a crack down against the mainly muslim minority. many were killed and raped in what the u. s. recently called a genocide, 5 years on the remainder are still trying to escape on saturday. at least 17 drowned when their boat capsized in bad weather off the coast of mia mars western rac kind state. the un high commissioner for refugees, for legal grande is in bangladesh to discuss helping there were kinda returned to me and more, but talks if stalled, since last year, when me and mars military took power in a coo, grande's his bangladesh student should not be left to shoulder, the burden of looking after the ringer refugees on its own we have the memorandum of understanding with the authorities in myanmar which has recently been extended by the de facto authorities. this is a good sign will continue to engage in order to help create those conditions. but we need to patience. this is why it's so important to continue to support bangladesh while it continues to host almost a 1000000 refugees from younger. well,

i'm here in bangladesh. also to highlight that in spite of the enormous attention and resources that understandably and rightly are put into the response to the ukraine crisis. and before that, you remember, we spoke about afghanistan for months. that's in spite of that, those other crisis, they pair frankly, off the radar screen. and off most of the news, they must not be forgotten. there's a 1000000 people in those camps. and thus, a lot of people and there's a 100000000 refugees and displaced. we have passed up awful mark for the 1st time. since we are recording this figures just a few days ago and all these crises be they here in asia, in africa, in the middle east, in latin america,

they have to have also attention. they cannot be forgotten because people suffer anywhere because of humanitarian crises, whether they ukrainians or other nationalities. and we cannot let the school. all right, let's remind you of how this crisis unfolded. me and mars crackdown began in 2017, in what you and investigators called genocidal intent. more than a 1000000 people were forced to flee to bangladesh in 2018 me and more in bung with as she officials promised to begin safe voluntary repatriation. but nothing has happened yet. in 2020 bangladesh began moving people to the island of bustle, char, as a way to deal with overcrowding in the camps. last december authorities began closing schools in the camps. and in january repatriation talks resumed. but many ringo say it's still not safe to go back. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our guests in cox's was our enroll islam advocacy

manager in bangladesh at the norwegian refugee council. in vancouver, yasmina la, a ro hang a social justice activist and inch last week germany ambia, praveen chair, person of the european bro. hang a council, a warm welcome to you all and thank you so much for joining us today on inside story. yes. mean, let me start with you today. you and i have had a version of this discussion many times in the past. you work very hard to try to raise awareness with regard to the plight of ringo. from your perspective, has the world forgotten about the rank? i believe the world didn't care in the 1st place. i think that there is a miss nowhere. and a lot of miss placement of prioritization when it comes to ranger lives and on the exodus have now lived in the camps for almost 5 years. this is the 5th year. we still haven't figured out a way to treat bringer refugees with kindness and humanities that they actually

deserve. education is still an issue that, you know is, is so contested with in bunkerville, on whether or not a 12 year old could further, you know, pursue their, their educational goals. children are still stuck with curriculum that is just a disaster. and so many schools have been close recently. um, it's almost almost as if the that, you know, wrangle children, 300000 of them actually does not matter in the 1st place. and you know, this is over a plethora of other issues. and that is just further driving ringer into the corner . i think that this, this coming down of your livelihood and am, and the snipping of opportunities for your children very specifically are actually closing in on us and, and making us suffocate. therefore,

we're going to have to find ways to innovate and actually traffic ourselves into other countries, you know, becoming a larger security problem when it's in fact not really a security problem. it is because of the nic light. it is because of the, the misnomer and, and the, the problems of actually prioritizing, you know, where we, where we need to need the me to meet the needs suffering. and the 1st place ambia, jasmine just brought up a very important issue in that that involves education and what a struggle it's been for rowing go refugee chill in to be able to be in, in classrooms whether in, in bangladesh or, or even. and me and why one time i was in the camps and cox's bizarre i was interviewing, running a refugee children who were telling me that the education crisis went back even before the current crisis. that when they were in me and martin rack and state that they couldn't attend schools, that members of the military would not let them get to the schools they were supposed to go to last december and bangladesh. authorities began closing schools

in the camps in cox's was our how much does that were you? how big of a crisis is this? and thank you for having me. and it's a very important question. so, we all know that education is not one basic. it's all ready for human rights and then the one. yeah, i said just right now we were deprived from education there for a hood to continue it's atrocities for many years for many decades because they're going to pay for medication. you know what the rice just isn't just coming back in 2017 over 1000000 a but never they have to

pay for the b c need of education. and, and, you know, the last year from december they have been closing the schools, which were a community based that the teachers and some of them went to do with that. and then i think you can because the know that the, the institution will not be able to move a bother. you should be able to get a 60 percent our, our children out of town are you who are we should be going to the university and

attending school and i do impact the schools. we have to know the name of the, of this and close the login. indignation did in be our, you get to the terminal to the terrorism, to the other issue, which might not only become a threat to the militia, but also li, live in a me and the needy or human right. the should be provided to us. and you know, my other busy necessarily, even part of the way our education. but i mean, we've been to our rights than emerald. i want to get your perspective on this to your group, the norwegian refugee council. there was a statement from them a few months back. it said that since we're hang are not legally recognized as

