Since the military crackdown in Myanmar’s Rakhine state in 2017, Bangladesh has provided refuge to hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims. Currently, the situation remains precarious as Myanmar faces internal conflict following a 2021 coup. Ethnic groups, including the Arakan Army, are engaged in battles against the military junta, further complicating the plight of the Rohingya. Reports indicate that some young Rohingya men are being forcibly conscripted into conflict, making their situation increasingly dire. Meanwhile, lingering issues such as starvation and health crises continue to threaten those remaining in Rakhine state.
Bangladesh has long provided refuge for Rohingya Muslims fleeing from Myanmar, offering essential aid amid ongoing violence in Rakhine state. Many still struggle with displacement.
Roshid Ahmad, a 21-year-old Rohingya, emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting how many are forcibly recruited to fight, forcing families into dire situations.
