With the February 2021 military coup, Myanmar once again hit global media headlines. While the military junta continues to clamp down on pro-democracy protestors and the country is wracked with conflict and unrest, how will the changing political situation affect the Rohingya community in Bangladesh and in Rakhine State in Myanmar?

More than one-third of Myanmar's population is composed of ethnic minorities, who inhabit a vast frontier where the country's natural resources are concentrated. They have staged periodic insurgencies against the military, which has ruled the country for most of the past six decades. The National League for Democracy (NLD) is the only nationally popular political force in Myanmar, but it has a recent history of turning a blind eye to the persecution of ethnic minorities, especially in Rakhine. Although the party won a landslide re-election in November 2020, more than one million members of ethnic minorities were disenfranchised during the vote. The British, who colonised what was then known as Burma, called the country "a zone of racial instability".

Michelle Bachelet urges states to take immediate, decisive measure to halt Myanmar's junta slaughter of its people



The UN human rights chief said Tuesday she fears Myanmar is heading to a "full-blown Syrian-type conflict" as she urged immediate and decisive international steps to halt the military junta's slaughter of its people.

"We have witnessed yet another weekend of coordinated bloodshed in many parts of the country, including the reported mass killing of at least 82 people in [the southern city of] Bago between Friday and Saturday," said Michelle Bachelet in a statement read by rights office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani.
