Rohingya
· Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic-minority group who lived in Myanmar for centuries.
· Despite living for centuries, the Rohingya, have been denied citizenship and rendered stateless.
· The steady increase in intensity of clashes between the military forces and rohingyas’ resulted in huge influx of refugees in to the nearby countries such as, Bangladesh, India. Etc.
· India views Rohingyas’ as an illegal immigrants and plans to deport 40,000 rohingyas’ already settled in India.
Effects of failure to settle rohingya
· Endemic poverty will made Rohingya refugees vulnerable to crime and a grave threat to South Asia’s security.
· There are genuine fears that, destitute rohingya youth would be easy prey to Pakistan’s ISI and International jihadist outfits.
· Drug, Human and Cattle trafficking is already in rise with Indo-Bangladesh border.
· Further population climb to indulge in crimes due to unemployment will increase the spill over.
· Educating the vulnerable kids & youths and to provide them employment opportunities in order to avoid them from being prey to anti-social elements is very difficult in already stressed countries like South Asian countries.
· Settlement of rohingyas’ in other country will increase the spate of violence between aboriginals and rohingyas’.
Five point Peace plan
· Myanmar must stop the violence and the practice of ethnic cleansing in the Rakhine State unconditionally, immediately and forever.
· The UN Secretary General should immediately send a fact-finding mission to Myanmar.
· All civilians, irrespective of religion and ethnicity, must be protected in Myanmar. For this, 'safe zones' should be created inside Myanmar under UN supervision.
· Sustainable return of all forcibly displaced Rohingyas in India and Bangladesh to their homes in Myanmar must be ensured.
· The recommendations of the Kofi Annan Commission Report must be implemented immediately, unconditionally and entirely.
