‘The land where we lived has gone' – the life story of a Rohingya refugee

As a young man Habiburahman fled oppression in his native Myanmar and lives, stateless, in Australia. Now he has written a book about his struggle – and his suffering people.

“A tyrant leant over my cradle and traced a destiny for me that will be hard to avoid: I will either be a fugitive or I won’t exist at all.” – From First, They Erased Our Name: A Rohingya Speaks, by Habiburahman.

There has been much written about the Rohingya people of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. The Muslim ethnic group has been persecuted for generations, most recently from 2017, when 800,000 picked up whatever they could carry to flee to Bangladesh. But little has been written from the point of view of a Rohingya growing up in Myanmar – the daily humiliations, the struggle for survival, the fear, the stories whispered through generations to ensure they are not lost. Habiburahman, known as Habib, was born in a village in the west of the country around 1979 – he is not quite sure of the year. He has written his life story, and through that, the story of his people.

Malaysia’s PM talks to Anadolu Agency on bilateral ties with Turkey, global issues such as Rohingya, Uighur and Palestine

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Mahathir Bin Mohamad said on Friday that Turkey could be an alternative source of import for his country.

In an exclusive interview with Anadolu Agency in the capital Ankara during his tightly packed four-day official visit to Turkey, the veteran politician of Muslim world talked about bilateral issues along with the Rohingya crisis, the Palestinian cause and the situation of Uyghur Muslims in East Turkestan, the area otherwise known as China’s Xinjiang province.

Sweden to pressurise Myanmar for Rohingya repatriation

Imtiaz Ahmed, professor of international relations at Dhaka University, talks to Prothom Alo on various aspects of Bangladesh-India bilateral relations and the recent India election.


Prothom Alo: Did the election results in India surprise you?

Imtiaz Ahmed: Dynastic politics is Congress' biggest weakness. They could not form an opposition alliance. People could not rely on Rahul Gandhi. And BJP has widened its vote bank by using communalism. It is now a question as to how far India will survive as we know it. BJP was not supposed to win if we consider various issues including the rate of unemployment, 22 polluted cities out of 30 in the world, farmers’ hardship and demonetization. BJP has efficiently manipulated the election results. Earlier, Modi won the election by getting 36 per cent votes in two-third seats. I am waiting to find out what he has done this time. The rise of communalism is not only a concern for India, but for also its neighbours.

Yanghee Lee, the UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, discusses the Myanmar military and human rights in the Southeast Asian nation during a video call with RFA, June 26, 2019.

Yanghee Lee, the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, has been an outspoken critic of Myanmar’s powerful military and its brutal crackdowns on Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state in 2016 and 2017. She has called for the prosecution of those responsible for committing suspected acts of genocide against the Rohingya, and blasted the armed forces for their treatment of other ethnic minorities in conflict zones in Kachin and northern Shan states. In late 2017, the Myanmar government barred Lee from visiting the country to assess the rights situation after it said a previous mission report she issued was biased and unfair.

Myanmar’s upstart Arakan Army (AA) has intensified its insurgent operations in recent months, opening a new front of instability in the nation’s long-running ethnic civil wars.

The armed conflict has compounded volatility in Rakhine state, from where over 700,000 Muslim Rohingya have been expelled in government “clearance operations” beginning in 2017 the United Nations and others suggest may have had “genocidal intent.”

Amid growing public concern about Chinese-backed development projects in Myanmar, State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will leave for Beijing late this month to attend the second Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) summit. During her meeting with the Chinese President Xi Jinping there, she is quite likely to discuss the Myitsone Dam, the most controversial Chinese project in the country so far. As well the Myitsone dam, another important China-backed development project is now underway on the shore of Bay of Bengal in Myanmar’s western state of Rakhine. Prior to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s visit to China, The Irrawaddy talks to Bertil Linter, a Swedish journalist and author who has been covering Myanmar and Southeast Asia for nearly four decades, on China’s major involvement—from development projects to the peace process—in the country.

When Rohingya refugees began fleeing into Bangladesh in 2016 and 2017, lawyer and activist Razia Sultana found herself on the frontline of a sexual violence epidemic.

The Myanmar military, in its scorched-earth campaign against the Muslim minority, laid waste to entire villages, carried out massacres and lined up women to be raped, according to U.N. investigators, who have called for the alleged crimes to be prosecuted as genocide. As the exodus swelled to more than 770,000, Razia Sultana got to work documenting the violence.

[INTERVIEW] 'Illusion of stability' hides truth about Rohingya camp

IOM Bangladesh's Giorgi Gigauri reveals the reality of the Rohingya camp at Cox's Bazar and why he visited Seoul

When the International Organization for Migration head of the mega-scale refugee camp for Rohingya people at Cox's Bazar visited Seoul late February, he wanted the Korean government and local donors to the agency to understand a truth undermined by many ― that people confuse the reality with "illusion of stability" when seeing the camp.
