Discussion
The Rohingya crisis has been making news lately. Consider the following statements about the Rohingyas :
1. They are an ethnic group largely comprising Muslims who predominantly live in western Myanmar province of Rakhine.
2. All the Rohingyas are full citizens of Myanmar.
3. According to UN, the Rohingya crisis is majorly a result of ethnic cleansing being done by the Myanmar State.
Which of the above statements are correct ?
Answer: C
Statements 1 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1 and 3 only.
The Rohingya are a mainly Muslim ethnic minority who lived chiefly in Rakhine State in western Myanmar (1). After the military operations that began in August 2017 drove more than 700,000 of them into Bangladesh, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called the situation a textbook example of ethnic cleansing, and later UN investigators described it in similar terms (3).
Statement 2 is false. Myanmar's 1982 Citizenship Law does not list the Rohingya among the recognised national races, so most of them are stateless and are not full citizens. Any option containing 2 is wrong.
