The Rohingya Refugee crisis is a large question on the humanity; it’s a major consequence of the Muslim invasion in the Asian countries. Rohingyas were settled in the Rakhine State of Myanmar but they were not considered as the ethnic groups of Myanmar and they were also not considered in the census. They are considered as an illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh. Myanmar's government has stopped recognizing the term "Rohingya" and prefers to refer to the community as "Bengalis". Before the 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis and the military crackdown in 2016 and 2017, the Rohingya population in Myanmar was around 1.0 to 1.3 million, chiefly in the northern Rakhine townships, which were 80–98% Rohingya. Since 2015, over 900,000 Rohingya refugees have fled to southeastern Bangladesh alone and more to other surrounding countries, and major Muslim nations.



More than 100,000 Rohingyas in Myanmar are confined in camps for internally displaced persons. Shortly before a Rohingya rebel attack that killed 12 security forces, August 25, 2017, the Myanmar military had launched "clearance operations" against the Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state that left over 3,000 dead, many more injured, tortured or raped, villages burned. It is said that Rohingya is the major persecuted community in the world. Now Canada is seeking to take the Rohingya in their Refugee camp but Bangladesh Governement is not ready to give them the exit Visa as they want all the Rohingya to move to Rakhine State, the state from where they had repatriated.  

One class of people should not rule the other, it will definitely become the reason for bloodshed. This is what we learned from our history but could not understand it and still history is being repeated and the consequences are affecting the life of whole world.

Myanmar is a Buddhist majority country and it has a state namely Rakhine State which has majority of Muslim population. This muslim population started capturing all the businesses in the state and the ethnic group realized that their survival is on toll. They refused the Muslims which made the muslim population to vacant the Rakhine State and somewhere in 1978, 1991 and 1992 they started repatriating to Bangladesh. Bangladeshis never accepted them and now Government of Canada is taking initiative to accept limited immigrants as they did for Iraqi Yazidis.  

Beatrice Fenelon, a spokeswoman for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, said Canada's latest Rohingya plan was similar to a 2017 initiative to resettle 1,200 Iraqi Yazidis - particularly rape victims - targeted by Islamic State, or Daesh.



"As we did with the resettlement of survivors of Daesh, our intent is not to resettle large portions of these communities, but rather to focus on the small number of people for whom resettlement is the best option," she said.

Before moving forward lets have a look why the Rohingyas were displaced from the Rakhine State.  

The 2012 Rakhine State riots were a series of conflicts between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhines who are majority in the Rakhine State. Before the riots, there were widespread and strongly held fears circulating among Buddhist Rakhines (who were a large majority) that they would soon become a minority in their ancestral state. The riots finally came after weeks of sectarian disputes including the death of ten Burmese Muslims by Rakhines and murder of a Rakhine by Rohingyas. From both sides, whole villages were "decimated". According to the Burmese authorities, the violence, between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, left 78 people dead, 87 injured, and up to 140,000 people have been displaced. The government has responded by imposing curfews and by deploying troops in the region. On 10 June 2012, a state of emergency was declared in Rakhine, allowing the military to participate in the administration of the region. Rohingya NGOs overseas have accused the Burmese army and police of targeting Rohingya Muslims through arrests and participating in violence. A number of monks' organisations have taken measures to block aid from NGOs that help Rohingyas. In July 2012, the Burmese Government did not include the Rohingya minority group in the census—classified as stateless Bengali Muslims from Bangladesh since 1982. About 140,000 Rohingya in Burma remain confined in IDP camps.



Canada offered to take in a limited number of vulnerable refugees, including victims of sexual violence, in May when Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland visited Bangladesh, according to Canadian officials, adding that the proposal still stands.

Canada was willing to discuss cases with Bangladesh but Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh Prime Minister responded that the officials would look into it. Prime Minister Hasina said in September that the Rohingya must return to their own country because Bangladesh does not have any policy of local integration. She also called on Myanmar to abolish laws that discriminate against the minority.

It is known from the sources that discussions between the two governments were ongoing, facilitated by the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR).

More than 700,000 Muslim Rohingya crossed into Bangladesh from Buddhist-majority Myanmar, U.N. agencies say, after Rohingya insurgent attacks on Myanmar security forces in August 2017 were followed by a sweeping military response. And now Bangladesh Government wants them to go back to their state. The U.N. human rights investigator on Myanmar urged Bangladesh on Tuesday to drop plans to start repatriating hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees to Rakhine state this month, warning they would face a "high risk of persecution".



Experts working to protect Rohingya refugees said traumatised women who had been raped by Myanmar soldiers - some of whom have been ostracised after giving birth in the sprawling Bangladesh camps - would benefit from resettlement in Canada.

"It is the humanitarian thing to do. If limited resettlement opportunities are available for this particular group, Bangladesh should think again and issue exit visas," said Laetitia van den Assum, a former Dutch diplomat who served on an international panel headed by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to advise on the crisis in Rakhine state.

The U.N. has documented a "frenzy of sexual violence" by Myanmar soldiers against Rohingya women and mass killings, calling for senior generals to face genocide charges. Myanmar denied this as "one-sided" finding.

Canada was one of the top providers of asylum to Rohingya refugees until Bangladesh stopped the programme, saying it could encourage more people from Myanmar to leave their homes to seek asylum in the West. Canada resettled more than 300 people from camps in Bangladesh between 2006 and 2010, Shannon Ker, a spokeswoman for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, said.



Rohingya refugees are still arriving in Bangladesh and rape survivors are a priority for overseas resettlement, said UNHCR spokeswoman Caroline Gluck. "Repatriation or permanence in the country of asylum may result in additional risk and further traumatisation," she said. "This could also apply to children who may have been conceived as a result of sexual violence, who could face severe stigma throughout their lives."

Bangladesh has not issued exit permits for the resettlement of Rohingya refugees to other countries since 2010, she said. The UNHCR asked Bangladesh in February to allow it to negotiate with Canada, the United States and some European countries to resettle around 1,000 Rohingya refugees.
