Shukkur, a muslim rohingya, alleges he was taken inside a building and beaten by christian Rohingya in Kutupalong refugee camp, 26th January, 2020.

On the night of 26th January, violence broke out in Bangladesh’s Kutupalong refugee camp between christian and muslim Rohingya. As a result, several christians required immediate hospitalisation, and seventeen christian families within Kutupalong have been removed to the transit camp ( a transit centre where refugees stay prior to allocation to a particular camp). Tensions have long simmered between the small christian community (approximately 1500 strong), and their muslim compatriots. Occasionally these tensions spill over into violence. According to the christians, this episode is the worst in the history of Rohingya christian/muslim relations.

The Myanmar government will consider Rohingyas as foreign nationals, said Myanmar Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Myint Thu to reporters after a meeting with hindu Rohingyas at the Kutupalong D-4 camp in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhia yesterday. 

Detailing his government’s position on the issue of Rohingya repartition from Bangladesh, Myint Thu said there were three types of citizenships in the Myanmar Citizenship Act 1982.

According to it, whoever has been living in Myanmar for three generations would be entitled to get “naturalised citizenship”.

KUTUPALONG REFUGEE CAMP, Bangladesh (Reuters) - It was after Mohib Ullah scored his first political victories that the death threats began in earnest. On a recent morning, the Rohingya refugee leaned back on a plastic chair in the Bangladesh camp where he lives, and translated the latest warning, sent over the WhatsApp messaging app.
