so we need to prepare a place for them (Rohingya-red immigrants) longer".

"In this case we are working together with UNHCR in the United Nations (UN) commission to look after the refugees to take steps in the process of finding recipient countries and also possible family unification where their families are located," Chairul

"To the Bireuen regency we thank you for accommodating Rohingnya refugees and treat them extraordinarily humanely by providing facilities and logistical support both from Pemkab and assistance from the community" pungkasnya
