Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus has voiced deep concern over the prolonged Rohingya crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Speaking at the UN General Assembly, he said: “Even after eight years, Rohingyas continue to face persecution and denial of rights in Rakhine, creating a dangerous situation for the entire region.” He called for an immediate end to Myanmar’s discriminatory, identity-based policies and stressed that a lasting solution lies in a political settlement ensuring citizenship and equal rights for Rohingyas, alongside inclusion of all ethnic groups in Myanmar. Highlighting the funding crisis, Yunus cited WFP warnings that without emergency aid, monthly food rations for Rohingyas may be slashed to just $6 per person. “This will worsen hunger and malnutrition and could force desperate actions,” he cautioned.
