The only real solution to the Rohingya crisis is a return to their home in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, where they have lived for decades. There are a variety of options available to make that happen.
Since the latest iteration of the genocide of the Rohingya people by the Myanmar military began in August 2017, the Rohingya have faced state-sponsored discrimination, violence, and threats to their ethnic identity.
