It has been nine years since the 2017 military campaign against the Rohingya in Myanmar, an event widely characterized by international observers as a genocide. According to recent reports from Al Jazeera, the situation for the Rohingya remains dire, as the violence that triggered the initial mass exodus has not ceased. The ongoing instability continues to force members of the Rohingya community to flee their homes, raising significant questions about the future of the ethnic group within Myanmar.

While the international community has long debated the path toward justice and accountability, the persistence of the conflict suggests that the conditions for a safe return or a stable existence for the Rohingya have not been met. The narrative surrounding the crisis emphasizes a cycle of displacement that has spanned nearly a decade. As the crisis persists, the focus remains on the lack of a sustainable resolution and the continued vulnerability of the Rohingya population. There is currently no consensus among international stakeholders on how to effectively halt the ongoing violence or provide a framework for justice that accounts for the potential absence of the Rohingya from their homeland.
