The Rohingyas of Myanmar have been living in different parts of Bangladesh including Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, and Bandarban for long. The government of Myanmar didn't take any step till now to take their citizens back to their country and also Bangladesh is not active regarding this matter. Day by day their(Rohingya's) number is increasing. The Rohingya militants are also gathering on the borders of Bangladesh which is very alarming. Very recently 13 Rohingyas have been arrested from the hills. The government should remain alert and create pressure on Myanmar to take the Rohingyas back in their country. It is a matter of regret that USA recently again called on the government of Bangladesh to open its borders for sheltering the Rohingyas. The US ambassador to Bangladesh Dan Mozena said that the Rohingyas would come here and would return to their country on their own. He further said that the government of Bangladesh has to ensure that they get food and treatment. This statement of the ambassador is very worrying because if the borders remain open, the militant Rohingyas will enter Bangladesh. Besides, as a developing country Bangladesh has various problems including financial problem. Myanmar has to resolve its internal problem. The UN or USA, instead of creating pressure on Bangladesh, should create pressure on Myanmar government so that they solve their internal problem and take back their own citizens.
