Rohingya Refugee: Fear of Freedom

The Rohingya Muslims are an ethnic minority from Rakhine State in Myanmar. Despite their deep-rooted presence, they have faced decades of relentless persecution—by military regimes, extremist groups, and, more recently, a fragile political landscape.

Since August 2017, over 700,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh, joining thousands who had already sought refuge. Today, approximately 1.1 million Rohingya reside in overcrowded camps in Teknaf and Cox’s Bazar. Since the start of 2024, around 119,000 more have arrived, highlighting the ongoing crisis. The situation remains dire, with Myanmar’s unstable politics fueling continued violence and hardship. The Rohingya’s fear of freedom persists—trapped in a cycle of displacement and vulnerability, with no clear end in sight.
