Gen-Z activists in Dhaka organized a rally titled “March for Arakan” demanding an independent homeland for Rohingyas. The march, held on International Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day, began at Shahbagh and ended at the Central Shaheed Minar under the banner of Bangladesh People’s Coalition for Rohingya Rights. Rohingya youth Ahnaf Alam recounted the long history of persecution faced by his people, saying, “Despite centuries of presence in Arakan, our very existence is being erased. Misconceptions and hostility towards us must end.” Spokesperson Shahriar Fahad presented an eight-point demand for Rohingya liberation and independence of Arakan.
