Refugees in Bangladesh camps demand rights and citizenship on second anniversary of exodus after Myanmar crackdown.

             
Thousands of Rohingya refugees have marked the second anniversary of their exodus into Bangladesh by rallying and praying as they demand Myanmar grant them citizenship and other rights before they agree to return.

Almost 200,000 Rohingya participated in a peaceful gathering, which was attended by UN officials, at the Kutupalong camp in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar on Sunday, police officer Zakir Hassan told AFP news agency.

KYAW HLA AUNG: ON THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROHINGYA CRISIS, I HAVE A SIMPLE REQUEST | OPINION

ON 8/25/19


I remember a time without discrimination. I remember a time where the Rohingya people could vote, go to school, travel freely between cities and form political parties. That was before. Today, our identity has been stolen from us.

As we mark the second anniversary of the conflict that drove us from our homes, I still maintain my faith in humanity. Our capacity for good and empathy is boundless. I choose to believe this because the alternative is inconceivable to me. Even through our struggles—past and present—I have seen the power of everyday heroes in my community and yours that can save us.

Rohingya crisis: Funding remains great challenge

Only 36% met of required $920m for 2019 

Two years after the latest influx of Rohingyas that began on August 25, 2017, due to an unprecedented brutal military crackdown by Myanmar, funding to look after the persecuted people sheltering in Cox’s Bazar, remains a great challenge.

Three quarters of the year has already elapsed with only 35% of the required $920 million having been made available.

(Bangkok) – The Myanmar government should stop obstructing international efforts to investigate widespread crimes committed against Rohingya Muslims, Human Rights Watch said today. Donors and concerned governments should press Myanmar to protect their basic rights, facilitate international justice for victims, and ensure that any returns of Rohingya refugees are voluntary, safe, and dignified.

The Rohingya suffered genocide at the hands of their own homeland’s military. This Sunday, Aug. 25, marks the two-year anniversary of the brutal crackdown against this long-persecuted minority group by the Myanmar (Burmese) military and security apparatus known as the Tatmadaw. The “clearance operations” unleashed on that day left tens of thousands killed and raped, and entire villages pillaged and burned to the ground. The crackdown — the apotheosis of a carefully calculated and long-developing genocidal plan against the Rohingya — also triggered a mass exodus of approximately 750,000 people to neighboring Bangladesh.

Today, nearly 1 million Rohingya remain in Bangladesh, living in sprawling, squalid and fetid camps — the majority of them women and children. They are stateless because of their native Myanmar’s refusal to recognize them as citizens, leaving them trapped in a protracted limbo between the urge to return to a homeland where they would face near-certain annihilation and their inability to assimilate into Bangladesh, an impoverished country incapable of absorbing them and eager for them to leave.

UN expert: No peace in Myanmar if no military prosecutions

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — There will be no long-term peace in Myanamar and no return of Rohingya refugees unless there is accountability for the “brutality” of the Asian country’s military forces, a member of the U.N. Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar said Friday.

Radhika Coomaraswamy, a Sri Lankan lawyer who is one of the mission’s three international experts, told an informal Security Council meeting on accountability in Myanmar that the commission believes a domestic judicial process is not possible at this time.
