A humanitarian catastrophe of globalization is being formed and condensed at a distance of a little distance from the village of Chittagong. Millions of helpless, ravaged men, women and children, some of whom are seriously injured in the cruelty of Myanmar military, are rushing to Myanmar-Bangladesh border. The bodies of women and children are flooding every day on the banks of the Naf river, most of whom fleeing from Myanmar, families who are admitted to the sail.
The Myanmar government has denied the Rohingyas' citizenship in the logic, it is awe-inspiring. The present Rakhain kingdom, historically, was the mainland of the Arakan kingdom. This kingdom was once extended to my own district Chittagong. After much of Arakan became a province of British India. History also determines the boundaries of any area in its own way and needs, but the relation of the soil with the people remains unchanged. The area that falls within the new boundaries of the country becomes part of the country. People are willingly and unwillingly converted into a citizen of the country.
After the independence of Burma since the British rule in 1948 and during the subsequent government periods, Burma has recognized all its ethnic groups as Rohitas and their right to represent them. On the basis of which Rohingyas are elected in the parliament of that country and also hold the responsibility of the minister of government.
Surprisingly, from the fertile brain of the country's military rulers in the 1980s, the idea that the Rohingya is not Burmese! Then they took away the citizenship of Rohingyas and adopted various military and political strategies to disperse them from that country. Well planned well-organized torture for racial and religious killing
For the last two decades, thousands of Rohingya refugees have come to Bangladesh to prevent the Myanmar government from being tortured. After 26 August 2017, the level of torture has increased so much that in the last two weeks, nearly three lakh Rohingya refugees entered Bangladesh border.
Last September 4, 2017, I gave an open letter to the UN Security Council requesting emergency measures to stop the country's indiscriminate military attack against innocent civilians in Myanmar, which forced them to flee from the country. Earlier in December last year, along with a few other Nobel Laureates, I presented a joint petition to the Security Council in protest of the barbaric attack on Rohingyas.
The internal situation of the country has censured the armed groups of Rohingyas to demand 'freedom' for Arakan. As a result, a richly rich region of Asia is very poor, but a land rich in economic and human potential has suddenly become hot. All the elements of the relationship between Myanmar and Bangladesh are formed due to the same economic expectations of neighboring people of both countries. Our two countries are trying their best to move ahead and move ahead to become a respected partner in world affairs to build a new world for all. I have always offered Myanmar regional membership of this region to be members of the SAARC and to make Bangladesh a member of the ASEAN Alliance - these two countries can make strong alliances between the two strong and potential states of Asia - I have given this reason for this. I believe it.
Fortunately, the Myanmar government itself has laid the foundation for solving the current Rohingya problem. It has been recently given in the report of the Rakhine State Affairs Advisory Commission appointed by Kofi Annan and appointed by Myanmar government. We can start right here without going to the new debate. This report contains excellent recommendations, which Myanmar government has taken. What is the corrective measures should be taken, it is clearly stated in the Commission's report. It is a matter of great pleasure that all parties have approved this report.
These recommendations include providing full citizenship to Rohingyas; Their right to free movement and equal rights in the eyes of the law; To ensure the local representation of the Rohingyas, due to which local Muslims are deprived of their rights and utilized UN support to ensure the safety of the Rohingya who return to their land. The full and immediate implementation of the recommendations of the Anan Commission is able to end the Rohingya crisis.
The process of establishing peace has to be started right now. If we do not take the system now, the fear of radicalization that the commission has reminded of the commission of Myanmar authorities will surely be very complicated. The time taken to take quick action and the silence and inaction of the government of Myanmar will make the process of peace settlement and difficult.
In order to implement the recommendations of the Commission, I recommend the following preparatory steps:
1. Immediately form an 'implementation committee' with members of the Anan Commission, whose job will be to supervise the proper implementation of recommendations of the Commission.
2. Take immediate steps to stop the refugee flow from the country.
3. Invite observers to visit regularly affected areas.
4. Arrange to bring those refugees who have already left the country.
5. Setting up transit camps in Myanmar under the UN funding and supervision for the rehabilitation of returning refugees.
6. The citizenship of the Rohingya according to the recommendation of the report of the Commission of Implementation Committee under the implementation committee.
7. Ensure the freedom of Rohingyas to have political freedom and free movement.
As the start of this process, Myanmar national leader Aung San Suu Kyi can visit refugee camps in Bangladesh. He can assure the refugees that in Myanmar as his country, it is also the refugees of their own country; He came to take them back. Such a tour and speech can calm the whole situation.
Aung San Suu Kyi would like to build a new Burma, where there will be no discrimination. Racial, religious, linguistic or cultural, and it must be developed based on human rights and rule of law. The time to make his most important decision in his life is now in front of him. It is the historic moment of choosing which way to go - peace and friendship, or hatred and conflict.
