Rohingya Refugees. (2019)

Rohingya Refugees. (2019) 2 vol. 1100p.

Almost all Rohingyas are now refugees in the camps in Cox’s Bazaar in Chittagong. Others are facing expulsion from India, from border areas where they are encamped between national boundaries, and mass deportation from Saudi Arabia. Others have found refugee in small numbers in the West (for example about 100 in Ireland) and Malaysia (more than 100,000). The precarious refuge in Bangladesh has seen the rise of new or expanded armed groups, Salafist-like religious police, the persecution and forced conversion of Hindu Rohingyas and Christian Rohingyas, and a flourishing drug trade. Meanwhile, in Myanmar, the complex ethnic struggles in Rakhine (and everywhere else) have been renewed with the departure of the Rohingyaqs from ethnic Rakhine (the indigenous people of Rakhine (Arakhan); the flight of Rohingyas into the complex ethnic geography of northeastern India, if not triggering new ethnic fighting has intensified several insurgencies. And the expansion of Muslim Bengalis into the Chittagong Hill Tracts has created a wave of domestic refugees in Chittagong. The complex situation on the ground in the region is exacerbated by the corruption of relief agencies and the false rhetoric of some pro-Rohingya groups across the West.
