The Rohingya are an ethnic group, the majority of whom are Muslim, who have lived for centuries in the majority Buddhist Burma (Myanmar). Currently, there are about 1.1 million Rohingya residing in their homeland Arakan (Rohang).

Nearly all of the Rohingya in Burma live in the western coastal state of Arakan formally known as Rakhine and are not allowed to leave without government permission. It is one of the highly resourceful states which has been kept as the poorest states in the country, with ghetto-like camps and a lack of basic human rights, services and opportunities.

Due to ongoing violence, systematic persecution and genocide over the past 70 years nearly 3 million Rohingya have fled to neighbouring countries either by land or boat over the course of many decades such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and many more.

The persecution of Rohingya continues for many decades till the present day and became the world’s Most Persecuted Minority.
