Amid escalating security and social problems and waning interest among international aid donors, nearly 1 million Rohingya minority Muslims are languishing in one of the world's biggest refugee settlements at Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh. A new book provides a timely expose of the inattention and prejudices that have exacerbated the immense suffering of this ethnic minority.
"I Feel No Peace: Rohingya Fleeing Over Seas and Rivers," by Kaamil Ahmed, a journalist at The Guardian newspaper in London, widens the lens from the abuses inflicted on the Rohingya in their Myanmar homeland and the military violence there, which forced around 730,000 people into Bangladesh in 2017, following earlier migration waves. Through individuals' stories and wider context, this new work illustrates how rights violations against the Rohingya did not end when they crossed that and other national borders in search of safety.
