Rohingya refugees

Despite the U.N. secretary-general’s visit to Bangladesh this week, the outlook for Rohingya refugees remains bleak.

Rohingya refugees are already facing significant challenges due to a reduction in international support. The freeze in U.S. aid has forced many vital programs to shut down entirely.

Deadly fires in the refugee camps in Cox's Bazar have become a terrifyingly regular occurrence.

Last year saw a record number of Rohingya refugees set off by sea from the camps in southeastern Bangladesh.

The arrest warrant against junta chief Min Aung Hlaing only addresses a tiny portion of the crimes committed by the Myanmar armed forces.

Min Aung Hlaing has been accused of crimes against humanity for the deportation and persecution of Rohingya civilians in 2017.

The case of Dil Mohammed, a prominent Rohingya spokesperson currently detained by Bangladeshi authorities, will be examined by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.

And with reports of starvation and widespread atrocity crimes, the pressure to make it work has never been greater.

The Arakan Army's involvement in the August 5 massacre and other attacks on Rohingya civilians has raised thorny question for Myanmar's resistance movement.

The announcement by the World Food Programme is welcome news, but underscores the apparent intractability of the Rohingya refugee crisis.

Rohingya activists and local media reports say that civilians have been targeted by the Arakan Army in Maungdaw, a town close to the border with Bangladesh.

Tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims remain trapped in northern Rakhine State, as fighting continues between the military and the Arakan Army.

Rohingya youth in refugee camps in Bangladesh face intimidation and forced recruitment by gangs, coercing them to join the very army that uprooted them.

Rights groups have accused the Arakan Army of displacing tens of thousands of Rohingya civilians during its seizure of the town of Buthidaung.

Recent comments by the commander of the Arakan Army have prompted a heated debate about history, language, and ethnic identity.

Leading precarious lives in camps in Bangladesh and India, stateless Rohingya face an uncertain future.

The rescue off the coast of Aceh underscores the extreme dangers that many refugees are exposing themselves to in order to find sanctuary abroad.

Right-wing disinformation networks in India are using events in Indonesia to revive fake news and hate speech campaigns targeting the Muslim minority group.

Aceh’s growing hostility toward Rohingya arrivals proves that international, regional, and federal support is essential for sustainable community-driven responses. 

There are signs that the region's ongoing anti-refugee backlash is being whipped up by domestic actors' quest for political gain.

The protest in Aceh follows the arrival of more than 1,500 refugees, mostly women and children, since last month.

The past week has seen a new wave of Rohingya arrivals from the refugee camps of southeastern Bangladesh.

Five boats carrying nearly 900 people have reached western Indonesia over the past week, UNHCR officials say.

“It is high time that the world takes action to end the genocide against the Rohingya, starting with supporting the international justice efforts.”
