One of the world’s biggest and most urgent refugee crises is currently occurring in South East Asia. The Rohingya people have faced persecution and abuse for decades, with many of those who remain in Myanmar forced to live in camps in Rakhine State, violently driven from their homes, their villages destroyed. Those who fled targeted persecution have sought refuge in countries such as Bangladesh, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and India.
Rohingya genocide
The Rohingya genocide is a period of ongoing persecutions and killings of the Muslim Rohingya people by the Tatmadaw. The genocide has consisted of two phases to date: the first was a military crackdown that occurred from October 2016 to January 2017, and the second has been occurring since August 2017. From 2024 onward, the Arakan Army has also been accused of participating in abuses against Rohingya Muslims, particularly in areas under its control. The crisis forced over a million Rohingya to flee to other countries. Most fled to Bangladesh, resulting in the creation of the world's largest refugee camp, while others escaped to India, Thailand, Malaysia, and other parts of South and Southeast Asia, where they continue to face persecution. Several countries consider these events ethnic cleansing.
