The Exodus of Rohingya Community

Abstract

During 2017, almost 671,500 people crossed the Bangladesh-Myanmar border at the time of violence in the Rakhine State of Myanmar. The violence associated with the “Rohingya-Refugee Crisis,” is now referred to as one of the worst humanitarian crises in the history of humankind. Refugees were dependent on humanitarian assistance provided by different organizations for their basic livelihood. This study intended to dig deeper into the history of the Rohingya people and the complex factors that are behind their refugee status. It is evident that the history of the Rohingya community itself is complicated. Previously, they have supported and were supported by different nations. This study presents the socio-political history of eastern-western interventions in Arakan, isolation practices, global norms, and anti-norms that create the present situation, as well as identifies the efforts of international and host communities to protect Rohingya rights.
