The Rohingya crisis is not a regional burden but a test of global conscience 

 

The face of the Andaman Sea once again turned into a graveyard for the Rohingya. Earlier this month, a boat carrying Rohingya refugees, desperate families fleeing ongoing persecution and violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, sank near the Thai-Malaysian border, with hundreds still missing.

Understanding Rohingya power struggles before the UN conference

When the Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC) unveiled itself on July 13, Bangladeshi and other news sites obligingly reproduced its press release almost word for word. The self‑described “most inclusive and unified platform ever” promised to speak for Rohingya refugees, the diaspora, and those still trapped in Myanmar. Supporters hailed a breakthrough. Skeptics saw déjà vu.

Justice More Important Than Ever as Rohingya Mark Bleak Anniversary

THE I DIPLOMAT

“It is high time that the world takes action to end the genocide against the Rohingya, starting with supporting the international justice efforts.” 

It was six years ago today, on August 25, 2017, that the Myanmar military poured into Rakhine State and unleashed unimaginable violence on my people, the Rohingya. Over the course of a few weeks, soldiers and their proxies killed thousands of women, men, and children, burned whole villages to the ground, and drove close to 800,000 people to flee into Bangladesh.

It is a source of shame for the world that six years later, not only do the Rohingya remain a people on the brink of extinction, but the architects of the genocide against us remain in power in Myanmar. Despite this, Rohingya and the people of Myanmar have largely been forgotten on the world stage, with other crises dominating global headlines. It is now high time that the world takes action to end the genocide against the Rohingya, starting with supporting the international justice efforts.
