Rohingya Refugees Rally in Bangladesh Demanding Safe Return to Myanmar
Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar camps rallied on August 25, 2026, demanding a safe return to Myanmar's Rakhine State amid ongoing security concerns. Over one million Rohingya fled Myanmar after a 2017 military crackdown, which Myanmar defends as counter-terrorism but has been widely condemned as ethnic cleansing and genocide. Bangladesh has attempted repatriation twice without success and does not plan to force returns. The International Court of Justice is reviewing allegations of genocide against Myanmar.
