Myanmar Genocide
Terrorism is one of the most significant and challenging situations, which can lead to loss of lives, disrupt peace and affect the nation on political, social and economic spheres. Unless the security issue is addressed in a serious way, the issue of terrorism remains to be a major challenge in most countries. The issue of terrorism should not only be addressed to the Myanmar community alone, but to the world at large because it can affect any country, otherwise it will remain a global challenge and not for any reason should it be condoned. The Rohingya people blamed the government for rape, mass killings, and destruction of property, a rejection of its people as well as denying them citizenship, in other words, it disregarded their welfare. The safety, security and fair treatment of all nations should be a great area of concern for any nation, which aims to prosper. The government should also treat all the people within its jurisdiction equally and allow each citizen to enjoy their democratic right. In light of this, the plight of thousands of Rohingya people is marked as one of the world’s largest refugee crisis.

The other 135 ethnic groups which were later discovered were not regarded as part of the Rohingya, something which led to its migration.
The eviction of Rohingya people from Myanmar began in 1950’s when the Rohingya started supporting the British against the Japanese without the knowledge that the Japanese were highly supported by the larger part of the Buddhi population in the area (Parnini, 297). Indeed, just after attainment of independence, the Rohingya Muslims separated to form their Muslim nation, something which catalyzed the bitterness between the rest of Myanmar and Rohingya. At the beginning of 2012, a major effort to evict the Rohingya ethnic Muslims began. The raping and killing of the Buddhist woman triggered the conflict between Buddhists and the Rohingya. The “Human Rights Watch” released pictures of the Rohingya villages burning. This made many people shift to Bangladesh to have the security of the UN in Rakhine. Nine policemen were shot and killed by an armed group in Rakhine. Since then, there have been many cases of human rights violations and injustices by the army of Myanmar against the Rohingya.
The beginning of August 2017 marked the mass evacuation of R...
