Who are the Rohingya people?

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority group, predominantly from Myanmar's Rakhine State, who have historically been denied citizenship by the Myanmar government, rendering them largely stateless.

What caused the Rohingya crisis?

The crisis stems from decades of systematic discrimination, violence, and persecution in Myanmar, culminating in large-scale military crackdowns, particularly in 2017, which forced hundreds of thousands to flee.

Where have most Rohingya refugees fled?

The vast majority of Rohingya refugees have sought asylum in neighboring Bangladesh, primarily residing in crowded refugee camps in the Cox's Bazar district.

Are the Rohingya able to return to Myanmar?

Repatriation efforts have largely been unsuccessful due to ongoing security concerns, lack of guaranteed citizenship rights, and fears of continued persecution expressed by the refugees themselves.

What is the international community doing about the crisis?

The international community provides significant humanitarian aid to refugees, has condemned the violence in Myanmar, and called for accountability for alleged atrocities, though durable solutions remain challenging to achieve.
