Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members yesterday fired blank shots near Ghumdhum border in Bandarban's Naikhyangchhari upazila to stop the entry of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar.

A group of 50 Rohingya people tried to cross into Bangladesh through Tumbru border near pillar no. 32 and 33 around 5:30am, our Cox's Bazar correspondent reports quoting Lt Colonel Ali Haidar Azad Khan, commanding officer of the BGB 34 Battalion in Cox's Bazar.


Sensing the attempt, members of the paramilitary force fired blanks to disperse them, he said.

Some Rohingya people have been trying to enter Bangladesh from Myanmar through Bandarban and Cox's Bazar borders for the last several days, the BGB official said.


BGB has strengthened vigilance along the border area, he added.


Ghumdhum Union Parishad Chairman AKM Jahangir Aziz said the Myanmar government had recently released more than 150 Rohingya prisoners, who were trying to enter Bangladesh.


"I have heard reports of coronavirus pandemic spreading throughout Myanmar like other parts of the world. If this information is accurate, it can be a concern for us," the chairman said.


So all should be vigilant to stop unlawful entry across the border, he added.


There are currently now 39 confirmed Covid-19 cases and four deaths from the virus in Myanmar, according to worldometers.info.

Immense pressure should be put on Myanmmar to take back Rohingya refugees and provide them constitutional guarantees, so their rights will be protected.

Myanmmar is a genocidal state hell-bent on ethnic cleansing of Muslims.

Is Muslim an ethnicity?

Is Muslim an ethnicity?

Genocide is the intentional action to destroy a people—usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group—in whole or in part. A term coined by Raphael Lemkin in his 1944 book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe,[1][2] the hybrid word "genocide" is a combination of the Greek word γένος ("race, people") and the Latin suffix -caedo ("act of killing").[3]

There you go dipsh$t.

The international rules of civility and humanity are no different for the Myanmarese or the Tatmadaw.

Just because someone decides to accept a different religion does not make them easier to persecute.

There are countries far more powerful than Myanmar who considers this persecution illegal. There will be consequences.

The reason I ask is Muslim an ethnicity is because the whole Rohingya issue is not about religion. There are millions of Muslims in other parts of Myanmar that are living just fine.

Bangladesh is home of Islam in the South Asia.... they should welcome Rohingya and let them become part of a system....

Your version of "fine" is debatable ofcourse!

You uncivilized savages committed genocide against Rohingyas. Nobody in civilized world care about your race and religion shit...

Show these cunts couldn’t fire blanks last year?

Bangladeshi actions are absolutely evil and need to be condemned.

So heartless and racist.

If at possible, the Rohingya can join the 1.5 million Rogingyas already living Pakistan since the 1940s.

India has 40 million more Muslims than he next biggest Bangladesh. I think since the Mughals ruled and lived in India, rohyngas should be given Indian citizenship instead

They would have been given citizenship if they had come before 2014 under CAA/NRC.... it's late now....

Bhai we already have two million of them living here for more than a decade now. They have to be put under barbed wire confinement because they have already more or less destroyed the resort town of Coxs Bazaar with their mafia groups, gun running and drug business.

Handling them is a logistical and ecological nightmare. Above all they are citizens of Myanmar.

I suggest India being a much larger country take them as a humanitarian gesture.

It is time for BD to stand up and enforce some push backs. It does look inhumane now, but it will actually be better for the Rohingyas in the long run.

Myanmar is happy to let them get into Bangladesh. These push backs will send a clear signal that we have reached our limit and hopefully force them back in the discussion table to repatriate the refugees back to Myanmar.

Wrong approach.

Simply look at the language of rohingya. Its a Chittagong dialect (certainly nothing close to Ghoti Bengali). They would feel most at home there in that area...linguistically and culturally.

BD after all separated from its first 2 wing 20th century nationstate on basis of its language getting trampled on/repressed in their own words (among other reasons)...so "home of islam" is no longer really a relevant purity test for the nation's raison d'etre.

Thus language is adequate and relevant logic to be expanded for these people since they have made it clear from very start they dont like to live in Burma as mere equals with same unified code and politics (like when they pushed for same 2 wing nation to annex Arakan first thing without giving Burma a chance to develop as a nation)...and harbor grudges and violent tendencies based on that complex.
