OP-ED: A wake-up call for Bangladesh?

In handling the Rohingya crisis, it is time Bangladesh prepared for the long haul
In the wee hours of February 1, 2021, Myanmar’s military -- the Tatmadaw -- declared a one-year state of emergency and arrested democratically elected leaders of the ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), including Myanmar’s former de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, thereby putting a nail on the coffin of Myanmar’s fledgling democracy.

The commander-in-chief of defense services, Min Aung Hlaing, notable for engineering Myanmar’s ethnic cleansing campaign against the Rohingya population that led to its largest influx into Bangladesh in 2017, launched a vicious military crackdown on anti-coup protesters, leaving more than 700 dead thus far.
