What next for the Rohingya refugees?

The ARU called to end radical activities in refugee camps in its official statement

By Mir Ahmed Sidiquee

The Rohingya crisis is a top issue for the world community that remained unsolved. It was created by the governments of Burma (Myanmar), has been based on hatred and dissimilarity of faith.


The Rohingyas are blatantly denied citizenship and basic human rights, also being treated as sub-humans in Myanmar by the governments and murderous Tatmadaw together with extremist Buddhists of Myanmar (so call Nationalists).

Indeed, the Rohingyas are historical people of Arakan, sons of the soil of Arakan, undeniable historical pieces of evidence are available inside Arakan and worldwide.

The Rohingyas are suffering from the government's back genocidal campaign for years. The final stage has been carried out in 2017, it was extraordinary among many stages, driven out million Rohingyas to bordering Bangladesh, thousands of Rohingyas have been mercilessly killed, raped, burned alive, hundreds of Rohingya villages have been partially or entirely burned amongst about 50 of them have been bulldozed and built infrastructures for settlement of Buddhists and their security.

The heinous crimes and inhumanities, the Myanmar government has committed, are pending in the world courts, meanwhile, the international community is trying its best for the repatriation of Rohingya refugees to their homes, with their rights, justice, security, and dignity but the government of Myanmar - either so call people's governments or Military - is fooling to the world by playing games of denial.

The remaining Rohingyas inside Arakan are too suffering as well, all those are in open prisons either they are in IDP camps or in their villages, at the targets of a Buddhist rebel group, namely the Arakan Army (AA) https://bit.ly/2WGOIYY and Myanmar military, both are murderous and in same ways and planned to drive out the Rohingya Muslims from Arakan by anyways.

The UN and international community have been failed to initiate a peace process for the Rohingya refugees, to return to their homes. Similarly, the land where their homes to turn back is also not peaceful at all, both rebels and the Myanmar military are on watch, waiting to kick out the remaining Rohingyas, forcibly Banglizing them.

The officials used to say to the remaining Rohingyas that "you have options; accept this NVC (genocide card) or go out or ready to go jail or ending life." Many Rohingyas died, were jailed, and fled for the NVC, which is called genocide card, one of the main sources of the Rohingya crisis. 

The government of Bangladesh is trying its best together with the world community, for dignified and voluntary repatriation of Rohingya refugees to their original homes. There are more than a million Rohingya refugees residing terribly in Cox's Bazar, a big burden for Bangladesh.
