Description

The Rohingya crisis, which started in 2017, is still continuing. Rohingyas, faced with persecution from the Myanmar army, fled their homeland en masse. Bangladesh, then, opened their borders to the Rohingyas. This led to the creation of the world’s largest refugee camp in Cox’s Bazaar. The Kutupalong camp houses over a million refugees.Over the years, the shifting attention from Rohingyas to new world crises, Myanmar’s disinterest in taking back the Rohingyas, and security concerns led to growing frustration on Bangladesh’s part.To shed a light on the ongoing crisis, Indian Express’s Monojit Majumdar, who recently visited the camp, joins us today to talk about the historical background of the crisis, Bangladesh’s response and their discontentment with failed repatriation talks.
