Published August 24,2019

The U.S. warned on Saturday that military abuses against Rohingya Muslims continued in Myanmar as the country's actions constituted ethnic cleansing in Rakhine State.

Marking the second anniversary of the beginning of the Myanmar security forces' "atrocities" against the Rohingya, State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement that more than 740,000 Rohingya were forced to flee to Bangladesh.

Rohingyas Should Go Back to Their Motherland

Motherland is always like a heaven to each and every human being in the world. I had the opportunity to take part, as a Freedom Fighter, in our Liberation War in 1971 as well as to visit a number of countries during my diplomatic career. I understand the basic difference being in my motherland and in a foreign country. One may pass a financially well off life in a foreign country, but he cannot feel the same mental advantages there like in his motherland. Motherland is the mother of all mothers. It is really difficult to find a person who does not love his or her mother. A child is nothing but a mother’s flesh and blood. It is the natural binding that starts from the day a child grows in the womb of a mother. This is the truth; it does not matter whether a mother is financially poor or rich.

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Thursday held Myanmar responsible as efforts to begin repatriation of Rohingyas went in vain and sought more pressure on Myanmar to repatriate the Rohingyas.

"It's Myanmar's failure as it has failed to ensure security for the Rohingyas in Rakhine State. You (international community) have the responsibility. Our appeal to you is to be more aggressive…you will take more actions because it's not our problem only, it's a problem of all of us."

Voice of America Begins Rohingya Language Programing

It is one of 22 VOA language services still broadcasting via SW and MW frequencies

Voice of America has launched its first radio program in Rohingya, the language of more than 800,000 refugees who fled Myanmar and are living in camps across the border in Bangladesh.

Many international organizations are working to provide the refugees with necessities such as food, clean water and shelter, but there is another critical need facing these refugees — the need for information. When I visited the largest camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, last year, many who had just recently been driven from their homes, wanted to know what was going on back in Myanmar. They wanted to know what the international community was thinking about them, or if they had been forgotten.

The life for these and other refugees and displaced persons is extremely difficult. They are basically stateless, homeless, Amanda Bennett

with little opportunity for education or jobs, and few hopes for the future. They are very isolated and want to know what, if anything, is being done to try to resolve their crises.

Bangladesh: Parents fear for lost generation of Rohingya children

Two years after a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign forced around 700,000 Rohingya to flee Myanmar for Bangladesh, refugees are still trapped in unbearable conditions in overcrowded camps, Amnesty International said in a new briefing.

“I don’t know what my future will be”: Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh warns that a ‘lost generation’ of Rohingya children are being systematically denied an education in Bangladesh, and documents the sense of hopelessness and uncertainty expressed by many young people in the camps.

Two years on: no home for the Rohingya

Opinion

By Phil Robertson
August 28, 2019

Time stands still for more than 740,000 Rohingya Muslims, who are still unable to return home two years after being driven out of northern Rakhine state into neighboring Bangladesh, fleeing widespread killings, rape, and the burning of their villages at the hands of the Myanmar military. The recently failed attempt to repatriate refugees underscores just how inadequate the conditions are for their return.

A United Nations-backed fact-finding mission has found sufficient information to warrant the investigation and prosecution of senior military officials for grave crimes, including genocide. Yet the Myanmar government continues to defy the UN Human Rights Council by denying these rights violations ever took place and refusing to investigate seriously and prosecute these crimes or cooperate with international efforts.

Bangladesh needs to have deeper political engagement with Myanmar as well as allies of both the countries – China, Japan and India – for sustainable solution to Rohingya crisis, experts and diplomats said today. 


Apart from Bangladesh government, national and international civil society, non-government organisations (NGOs) and human rights organisations also need to keep up pressure on Myanmar for a sustainable repatriation of the Rohingyas, they said.
