Mohammad Yunus, a prominent figure from Bangladesh, has addressed the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), expressing his concern for the Rohingya and the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. He emphasized the need to find solutions for the violence and issues in Rakhine, advocating for a political settlement involving all ethnic groups in the region. Yunus believes this is crucial to ensure the Rohingya can integrate into society with equal rights and citizenship.
The situation in Rakhine has deteriorated since 2017, with ongoing clashes between ethnic groups and the junta army. This has led to a mass exodus of Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh.
