Rohingya in a Deadlock End
Her husband was shot in front of her eyes, her 3 sons thrown into the fire. After that 2 man raped her and beat her unconscious. They set fire on the house. The flames woke her up. She could save her daughter, her only family member left over. She cries and looks in a distant void. “Now I dream every night of my husband who asks me: 'Where are my sons'.

Montas tells her story while sitting in her over heated little hut. It stands besides thousands more huts in the overcrowded Katapulong refugee camp for Rohingya people in Bangladesh.

The Rohingya all tell me they want to return to their land in Myanmar. On three conditions. Justice, the perpetrators of crimes must be punished. Citizinship. And a UN peace keeping force.

More than 1,1 million Rohingya are refugees in Bangladesh. Many organizations think there are even 1,5 million or beyond. Conditions are bad. Overcrowded camps, interdiction to go out, no refugee status. Aid organizations try to avoid epidemics. But for how long they will receive money?

The Rohingya all tell me they want to return to their land in Myanmar. On three conditions. Justice because the perpetrators of crimes must be punished. Citizinship. And a UN peace keeping force. But Birma is far from giving in to those demands. It is still sending Rohingya to closed camps. And the international community does not put a lot of pressure on Birma.
