The Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: Geopolitical Implications, Human Security Concerns, and Repatriation Politics

Due to persecution, the Rohingya ethnic minority in Myanmar has repeatedly fled into Bangladesh, putting an uneven strain on that country's meager resources. One million Rohingya refugees are currently being housed in Bangladesh, which raises serious concerns about the safety of the population. Experience has shown that the government of Myanmar has been particularly unwilling to return its nationals, the Rohingya, despite Bangladesh's government's aggressive diplomatic efforts on all levels. The Myanmar government has been extremely reluctant to allow the Rohingya to return home despite Bangladesh's government's strenuous diplomatic efforts. Giving the Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh the simplest essentials of life, such as food, shelter, and healthcare, has been of the utmost significance until they return to Myanmar. Rohingya refugees face a serious threat from human trafficking. Food and health security are two always shifting challenges that refugees in temporary housing must deal with. Bangladesh is using every professional effort to use the global and the regional power to end in an amicable settlement to this developing calamity, despite India and China supporting Myanmar's stance on the Rohingya issue. Both countries have a large economic and strategic stake in Myanmar, as we have already mentioned. Even Russia seems to be on Myanmar's side in this sense. In an effort to persuade Myanmar to send the refugees back, the Bangladeshi government has displayed its diplomatic prowess during the past few months. The United Nations, which has made the decision to be extremely adamant about the effective repatriation of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh, needs to work together with donors and other pertinent stakeholders in order to move forward and come up with a solution to this problem that will remain forever. This resolution was made because the United Nations is decided to be extremely insistent about the meaningful repatriation of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh. This solution can be achieved by applying pressure to the government of Myanmar to take back its citizens by establishing an environment that is safe and secure.
