Rohingya Genocide

That of the Rohingya, in Burma, is the story of one of the most persecuted populations in the world. Originally from Rakhine, a territory of western Burma on the border with Bangladesh, they are Muslim and are not recognized by any country.

The rape and killing of a young Buddhist caused the war leading to the 2012 clashes; the resulting escalation of violence has led to deaths and missing people, as well as the looting and destruction of entire villages.

An ethnic cleansing operation began from the clashes in 2017 with the Burmese army, with a consequent strong migratory wave that involved all neighboring countries. We have collected research and analysis on the tragedy of the "stateless population".

Deaths have been recorded along all the routes, demonstrating once again that if you are in real danger, you will do everything possible to save your family and to give your children a better future. Thus, we cannot ignore violence and abuse, no matter where they occur

The runaway of the Rohingyas

A new case of genocide?

In 1939, ship SS St. Louis, with nearly 1,000 Jews fleeing Nazi Germany on board, was sent back to Europe first by Cuba and then by the United States. The image of that tragedy reminds the travel by sea of the Rohingyas from the situation that the US Holocaust Museum based in Washington did not hesitate to called as genocide.
