... To escape persecution, the Rohingya refugees migrated to Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, among other countries in South and Southeast Asia. Rakhine State received the highest number because it is bordered by Bangladesh (Habib et al., 2018). Indonesia is also one of the migration destinations for Rohingya refugees, because they feel they have a common background as a Muslims, so Rohingya flock to Indonesia. ...
The Rohingya refugee crisis has garnered global attention, eliciting both pros and cons to the dispersion of Rohingya refugees across different nations. The purpose of this This research is to analyzes the pros and cons of the Rohingya refugee situation and its implications for religion, humanity, society, and the economy. The research method uses qualitative descriptive analysis included in the literature review, which takes secondary data from sources such as the Immigration Detention Center, UNHCR, and IOM. The research result show four main backgrounds to the Rohingya crisis: religious , humanitarian, social, and economic. The study identifies numerous hoaxes and hate speech targeting the Rohingya, causing societal polarization and the disruption of social harmony. The same of religion and human values becomes the primary reason to assist Rohingya refugees.

From a social and economic perspective, helping the Rohingya refugees is an effort to prevent human trafficking transactions. However, it has the potential to cause social jealousy.

Bangladesh has shown a great level of generosity by opening its door for the Rohingya ethnic minority, which is sadly lacking in many parts of the world, including in this particular region of South Asia. Bangladesh hosts nearly 1.1 million Rohingyas who have fled the persecution in Myanmar. Among these, the majority took shelter in the last few years of massive oppression directed by the Myanmar military forces. Further, they live in cruel conditions in the camps and need severe help. The fate of the Rohingya refugees in the camps of Cox’s Bazar is insecure and uncertain. This article aims at highlighting the two most critical issues about the Rohingya crisis, which are: one of the most critical aspects of the crisis ‘the repatriation process’, which did not come into sight until now, and the delay of the repatriation process, which add another new dimension in this crisis ‘Bangladesh’s plan to relocate 100,000 Rohingyas in an island called Bhashan Char’.
The paper aims to reveal the underlying causes behind the recent Rohingya conflict. The paper argues that, instead of only focusing on the ethnic and religious dimensions of the Rohingya conflict, the geopolitical economic dimension of the conflict also needs to be addressed properly. The conflict has a long history and it occurred in different political and economic conditions. From this angle, this research analyses the recent Rohingya conflict from the perspective of the geopolitical economy of resources. It examines the role and activities of the Government of Myanmar (GoM) and military force concerning the recent conflict. Besides, this paper also examines the geopolitical economic interests of China and India in Rakhine state with regards to their unwillingness to stop the conflict. In this study, secondary sources such as books, academic articles, reports of government and non-government organisations and the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) database have mainly been used for data collection, which is based on textual analysis. The paper applies the concept of Resource, Resource curse and Resource war along with the analytical framework of 'Vulnerability, Risk and Opportunity' by Philippe Le Billon as a tool to explain and analyse the conflict. The research shows that the recent violent conflicts which forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands of the Rohingyas from their houses and destroyed many Rohingya villages in Rakhine state have a possible connection with the resources and economic opportunities that are present in the Rakhine state. There is a strong possibility that the resource and economic opportunities influence the GoM and military force to become involved in this conflict. Also, the resource and economic opportunities might prevent China and India from playing an active role to stop the conflict. The Rohingya crisis has been going on for decades, yet it has not been solved. Also, there is no sign of solving the crisis soon. The geopolitical economic perspective of the conflict might be the answer as to why the Rohingya crisis has not yet been resolved.
