The Rohingya problem is not a temporal human
disaster, but planned ethnic cleansing, which has long been sponsored by
state-sponsored generations. Myanmar's junta government formed a
well-planned Arakanite, living in line with traditional rights of
Rohingyas to convert them into an unspecified population, but Aung San
Suu Kyi's political party formed a democratic government, but there was
no change in the discriminatory policies. Recently, under the name of
the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), a rebel group formed by
Myanmar in Rakhine state, the violence against the Rohingyas has started
in 24 police camps and a military abduction. Myanmar's security forces
and the extremist Buddhist community on the pretext of the attack of
ARSA have launched inhuman torture and torture on innocent Rohingyas, as
it is inhumane and condemnable.
In the face of killing, arson and rape, Rohingyas are running at the
border with Bangladesh to save lives. Already, about one lakh Rohingyas
entered Bangladesh; almost every few thousand Rohingyas are trying to
enter Bangladesh every day. BGB and coastguard members are struggling to
prevent Rohingyas from entering the village.
The
Rohingya issue is not a recent incident. After taking the statehood in
1962, after the coup of General Ne Win, the suffering of Rohingyas came
down. The military government then took a step to stop the illegal entry
of that country. As a result of the action taken by the military junta
government in 1977, persecution of Rohingyas came down. In 1978, under
the 'Nagaman' ('Dragon King') campaign of Myanmar army, nearly two lakh
Rohingyas were forced to take refuge in Bangladesh.
But
in view of Bangladesh's extensive diplomatic engagement, the Myanmar
bilateral agreement was signed, due to which Bangladesh's repatriation
of Rohingya is possible. But the Myanmar junta government amended civil
laws in 1982, which deprived the Rohingya civil rights. The military
government claims that there is no group called 'Rohingya' in their
country, these populations are in fact illegal communities of East
Bengal, who have taken shelter in the Myanmar next to the patronage of
the British government.
But history says that the origin and development of Rohingya Muslims in
the political, social and cultural areas of Arakan In fact, by denying
the citizenship of the Rohingya Muslim community, expelled from their
country, the extremist Buddhist people of Myanmar chose such tricks to
make Myanmar a Buddhist nation. Under the laws of the citizenship of
1982, the military junta identified Rohingya as a foreigner and took
away the franchise.
When religious violence persists, then they Rape happens as regularly
happens Their property was taken away forcibly. Compulsory labor is
engaged in. Their education - the scope of health care is denied.
Marriage is not allowed. If the child is not registered then. Ethnic
identity is not allowed to be published. The numbers do not grow, so
they are imposed on them one after another restrictions. In 1992, after
the re-torture of Rohingyas, nearly Two lakh seventy thousand Rohingya
refugees took shelter in Bangladesh.
Last
October in Rakhine's Maungdaw, the army conducted extensive torture on
Rohingya Muslims responsible for the Rohingya attacks by the border
guards. At least 70 thousand Rohingya fled to Teknaf and Ukhia in Cox's
Bazar after the army's torture. The concern is that since 1979, the
Rohingyas who took refuge in Cox's Bazar Miyanmer did not take many of
them back. Now there is a new Rohingya penetration again. Considering
humanitarian issues, Bangladesh has always adopted liberal policy
towards Rohingya. But the way how long?
With
the adoption of the state power of the pro-democracy leader Aung San
Suu Kyi National League for Democracy (NLD), the military rule lasted
for more than 50 years in Myanmar lasted nearly two years ago. The
democratic government started its journey. Aung San Suu Kyi has long
been struggling to recover Myanmar's democracy, establish good
governance and protect human rights, have been tortured, spent life in
prison.
In
the peace of the Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, so the expectations
of the world were a little more. All thought that in Myanmar, true
governance, rule of law and human rights will be established. Especially
the prospect of the oppressed Rohingya Muslims in the country was a
little more than expected. Rohingya thought that Suu Kyi's democratic
government will restore their state rights; Happily - they can live in
peace in Myanmar.
