Myanmar (Rohingya crisis)

The Rohingya crisis in Myanmar involves the persecution of the Rohingya, a Muslim minority group in the predominantly Buddhist country. They face widespread discrimination, denied citizenship, and violent military operations, especially since 2017, which have forced hundreds of thousands to flee to neighboring Bangladesh. Myanmar considers them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, denying their citizenship and rights. The international community condemns the abuses as human rights violations and ethnic cleansing. The crisis highlights deep-rooted ethnic tensions, discrimination, and unresolved conflicts over identity, citizenship, and national belonging in Myanmar.
