International community must reverse cuts to Rohingya humanitarian aid, study says

The international community must reverse the humanitarian aid cuts for the Rohingyas and work with the DACCA authorities to improve the conditions of the refugee camps, according to a new study. The work is published in the journal Third quarterly world.

The two “impossible choice” for the Rohingyas – a return to Myanmar where they are welcomed with an intense repression or remaining in the refugee camps – being of “social death”, indicates the analysis.

This means that it has never been so urgent to act and to contact the Rohingyas tragedy.

Other countries should facilitate dialogue between the Arakane army and Rohingya refugees to ensure the protection of their human rights, including the right to return home to Arakan / Rakhine.

The study, Professor Klejda Mulaj, of the University of Exeter, says that the dignity and survival of the Rohingyas cannot be provided by simple charity.

The international community should put pressure on the emerging leaders of Naycyitaw and Sittwe to end the extortion against the Rohingya population; recognize their suffering and provide reparation; Establish Rohingya citizenship rights and allow them a worthy return to their homeland.

The exclusion of Rohingyas from Myanmar risks has increased instability and violence in the region. The prolonged violence against the Rohingyas has allowed violence against the “others” designated in Myanmar.

Professor Mulaj said: “The genocide against the Rohingya people of Myanmar is one of the greatest tragedies of our time. Marginalization, mistreatment and expulsion of this persecuted minority have been underway for more than six decades.

“This human rights disaster is the result of a state policy and ideology based on nationalism, which has informed the nation-state construction process and threw the Rohingyas as a” other “threatening that should be extricated. Their insecurity and negligence are socially built via official policies that have been encountered by the approval of the Buddhist.

“Educating the global community on the expulsion of Rohingyas is a starting point to resist their international negligence and draw attention to the urgent need to stop the waterfalls of violence against them.”

Research indicates that growing violence against Rohingyas since the 1970s – has recovered in genocide in the 2010s – was caused by “the negative expression of sovereignty in a totalitarian framework” and an exclusivist nationalist ideology which has known Rohingyas as excluding.

The study indicates that they were “altered” during construction efforts – exclusively – a national and national identity focused on Buddhist religion and culture.

Professor Mulaj said: “In the Buddhist majority, Myanmar, lacking in Buddhism and cultural affinity with it, the Rohingyas have become the other formidable. Very brief state laws.

“Myanmar sovereignty has been exercised in a coercive manner, using discriminatory legislation which led to the abrogation of rights and to the repudiation of citizenship, by providing a framework for the complete exclusion of the Rohingyas. This process was possible thanks to a direct relationship between law and violence and led to discrimination, insecurity and the coercive deletion of Rohingya.

“Given the current tumultuous situation in Arakan / Rakhine and Myanmar, an achievable response to the difficult situation of Rohingya cannot be their return to Rakhine without guaranteeing their human rights – and above all of their citizenship rights.”