refugees in bangladesh. they cannot attend traditional schools, formal education remains unreachable for many of the 450000 bro. hang good children and young people in the camps. so let me ask you from your perspective, what options do ro hang a children have right now? thank you so much for having me. and it's an honor to be part of. i want to focus on the, the slightly bigger picture here as well and, and talk a little bit about regional responsibility. because when you look at the rank the community and you look at the state in the regent, you will see rank being turned away, incarcerated, exploited, and forcibly treated in one country after. and you will see, as we saw only this week, drownings, and that's at c as record used for refuge. so when you tell me where to refuse turn, it's not a pretty picture, right? because you're using a community that very little progress. but the responsibility for refugees is regional and it's global. if you look at the funding right now should look at the

response of joint response plan. as of today, if 13 percent funded, that comes out to about $0.30 per refugee per day. we are at the end of me preparing for a long summer of storms and the monsoon season. if you look at where that sunday but has gone too, it's all been protection programming protection programming for some of our partners have been flashed in half. these are programs targeted ad survivors of abuse ad children's ad refugees with disabilities. so it's targeting the most vulnerable of an already valuable community. at a time when go visit and extreme weather events have already left a trail of destruction in dread. so you don't have a pretty picture and cause you have you have what is not attainable situation at all. it requires a lot political will. that is not forthcoming. sadly, emerald, let me, let me just follow up with you for a 2nd. 2 of you know, phillip grandy,

the un high commissioner for refugees. he's been in bangladesh, he's been touring the camps meeting with refugees. he's urging more help for a 1000000 people stuck in camps in bangladesh. from your point of view, what are some immediate steps that that could be taken, that that could, that could alleviate some, some of the suffering that, that could make the situation just a little bit less dire. for one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. i say to sit, i think the interventions did to political up to be very honest because humanitarians cannot solve what we can advocate for it. we can cravat lee and gauge our regional meters, right. but it is honestly an atrocious indictment of regional leaders that entire people and an entire community are unwanted everywhere, as yasamin said. and honestly, we urge and we see each regional leaders to gather the political courage and to end

political things along with human life that i think is what is required in the interim. you have deprivation and dispossession the camps and that will require engaging refugees and the decisions that define their lives that will take community engagement that will take accountability to the effect of communities we work with. and for yazmin, one of the things that i heard most frequently when i started going to the rank a refugee camps, and cox, the bazaar in 2017. i was hearing 1st hand from those who had suffered almost unspeakable atrocities at the hands of me and mars genta an. and they were telling me that what they went through was in their words, a genocide. now it took a while longer before you had, you know, you in investigators say that they believe that the trustees were carried out with genocidal intent. it took longer for certain governments to designate what happened as a genocide. just just in march, the united states declared me in mars,

mass killing of, of there were hunger. to be a genocide. i want to ask you, how significant was it that that designation was made by the us. and is that going to change anything when it, when it comes to trying to get justice for those who suffered so much? if we talk about that the most heinous crimes as humans ever, you know, commit or humans ever come across. it is genocide. and it's important to actually validate victims and survivors in the camps and tell them that actually what you've gone through truly is a genocide. it's the most hideous of crimes that human ever have seen. and at the same time, you know, governments are actually willing very specifically the u. s. government and my own government to me are canadian government, are making a commitment in that sense that they are willing to actually meet the threshold of

what it is that is that their responsibility on. they need to, you know, they, they need to be able to actually pull those responsibilities and actually protect the population and at the same time, furthering, you know, the goals of rehabilitation. however, i have seen that the, the, the words and gestures are made especially, you know, on, on here the humanitarian grounds. but it is not done as in rule is implied. it is not done actually in good faith. it is done to, to just basically silence us for a while with you know, few new developments that actually does not cater to the population. does not cater to the problems that we're facing on the ground without our consultation, without the bill in the participation of the people and, and, and they're expecting that the result will come out, you know, a satisfactory. and this is the problems i think with,

with the humanitarianism in general, that it is not done from the bottom up. it is done from top down. and oftentimes, you know, the needs of the people are not met. and therefore, you know, other problems will actually spill out of it. because education, you know, requirements is not met when it is truly a human rights. such a trial should be able to seek education regardless of what their status maybe and other human security needs should be met. i'm and, and these are just, you know, problems of neglect and, and problems of, of ignorance when it comes to people who are actually working with the writing of people in 1st place. there are so much more of that our people are willing and capable of doing. we've managed to survive these, this genocide for 70 years. we can survive for longer as long as we need to survive . but, but the international community needs to do its part to give us a tool to actually survive on our own. we are going to run into problems of and

