The world's largest migrant camp: More than a MILLION Rohingya refugees live in makeshift homes spread across five square miles in Bangladesh after fleeing oppression in Myanmar
2021-11-26
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic group, more than 700,000 of whom fled persecution and violence in Myanmar

  • Bangladesh has been sheltering 1.1 million refugees in crowded camps near its coast, such as Kutupalong

  • Incredible aerial photographs have revealed the true scale of camp that stretches as far as the eye can see

  • The camp is split by bright orange roads that separate makeshift houses with red, green and blue roofs

  • But now, Bangladesh has started relocating hundreds of Rohingya to an island in the Bay of Bengal, despite concerns from rights groups over conditions on the vulnerable low-lying island

#6  Rob @ #4, the major difference is the Rohingya are moslems being pushed across the border as annexation. Sound Familiar?

#5  Haven't come up with a Rohingya equivalent for 'Paleostinian' yet.

Nothing that drips off the tongue, anyway.

#4  How does Bangladesh differentiate Rohingya ignorant peasants from the native ignorant peasants?

#3  Myanmar considers the Rohingya to have been troublemaking illegal immigrants from Bangladesh over the past two-plus centuries, and are just as happy to have an excuse — Rohingya independent movement terrorism against the native population — to send their descendants back where their ancestors came from. But Bangladesh doesn’t want what they consider ignorant peasants either.
