MAHMUD HOSSAIN OPUMyanmar has continuously evaded their responsibilitiesSince August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya have sought refuge within Bangladesh’s borders, fleeing the brutal persecution of the Myanmar army. The fact that, over the last few months, more than 1,300 Rohingya refugees have come into Bangladesh from various places around the world goes to show that the pressure on Bangladesh is constantly increasing. The initial delay in recognizing the atrocities notwithstanding, the international community must do more to meet the needs of the Rohingya people and ensure that Myanmar does the right thing. Myanmar has continuously evaded their responsibilities and denied the Myanmar army’s involvement in the heinous crimes carried out against the Rohingya people. This is where the world must act.
