Myanmar's Rohingyas, mainly Muslim minorities, have faced persecutions in their country for nearly 40 years.

Education is the key to tackling Islamophobia around the world, young Rohingya refugees have insisted during an education summit in Dubai.

Ahmed Ullah, a 25-year-old from Rohingya, was speaking at the inaugural day of the Global Education and Skills Forum (GESF) in Dubai, where he shed light on the work he was doing to help the Rohingya refugees in Canada.
