Part one :

Over the past two months, more than 600,000 Rohingya people have been driven from their homes, had their land
destroyed, and endured torture and rape while searching for safety.
The Rohingya are often described as among the most persecuted people on earth. They are a predominantly
Muslim ethnic group.They lived in Myanmar’s Rakhine state for centuries but they are refused citizenship. For years,
their movement has been restricted, and they have been denied access to education, health care, and other basic
services.
Under the guise of fighting insurgency, or terrorism, the Rohingya have suffered what the UN has called ethnic
cleansing. Since 25 August 2017, almost half the Rohingya population in Myanmar has been expelled out – one of the
fastest movements of people in recent decades. Whole villages have been burned down and families driven from their
homes.Rohingya have been classed as illegal immigrants in their own country and have been denied civil rights.
Bangladesh has opened its borders and is doing what it can, but is it enough ? Humans must not be bystanders
to this genocide. We cannot allow people to be slaughtered and burnt out of their homes, while the world watches.
After every atrocity, we say: “Never again.” Now, we must mean it.
