I hope BD do not do something as stupid as promoting Jihad - Pakistan style in a neighboring country by using BD right wingers as the non state actors / organizers. We all know how fabulously successful that can be. It will be a problem for the entire region.
Mate, whatever BD does - an armed struggle for the Rohingyas would be the last resort after all diplomatic options have exhausted. And of-course, BD must be prepared for war.
Su Kyi did actually speak with Muslim leaders last week.
Suu Kyi Embarks on Europe Trip
Bangladesh pursues a multinational foreign policy. We are nobody's
dalal. And we have amicable relations even with Junta-run Myanmar. This is in light of the flood of Rohingya refugees who landed in Bangladesh ever since 1978 (yeah that is a long time).
Myanmar now is pretty much lawless, and they don't even have a functional judiciary. I'd say it is pretty normal for a country that has been under military rule with little contact with the outside world for half a century. And now, it is precariously and slowly heading to democracy. Ethnic heals will take a lot of time, and that process is going very, very slowly.
There's still a lot of fighting in the north of the country (Christian minority). I really wonder who's funding them...
And interestingly, General Aung (Suu Kyi's father), did offer full rights to Rohingyas before he was assassinated. Along with other leaders, including key Rohingya leaders supporting him.
Rohingya tangled in Burma citizenship politics
General Aung's assassination was not only a blow to the Rohingyas, but to the entire country. It's just that the Rohingyas were hit harder since they are neither ethnic Burmese or Buddhist.
Suu Kyi only has few seats in parliament, and still dominated by the old regime. So, she has very little say on matters right now. I also worry about her health too. Twenty years of house arrest certainly takes a toll on a person's health.
Rohingya's integration into the democratization process will take time, a long time. If the whole thing fails, a possible armed insurgency can be considered, with multinational support. Not just a bunch of gun-trotting Jihadis. I mean, you guys also host Rohingya refugees. Are you willing to bear the brunt forever?
Taking into account of all ethnic and religious groups into the democratization process is extremely important for regional stability. If that fails, both your's and mine's future interests in Myanmar are screwed. It'll not help in regional stability at all.
UN backed troops is another option. And less riskier.
Just saying, keep all options open.
