Rohingya in Bangladesh

A group of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh recently visited Myanmar’s Rakhine State to lay the groundwork for repatriation. Is Myanmar serious about the effort? 

The long-simmering refugee crisis between Bangladesh and Myanmar is threatening to boil over into a conflict. But it seems none of the regional powers are paying attention.

Bangladesh’s prime minister highlighted the issue in her UNGA speech. Will anyone listen?

“Failing meaningful and safe return to Myanmar, I worry what the future holds. How long can people live with so little basic protection and hope?”

The language of the ruling reveals racist treatment of the Rohingya community amid growing calls for their repatriation.

An international advocate for Rohingya rights, Mohibullah, was fatally shot last week in Cox’s Bazar.

The world owes Bangladesh a standing ovation for taking in an astonishing 1.3 million Rohingyas.

Bangladesh has so far successfully limited the health impact of COVID-19 in Cox’s Bazar, where upwards of 850,000 Rohingyas reside. But the international community must continue to step up and support the response.  

Bangladesh has relocated some of the Rohingya refugees in the country to an island in the Bay of Bengal.

Myanmar’s violent campaign of driving the Rohingya people out of their territory has both human and environmental costs.

The first confirmed case in Cox’s Bazar, on March 24, is a serious concern for aid workers.
