STORYLINE
UN refugee agency (UNHCR) Special Envoy Angelina Jolie visited Bangladesh for the first time where she met with Rohingya refugees and heard their harrowing stories first-hand.
The Cox’s Bazar District in Bangladesh is now home to nearly one million Rohingya refugees. After decades of persecution and discrimination, many said they feel safe, but their futures remain uncertain – including their ability to return to their homes in safety with citizenship rights.
Twenty-two-year-old Mujibur arrived to Cox’s Bazar in 2016, with this father, seven siblings and his wife. His mother was taken during their flight. She is still in Myanmar.
UPSOUND (Rohingya) Mujibur, Rohingya refugee:
“Our house was burned in Myanmar. The military shot at the people. On the journey my mother was taken.”
Mujibur’s father died of natural causes a few days ago. He said he feels that he has a great deal of responsibility on his shoulders at a young age.
Hosne is a 25-year-old-widow with two young boys, five and three. Her husband was shot in front of her eyes in their home in 2016.
SOUNDBITE (Rohingya) Hosne, Rohingya refugee:
“God knows when I was in my mother’s womb was the last I was at peace in Myanmar.”
She said her whole village was burnt down, and they escaped to Bangladesh. She says she would will only return to her Myanmar if the people feel safe and protected.
UNDBITE (Rohingya) Hosne, Rohingya refugee:
“Without proper justice, we can’t go back to Myanmar. We would rather die here.”
The Kutupalong is now the world’s largest refugee camp. Some of the camp’s residents came as early as 1991, but the vast majority arrived since August 2017, as people fled violence and attacks on their homes. Many were killed. The scale of the displacement is now and so large that there are twice as many Rohingya living in exile than in Myanmar itself.
SOUNDBITE (English) Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR):
“It was deeply upsetting to meet the families who have only known persecution and statelessness their whole lives, who speak of being ‘treated like cattle.’ I am therefore thankful that here in Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees have their existence recognized, and are being provided by the Government and UNHCR with documentation and proof of their identity.”
Jolie said all refugees are inherently vulnerable but the Rohingya were also stateless. She said they had been denied their most basic human right, citizenship in their country of birth, adding that some still won’t even call the Rohingya by their rightful name.
Jolie stressed that the responsibility to ensure the rights of the Rohingya people and their return to Rakhine State lies squarely with the government and the authorities in Myanmar.
