Sorry bro,maybe its me who did not understand the situation. But I suggest you (all)check what ethnic cleansing means.its a matter of time but Burmese has a agenda and they will follow it through. After lifting the ban from Myanmar they are doing business with outside world/worldwide. We can help someone who's asking for it.Shouldn't interfere into internal matter.yes,true, but if it makes us victim on the process don't you think we must protest? The decision of making rohingas our citizens is outrageous and insult to any Bangladeshi.We can have a healthy relation with them when Myanmar starts taking back their citizens in to their respective homeland.
The question is: Why are they doing it? They are also wreaking all sorts of shenanigans against
Burmese national Muslims.
That country has been diplomatically, and economically isolated for half a century. And half a century is a very, very long time.
And believe it or not, it is only until recently that proposals from companies like Coca-Cola and Unilever (Lux soaps and the crap) are popping up for the very first time in their country!
Youth unemployment had always been very high over there. EXTREMELY HIGH.
Many of the well-off ones go abroad to study or work. While many of the rest do all sorts of...."stuff". Some even become monks in various monasteries where they receive free food and shelter. So that gives us an idea of what they are really all about.
They are making the Muslims of Myanmar (in particular to the relatively wealthy Panthays) as scapegoats for their economic and social woes. It'd be irresponsible on our part to increase that burden on them.
We've been sleeping for the past 30+ years over this issue, it wouldn't hurt to give out an olive branch for starters. I strongly suggest that we start off from a positive footing. If they don't respond positively, then yes; we'd have to take a heavier hand like what you are suggesting.
I agree with @
the just....you can't pay someone not to continue a holocaust.They are hell bent on killing rohingyas or driving them away.Only Rohingyas can put an end to it.We can provide support if they are willing to fight.We can provide diplomatic support like India and Russia did with us.But ultimately its upto the Rohingyas.We stood up for our rights even before we were provided with weapons to fight an actual war.Rohingyas have to do the same and I haven't heard of any such uprising among them.The best we can do now is to gather support from the international community from friends like Korea and Japan,Malaysia and Indoneseia and go to UN and ask for them to provide security for Rohingyas.
Last time I checked Indonesia and Malaysia, they voted to lift sanctions against Myanmar. Myanmar is also a member of ASEAN. What would a zoo of paper tigers do? Hmm...?
Anyhow, that'll give them some economic clout over Myanmar and hence influence them such that security for Muslims and Rohingyans can be ensured.
That is why I said that Bangladesh should engage in economic activities with Myanmar, and actually negotiate the Rohginya matter directly with them rather than asking somebody else to do the job for us (which is downright arrogant and perhaps cowardly. Compliments from our fine foreign minister).
Arming a Muslim insurgency is not Bangladesh's cup of tea. Not even China nor India can do it. In other words, it is quite unthinkable on Bangladesh's part. Expect ASEAN members to take a similar stand as well. That'll invite more trouble for the nation's Muslim minorities.
If dialogue doesn't help, and they keep creating refugees and other crap, they'll inevitably wind up like Yugoslavia (ethnic and religious divisions are still deep). And I do hope those Burmans aren't as stupid as the Serbs were.
All I'm saying is that we need to have a realistic strategy for dealing with Myanmar. But sadly, I doubt our leaders (both AL and BNP) would have any such vision; let alone commitment.
