On August 25, Rohingya mark Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day for the fourth year in refugee camps, Bangladesh.
It is to commemorate the Myanmar Military’s campaign of genocide undertaken on August 25, 2017, which has forced more than 750,000 Rohingya from Arakan State of Myanmar into Bangladesh.
Rohingya refugees continue to endure the traumas and losses of the genocide, who have resiliently fight for justice and accountability as Myanmar Military under which they have suffered the gravest crimes, staged the coup disposing the civilian government on February 1, 2021.
For four years, Rohingya refugees particularly the young generations are denied a future and home, while at the same time more than 200,000 Rohingya continue to live in refugee camps after fleeing another campaign of genocide in 1991-2.
Now over a million Rohingya who take shelters in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar region of Bangladesh, call for dignified returns to Arakan with restored rights, safety, justice and accountability.
