The Rohingya population, from Myanmar's Rakhine State, are a community almost living entirely in exile, whether in refugee camps in Bangladesh, or working on boats throughout the Indian Ocean. The Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, is now the world's largest. But the Rohingya's struggles began long before the crisis intensified in 2012 and 2017, as noted in Kaamil Ahmed's first book, I Feel No Peace: Rohingya Fleeing Over Seas and Rivers (Hurst, 2023). Kaamil talks to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and beyond to understand how this community has tried to survive years of neglect and at times hostility from the governments and institutions meant to look after them. In this interview, Kaamil and I talk about the Rohingya population, their lives in the refugee camps, and their attempts to make a life for themselves. Kaamil Ahmed is a journalist at The Guardian, covering international development, who previously lived in and reported from Jerusalem, Bangladesh and Turkey. You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of I Feel No Peace. Follow on Twitter at @BookReviewsAsia.

In March of 2022 the U.S. government announced its determination that genocide was committed by the Myanmar military against Rohingya communities in Myanmar's Rakhine State in 2017. What will this mean for the roughly one million Rohingya refugees living in neighboring countries, for Rohingya IDPs in Rakhine State, and for post-coup Myanmar? In this episode Terese Gagnon speaks with Kyaw Zeyar Win about this long-awaited determination. In this conversation we hear from Zeyar about the violent origins of the Rohingya genocide, rooted in the long history of securitization of Rohingya in Myanmar. Terese and Zeyar discuss the possible implications of the genocide determination for Rohingya both within and outside of post-coup Myanmar. Kyaw Zeyar Win is a Project Coordinator at the International Republican Institute in Washington D.C. He is an expert in politics, international relations, and human rights with a focus on Myanmar. He holds a master's in international relations from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University where he was an Open Society Fellow.

It's four years to the day since hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar's Rakhine State began moving into southeastern Bangladesh. They were fleeing a military crackdown that witnesses say included mass killings, torture and rape. The predominantly Muslim minority had long been denied citizenship and had faced decades of repression and discrimination under successive regimes. More than a million are now stateless in refugee camps with no clarity on what their future holds. Guests: Hrusikesh Harichandan Head of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Delegation to Cox's Bazar Maung Zarni Human Rights Activist and Coordinator of the Free Rohingya Coalition Ronan Lee Author of Myanmar's Rohingya Genocide

It's been three years since violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh. Since then home has been the crowded Cox's Bazar refugee camp. BBC Bangla's Shahnewaj Rocky has revisited the camp and met some of the children living there. My Hometown: Samut Prakan We travel to the outskirts of Bangkok with Chaiyot Yongcharoenchai of BBC Thai to sing karaoke with his many, many cousins. Spain's royal soap opera The Spanish royal family has been through a turbulent time with corruption allegations involving former King Juan Carlos, and revelations about his numerous affairs. Juan Carlos recently left Spain to live in the United Arab Emirates. But his wife, Queen Sofia, has remained respected and admired. Mar Pichel of BBC Mundo tells us why.

Although ASEAN has been under fire for its powerlessness in the face of several human rights atrocities such as attacks on Rohingya ethnic minority in Myanmar, internal ASEAN officials, some of whom have lengthy human rights activism experience, remain optimistic that the association can be a force for good. What do they actually see in ASEAN's non-interference and consensus principles? Why do they keep on appeasing the Myanmar Government while violence raged in Myanmar's Rakhine State? Why do member states tend to be more closed off in ASEAN forums than in the UN forum? And more questions.

This week a Thai court convicted 60 people for human trafficking, with victims including Rohingya people. Rohingya are a muslim minority in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, but the Burmese government doesn't recognise them as citizens, and five years ago large numbers began to flee their homes after becoming victims of widespread violence and abuse. Rohmatin Bonasir of BBC Indonesian recently went to Rakhine State, where many of the Rohingya live, to visit an Indonesian funded school there, as well as a refugee camp in Bangladesh.
