The Esperated Future of Rohingya Crisis: How Regional Dynamics and Geopolitics Hold a Tiny Glimpse for Hope
The Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, particularly in the conflict-ridden Rakhine State, has been escalating, resulting in an ever-more dire situation for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The complexities involving regional dynamics, international aid, and geopolitical stances have created a tangled web of challenges that prevent progress and escalate unfathomable hardships.
The Rohingya: A Name Holdings Huge Consequence
The Rohingya Name: A Symbol of Identity and Rights
The recent ban on the term “Rohingya” by the Arakan Army in Myanmar highlights a deeper conflict. This move is not an isolated act; it is part of a broader strategy of exclusionary policies. For decades, Rohingya have been denied recognition and rights within Myanmar, and today, this ban amplifies their marginalization and suffering. Global attention on this issue can act as a catalyst for action and change.
"The Rohingya community has been systematically denied their identity, rights, and a place in the official narrative. As this becomes more prevalent, both in Myanmar and internationally, cracks are appearing that may pave the way for international pressure on the Myanmar government and more concerted global action to demand recognition and rights," commented Abdullah, a known activist.
Rohingya refugees continue to flee violence in their homeland, with many attempting illegal entry into Bangladesh, paving a way through boatmen and brokers. "With increasing conflict in Rakhine, desperate Rohingya have no choice but to take drastic measures for safety, often falling victim to exploitation. Now more than ever, the need for international support and intervention is clear," explained Yangon-based reporter Tun.
Escalating Humanitarian Concerns
As per United Nations High Commissioner for Higher Commissioner’s report, almost 688,000 Rohingya had already taken refuge in Bangladesh by January 2018, while the current numbers are overwhelming. Any disruption in aid will lead to the emergence of long-term health risks, social instability, and greater vulnerability to illegal networks and criminal activities.
Just recently in August 2023, the World Food Program (WFP) reduced monthly food vouchers from $12.50 to $6 per person for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. This drastic cut is a result of severe funding shortfalls, but the consequences could be deadly.
“Reliance on aid currently supports over a million Rohingya. These cuts can lead to severe malnutrition, health deterioration, and greater vulnerability to exploitation. Addressing these issues will require substantial funding, which is compounded by complex geopolitical obstacles,"[^{References to the current situation of Rohingya refugees are backed with the report of a team that visited Rohingya camps. }]
