The ragtag arrivals brought with them little other than tales of slaughter, arson, and rape. Denied citizenship in Myanmar and in Bangladesh, they are effectively stateless. Kutupalong is the world’s largest refugee camp—a population larger than San Francisco crammed into an undulating ghetto hewed out of 13 sq. km. of what was once impenetrable woodland. During daylight hours, its deadly underbelly stays hidden. The singsong of nursery rhymes floats above rows of thatch shelters. Children wallop threadbare soccer balls as workmen tend roadside flowerbeds and women in niqab veils barter over samosas and sour plums. By dusk, however, the mood changes. The guards melt away and bandits stalk the neatly tended allies. Attacks by blade or bullet occur almost nightly. More than 40 Rohingya refugees were killed here in 2022, say human-rights groups, while at least 48 refugees were slain in the first half of this year. The violence is chiefly blamed on the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army and Rohingya Solidarity Organization, rival insurgents vying for control. The upsurge in murder—as well as widespread drug dealing and human trafficking—is vexing the Bangladeshi host community and presents a political problem for the Dhaka government as critical elections approach in January. When the refugees first arrived, Bangladesh welcomed them with astonishing compassion. But since then, the world has weathered a pandemic and the return of war in Europe, causing international attention and hope of a resolution to fade in tandem. Now the densely packed country wants the Rohingya gone. “It’s a big burden for Bangladesh,” Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina tells TIME. “They should go back to their old country.” Link in bio.
