The tension between Myanmar and Bangladesh is increasing because of the Rohingya crisis. Last month another wave of Rohingya came from Myanmar due the persecution they confronted in where they consider as their home.

This stateless Muslim minority stayed in a region of Myanmar (Rakhine) since hundreds of years now, but they are considered immigrants by the Buddhist-majority country. The issue that comes hand by hand with the persecutions of this minority has provoked the intercession of the United Nations, which talked about the dispute making an allegation and literally that it seemed "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing", forcing the Myanmar ambassador’s Htin Lynn defend the posture of his country by saying that the use of “ethnic cleansing” it’s too hard for what it really is.

The truth it’s that those continued waves of refugees are still coming to Bangladesh which they are receiving them, but because of the huge amount of people that is moving to the country it’s also making them endure hardships. Bangladesh in this moment it’s needed of food and medical help for those arriving from Myanmar.

The reason why I decided to choose this article it’s because of among the huge amount of news related to the Myanmar issue this one explains perfectly, not only the situation in that moment but also, the hardships that the Rohingyas went through since back the 1970s.
