Rohingyas should be citizens or be given their own state: Mahathir

[MD hosain]

Friendly suggestion, stay right out of it mate. At least militarily. Focus on your economy. You are doing good.

We are staying out of it but for how long we can maintain our patience remains to be seen. Patience has its limits beyond which one will risk any self respect.

I am telling them to learn from India experience. Getting involved in Sri Lanka was a huge mistake and Pakistan's involvement in Kashmir and Afghanistan has also led to some very unhappy consequences for them. It was just a friendly suggestion so that Bangladeshis can avoid getting into such situations and focus on their economy. Anyway, it is just a suggestion and you have a right to disagree. Not like the Bangladeshi policy makers are listening to anyone here on this web site anyway.



Hmmm. Let's see. Such things are never that simple.

I agree we shouldn't actively intervene by supporting any belligerent factions but definitely we must continue to invoke the UN to take legal actions against the tyrannical Myanmar regime.

This is exactly the correct approach IMO.

No, they cannot as BD is immensely stronger economically.

Currently BD GDP is 4 times that of Myanmar and it will get to 5 times by 2030 if current growth for both countries hold.

BD can take Northern Arakan and use the threat of massive retaliation if the savages do not accept this.

Fantasies, When America the great couldnt conquer vietnam, irag, afghanistan. It will be a tragedy that destroys both the countries and send them back by a century. And nothing will resolve. See Kashmir, 70 years, nothing gained.

Dude I am talking about annexing a small neighbouring land that was populated by Rohingyas.
Please think before posting.

Do you think annexing isnt equal to waging war ? you sharing a pie or something. The country will never let it happen and would throw all its power. You are the one who is thinking naively before saying stuff like annexing.

 

[prashantazazel]

If the Rohingyas are willing to live under secular law, maybe Myanmar can allow them to stay on the land they currently are. They ones who aren't willing to integrate should move to friendly countries like Malaysia.

 

[UKBengali]

If only Myanmar decided to change their constitution toward Federal States, but the issue is willingness of Myanmar gov. to open the dialogue and Bangladesh to stay out of internal matter of Myanmar

Dudette...

How is pushing more than 1.1 million of your Rohingya population into BD an "internal matter"?

BD will simply impose the settlement that is favourable to it on the savages in the end.

Tiny countries cannot wage war against a much larger country.

Myanmar will be totally destroyed if it does not accept BD annexation of Northern Arakhan.

Just because you Indians cannot impose your will against seven times smaller Pakistan does not mean that BD will also be failure like you against Myanmar.

Rohingyas are even willing to live under a 'Buddhist republic of Myanmar' granted Buddhism is not enforced upon them. Where did you get the information that they do not want to live under secular law? They just want to live in their ancestral land with citizenship and legal rights of a citizen which myanmar denies them. Seems like you fully believe the hindutva propaganda circulated in India that, Rohingya problem is all about Muslim extremist do not want to live under secular law and want a 'caliphate' in Myanmar. But this is totally false and malicious. They are denied the most basic of human rights like citizenship, access to education, access to health care, freedom of movement, freely marrying within their community, protection from arbitrary arrest, torture and killing by the burmese soldiers. Even under such a serious repression for decades , very few Rohingyas joined any armed group. Rohingyas were citizen of myanmar before 1982, But in 1982, military junta made them stateless,not only that, junta forfeited their rights to live in their ancestral villages and started severe repression with the aim of driving them out. This is heart of the problem.

Note that most of the propaganda and fabricated materials like such as "Mughalistan" are produced by Indians. You won't see BD or Pakistan producing deliberate propaganda material to fool their masses into thinking there will be some massive Islamic domination.

Rohingyas don't want to be Myanmar nationals to begin with, they wanted to be Pakistanis since 1947, and they now want an Islamic Rohingyastan.

BD needs to annex the land.

Yeah..lol...teeny weeny Bangladesh wants to fight a war! This forum remained a delusions galore! Don't lose Chittagong to Myanmar in that delusional quest.

Yes, this is how the Rohingya issue can be solved. After all, Mahathir is a great politician unlike that idiot who leads India.

Those who lead India also rule Bangladesh with proxy, you just don't know it yet.

Rohingyastan? Seems like internet hindus are fond of inventing mythical country name by mixing gao mutra with gobar ka halua in their brain very often.

I agree on the part that it seems simple, while it is not as all these moves have unintended consequences. Bangladesh can do limited skirmishes, but getting involved at this stage to occupy would be a very very bad idea.

No, they cannot as BD is immensely stronger economically.

Currently BD GDP is 4 times that of Myanmar and it will get to 5 times by 2030 if current growth for both countries hold.

BD can take Northern Arakan and use the threat of massive retaliation if the savages do not accept this.

I would suggest to create PR Teams and Diplomatic Task Force to focus only on the Rohingya issue to create maximum pressure.

If India wasn't able to impose it's will against Pakistan, you wouldn't have a country today.
