Rohingya

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority primarily from Rakhine State in Myanmar. They have lived in the region for generations but face longstanding discrimination and statelessness, as Myanmar considers them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, despite their long history there. Over the years, the Rohingya have experienced severe persecution, including violence, forced displacement, and restrictions on their rights. Many have fled to neighboring countries like Bangladesh, seeking safety. The situation is internationally recognized as a humanitarian crisis, with ongoing efforts to address their plight and secure their rights.
