Is it possible to send
Rohingya back to a country that still largely believes they don’t belong? Sara
Perria reports on what’s next for the refugee group and the paralysis of the
international community on the issue.
The mass exodus of Myanmar’s stateless Muslim
minority has been condemned as ethnic cleansing. Sara Perria visited Myanmar’s
Rakhine State, shortly before the military’s latest offensive, to investigate
how violence against Rohingya women is used as a weapon of war and how camps
for internally displaced persons risk becoming breeding grounds for abuse.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have recently crossed into Bangladesh in search of safety. Just weeks before the exodus, journalist Sara Perria went to Myanmar to understand the origins of the conflict, the complex
views around the minority group and the role of the international community in their aid.
