'They slaughtered our people':

Rohingya refugees on Myanmar’s brutal crackdown

Video    G    24 August 2018

On 25 August 2017,

the Myanmar military launched violent attacks against Rohingya people,

and 700,000 fled their homes.

Refugees who escaped to Bangladesh say today

they are dealing with the trauma of witnessing mass killings,

rape and the torching of villages,

as they remain trapped in squalid camps

Myanmar -> Bangladesh > Rohingya refugees        UK / USA

In August 2017,

armed attacks, massive scale violence,

and serious human rights violations

forced thousands of Rohingya

to flee their homes in Myanmar’s Rakhine State.

Many walked for days through jungles

and undertook dangerous sea journeys

across the Bay of Bengal

to reach safety in Bangladesh.

Now, nearly 1 million people

have found safety in Bangladesh

with a majority living in the Cox Bazar’s region

- home to the world’s largest refugee camp.

The United Nations has described the Rohingy

 as “the most persecuted minority in the world.”

(...)

The Rohingya have suffered decades of violence,

discrimination and persecution in Myanmar.

Their largest exodus began in August 2017

after a massive wave of violence broke out

in Myanmar’s Rakhine State,

forcing more than 742,000 people

- half of them children -

to seek refuge in Bangladesh.

Entire villages were burned to the ground,

thousands of families were killed or separated

and massive human rights violations were reported.

Thousands of people a year make dangerous journeys

from the Rohingya refugee camps

in Bangladesh and Myanmar

to seek better lives in the Muslim majority countries

of Malaysia and Indonesia.

According to UNHCR’s January data,

last year more than 3,500 Rohingya made the crossing

over the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal,

700 more than in 2021.
