After the attack on some security guards of Rakhine on August 25, 2017, the Myanmar army strengthened the pre-planned and structured violence. Anti-terrorism begins in the name of correctness campaign. The crimes against humanity are being carried out consistently with murder and rape. In such a situation, Rakhine is forced to flee to Bangladesh, and around seven and a half thousand Rohingya are forced to flee. The number of Rohingyas who took shelter in Bangladesh with the Rohingyas already present stands at around ten lakhs. These Rohingya are living in different refuge camps of Bangladesh.
