The perspective towards Rohingya refugees needs to shift from viewing them as a burden to recognising them as a competent community
Shan State in eastern Myanmar has been rocked by fighting since late June when the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) renewed an offensive against the military along a major trade highway to China.
The junta appears more vulnerable than ever. The formerly 500,000-strong military currently stands at around 150,000 troops or fewer and is severely overstretched.
Reportedly, various armed organisations and small groups are active within the Rohingya camps.
Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Ito Naoki today said it is unlikely to see a full-scale Rohingya repatriation anytime soon due to the situation in Myanmar at this moment.
The Myanmar military’s continuous air and ground assaults against the Arakan Army (AA) along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border in the past few weeks have triggered fears of fresh entry of Rohingyas into the country.
Bangladesh must have meaningful dialogue with all actors involved for repatriation of Rohingya refugees.
War crimes investigators got hold of thousands of pages of documents that shed new light on Myanmar’s campaign to expel the country’s ethnic minority -- the Rohingya, as well as efforts to hide the strategy from the world.
The UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar (FFM) has urged the international community to cut off all financial and other support to Myanmar’s military.

The world must cut off financial and other support for Myanmar's armed forces, a UN fact-finding mission said today, repeating a call for top generals to be prosecuted for abuses against the Rohingya Muslim minority.
