Bangladesh has requested Egypt to continue providing required support to The Gambia over the Rohingya issue at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a leading OIC member country.

The Gambia on Friday filed a more than 500-page Memorial, which also includes over 5,000 pages of supporting material, in its lawsuit against Myanmar at the ICJ in The Hague, making its case for how the government of Myanmar is responsible for genocide against Rohingya.

Rohingya leaders want measures against crimes in camps

Rohingya rights activists in a joint statement on Monday demanded an end to all ongoing injustice, violence and inhumane crimes against the innocent Rohingya people in the camps in Bangladesh.

They said that the innocent Rohingyas, including women, children, elderly and sick people, were sandwiched and killed in the infightings between October 3 and October 7 centring illegal Yaba drugs business. ‘We have loudly and clearly spoken out against such criminal activities because they neither reflect our peace-loving culture and religion nor serve our ultimate interest of restoring our universal rights in our motherland,’ the statement reads.

The Rohingya right campaigners — Ambia Parveen, Anwar Shah Arkani, Hla Kyaw, Mohammed Ibrahim, Mojib Ullah, Khairul Amin, Nay San Lwin, Tun Khin and Zaw Min Htut — urged Bangladesh government to take the issue seriously before further deterioration of the situation.

Continued clashes in Kutupalong Rohingya camp, Octover 7, 2020 Dhaka Tribune

Is it a clash between registered camp refugees and non-registered camp refugees or is there something more sinister afoot?

In the first week of October 2020, a certain number of Rohingya refugee camps in Kutupalong became battlegrounds.

Around 2,000 people left their shelters and sought refuge in nearby camps, away from the violence. Hundreds were injured, and there were nine recorded deaths. There have also been a number of abductions and disappearances.
