Since the dramatic influx of over 750,000 Rohingya refugees in August 2017, the refugee camps in Bangladesh have become a nexus of violence, with more than 750 Rohingya reportedly killed and numerous women subjected to horrific sexual violence. Additionally, notable incidents like the assassination of moderate leaders have magnified instability, leading to a grim environment for the Rohingya seeking safety and security within their already precarious living conditions.
The political landscape in Bangladesh has shifted following the removal of authoritarian prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who struggled to address the Rohingya refugee crisis. The interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has expressed intentions to secure more rights for the Rohingya refugees and work towards their repatriation—an endeavor complicated by rising tensions between refugees and the local populace, along with ongoing violence in the camps.
