MYANMAR

Myanmar and Rohingya Muslims.Fresh outbreak of violence after decades of ethnic tensions have forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims to flee Bangladesh. A couple of years ago, we all came across certain footages of people stranded on fishing boats in the sea. They had nowhere to go and begged for help- shaking up the international community and throwing their claims of civilization and betterment in their face. Rohingya are described as the world’s most persecuted people that are systematically discriminated by Myanmar, who consider them illegal immigrants. They predominantly exist in the Rakhine state and speak in dialect common with Bangladesh. The UN’s top human rights official claimed that the military’s response to Rohingya insurgency seemed to be a perfect “textbook example” of ethnic cleansing.
