Description

Since August 2017, the Tatmadaw, Myanmars security forces, have conducted clearance operations in the Rakhine State, driving a mass exodus of ethnic Rohingyas to neighboring Bangladesh. In The Rohingya Crisis, Kawser Ahmed and Helal Mohiuddin address core questions about the conflict and its global-regional significance. Who are the Rohingyas and what are the main issues related to their identity What are the root causes of the conflict How has statelessness contributed to this genocide What are the regional and global security ramifications of the conflict What are the geo-economic and geo-political factors contributing to conflict What are the perceptions of the stranded Rohingyas about their desired livelihood What are the best ways toward safe and secure repatriation And what are specific peacebuilding avenues available for conflict transformation at the macro-, meso-, and micro-level

Reviews

The Rohingya Crisis: Analyses, Responses and Peacebuilding Avenues is comprehensive, full of historical detail and should be read by anyone involved in bringing about change with and for the Rohingya.