dried up funds from the international aid. but all people have been able to manage to survive on their own sufficiently, because we know how to farm, we know how to fish, we know how to actually be crafting and use what we have around us. why not actually amplify those abilities? why not amplify those skills in the camps regardless of how much you want to securitized accounts, just give us those few abilities to actually contribute to the society. so that when we actually do truly go back, we are not just helpless groups of people and we can truly reintegrate right away and become a valued members of society. ambia, we talk a lot about situation. fort ringo. refugees, especially the ones who are in the camps in bangladesh. i want to ask you though, what's the situation like currently for the ringo who are still in me and more. who are in rec, i'd say, what is, what is life like for them? ah, you know, we have very often context in the ground and especially most of my beloved relative

to living in our state. the situation is due to eating before there was an interest of the international community finding out, gauging the government and a meant to find out to help. and almost up recently after the cooper and the prices in the war between the russian create, our people have been promoted and especially in the state, people still went through the cities which is not brought up in the media. and the provisional leisure, which was a posted by the i c j. and still there, these are, these are going on that i, you can see recently and there are we went, we are trying to move the dangerous these to malaysia are too young traveling to

go out. and all this shows that how people are still desperate. how still the people are still in the jurors that need to leave and decided that this 120000. i'm yeah, it's situation. there are no mention on it and they're still living in this one. it comes with all the guys. there is a fictional movement, there is no enough food and they've got enough water is not enough that you know, the situation is really a change, but social media we are unable to bring on the social media, especially the one disengaged the other issues. and unfortunately, i know we have moved up a flight off of one word with to be easy. i going to take time with the i see

with the other do it and got us to great as is my digital life in the media and, and the netherlands, but still need more to do. and the one, yes, one living home, one media in the record you can get so i want them to, to maintain the mental hygiene to a basic. right. you know, and especially for you and you have been frightening, is very want of international community. the only become the most when it will come and the other crisis become there would be maybe a father that does not need a pony applied to the asian countries. or like the listing is known as a like, like the cost me a day,

or people on file and getting the line. and then you're on your own people. what, why i don't want to do with him. roy, i saw you nodding along to a lot of what am b, i was just saying there, and i want to actually get you to, to describe for our viewers a little bit of what life is like in, in the camps right now. i mean, i spent a lot of time reporting from those camps and cox's bizarre to this day. it's still hard for me to try to describe just how dire the situation was, what, what i witnessed. and that was several years ago. give us a snapshot of what life is like and what is it that the day to day challenges for the refugees and it's stagnant, i think. but the one image that i was recalling as i was hearing i'm beyond just mean speak is if you go to the cancer in tech class i was white hailey, but as you approached the camps,

you'll see the hills of rock. it's that close up and it truly must fi. this is not something i have ever experienced, but it truly must be tortures to be that close to home. and yet be so incredibly far away. right? so life in the camps. but from what we hear from the refugees and communities, we work with organizations and individuals. we work with, there's hope is scarce, right, opportunities scarcer, bob, look durango, want the same things you and me want and everyone else wants, right? they want a future for themselves and a future for their children. they just want a fair shot. and that i think is, is, has been denied to their anger for, for a very, very long time. yes. mean we just have a couple of minutes left and as somebody who is always trying to ensure that the rowing go get the attention that they deserve and, and that they get the justice that, that, that they deserve. um, how,

how do you keep going? how do you keep that hope alive when you see that the international community continues to look away when you see that it seems to get harder and harder for the plight of the ringo to, to stay in the headlines to be written about to be reported on what do you do in order to, to keep that fire going and to try to ensure that those stories are still told? i know that my people have been strong capable, resilient, and ah, they are willing to actually put up a fight to actually continue to live, survive and contribute to this world. there are so many we get, i asked for like doctor and the, and many of my colleagues who have the opportunity. i'm on the outside working hard to actually ensure that our people's voices are heard and amplify them. these are

the group of people who should actually become examples of what is possible for ringer refugees. and for those who are actually stuck in precursor conditions around the world before they resettle that, you know, these are the people were actually able to do things there. now contributing members of the society around the world, they're doing so much work for their own community and, and, and the communities around them. this is the group of people we need to actually look at as inspiration on how to freak writing on how to actually open up doors for us. now, i hold dear my community in our capacity in our work to actually continue to survive. but also we have which histories were actually not destitute. people. we don't look like this. we don't always constantly asked for the world to help us. we're only asking for initial funds, initial tools to actually get us going. we are capable, more than capable of doing this work ourselves. you just have to listen to us on

what we actually need in order for you to do in order for us to actually be lifted enough to continue to support ourselves on in the long term. well, i certainly wish we could keep the conversation going, but we have run out of time, so we're gonna have to leave it there. thanks so much. all of our guests in rural islam. jasmine along and ambia proven. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com, and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at e. j in sad story from him. how much i'm doing the whole thing here. and uh huh. bye for now. for over a century american parents have entrusted their sons to the boy scouts of america, hoping they would gain skills that would improve their lives. instead,
