The Rohingyas

 Author: Jagjyot Singh

Rohingya are a persecuted minority in the world, they have a history in Myanmar, the country that's refusing them. The Rohingya people are an ethnic group from Myanmar, called Burma.

In Myanmar, one of the families has a house but now they have nothing those people show the documents of the property but the Myanmar government does not recognize their ownership. Do they say this is not your country where are you from? You are Bangladeshi. Rohingya are also denied education, health care, and freedom of movement. Despite living from generations they are not considered as citizens but are branded as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Most of the refugees are women and children hunger is hitting hard. There is a risk of health hazards, poor sanitation no place to live. Myanmar is not a place for Rohingya. Baby children are dying due to poor sanitation and hunger and also the military kills the children. When the military comes they just leave everything at home and run says the 'Rohingya'. The military chases Rohingya and make them run and shoot them to kill the children, that's what the Rohingya people say about the Myanmar military.

The Myanmar military denies targeting the civilians and blames the Rohingya for the crisis. Several Muslims from the Rohingya are fleeing to Bangladesh. The refugee camps provide a little bit of food and shelter. Every person has a different story of their suffering. People say that the Rohingya have no ethnicity that's why they commit genocide more than 300,000 at the refugee campsite. Bangladesh is worrying because half a million Rohingya are at its door. The Rohingya people say that if we don't get rights in Myanmar then we will go wherever we get rights even if we die on the way.

Since 2015, over 900,000 Rohingya refugees have fled to south-eastern Bangladesh alone. In August 2018, a study estimated that more than 24,000 Rohingya people were killed by the Burmese military and local Buddhists since the "clearance operations" started on 25 August 2017. The government says that the Bengali terrorist existed hence the crises happened.
