The burden of caring for the refugees has fallen mainly to the local government, and the head of the Social Department there is hoping the repatriation process will be completed before Ramadan begins. He also stated that because the Rohingya have nowhere else to go, since they are not accepted as citizens anywhere, Indonesia is happy to help them become repatriated and settled.