Going
to the Rakhine state in the election campaign Suu Kyi told that it was
important to protect the people from the ethnic and religious
deprivation. All the people of the country have to be one. Hatred and
intimidation towards each other does not bring any success. Though he
did not live directly, he relied on Rakiben (once known as Arakan State)
to the minority of the oppressed Rohingya Muslims. But they did not
have to wait too long to have a dream. Even after the democratic
government came to power, Rohingyas are being oppressed and getting new
levels of day! San Suu Kyi, the Nobel laureate in peace, is absolutely
silent on the Rohingya issue in the politics of vote!
The
exact number of Rohingya refugees who have taken shelter in Bangladesh
as a result of the violence of the radical Buddhists of Myanmar, has no
accurate statistics. However, in the UNHCR global report last year, the
number of non-registered Rohingya in Bangladesh is 2 lakh 43 thousands.
And
their managed refugee camp has 33 thousand 207 people. That is, the
number of Rohingya registered and unregistered Rohingya from Myanmar in
Bangladesh becomes number two lakh 76 thousand 207. Already more than
one lakh Rohingyas have already been infiltrated in Bangladesh. That is,
the number is increasing day by day, which is very worrying. And
Myanmar is not even able to return Rohingyas infiltrating Bangladesh
very easily. Because the Myanmar government does not recognize Rohingya
as the citizen of that country.
As
a result, many of the Rohingyas who took shelter as refugees in
Bangladesh had been persecuted at different times in the past and could
not be repatriated. Although Rohingya issue is the internal subject of
Myanmar, Bangladesh is well-connected to this problem. Considering the
humanitarian situation, Bangladesh had given shelter to Rohingya
refugees and is still giving it, but now it is time to consider internal
safety measures and state capabilities.
Bangladesh
is not only under the pressure of its population, it is necessary to
satisfy its basic needs; In the meantime, the time has come to assert
the rationale for the refugees to undergo extra pressure year after
year. Besides, the safety of Bangladesh also needs to be considered. In
the country, militancy in the country is trying to head out. Many
Rohingyas are also involved in news related to drug trade, arms trade,
and smuggling, which is threatening for the security of Bangladesh.
Due to the Rohingyas's position of infiltrators, the rare forest
reserve in Teknaf has already been completely destroyed. Apart from
these problems, due to the large number of Rohingyas, their economic
impact on the country's economy has been affected. The Myanmar
government wants to impose the Rohingya liability on Bangladesh's
shoulders for all time. The ruling regime of Myanmar often publicly
declares these Rohingyas as illegal immigrants Bangladeshi.
For
this, it is necessary to be very cautious to solve this problem.
Bangladesh can not take responsibility for Rohingyas due to the
similarities in language, religion or ethno-composite structure.
Bangladesh should pressurize Myanmar as quickly as possible to solve the
Rohingya problem. Regional agencies, including SAARC, ASEAN, OIC, may
be pleased to put pressure on Myanmar. Bangladesh may raise the problem
of Rohingya in the UN if needed. Bangladesh is concerned about the
Rohingya issue, it is a matter of concern, and it will take an interest
in internationalizing the Rohingya problem.
However,
on the issue of Rohingya, Bangladesh-Myanmar's bilateral relations
should not be ruined. Because Myanmar is an important factor in
Bangladesh's foreign policy. Smuggling of border, Rohingya problem,
maritime boundary, border problem between the two countries is going on
for a long time. At present, the border problem of the two countries is
not the same as mentioning.
On
the basis of negotiation, the maritime boundary of the international
court has been determined. Recently, smuggling is also at controlled
level. Now the Rohingya problem seems to be an obstacle to bilateral
relations. Therefore, the two countries have to be sincere to solve this
problem. If Bangladesh fails to solve this problem diplomatically, then
Rohingya refugees will have to bear the burden of living forever.
