The Rohingya Crisis and the Two-Faced God of Janus

What Lies Ahead

Edited by Kawser Ahmed and Helal Mohiuddin - Contributions by Kawser Ahmed; Rafiqul Islam; Helal Mohiuddin; Muhammad Mazedul Haque; Umme Wara; Abdullah Yusuf; Roberta Dumitriu; Mehdi Chowdhury; Nurul Huda Sakib; Bulbul Siddiqi; Faria Ahmed and Nahreen I. Khan

The Rohingya Crisis is now in its fifth year with no end in sight. While the international community has supported the displaced Rohingyas in Bangladesh by providing humanitarian assistance, what is needed now is to investigate the short-and long-term implications of the crisis from the host country's perspective. Also, it is imperative to examine the current political situation, which was caused by the Myanmar military coup in February 2021. It has cast a dark shadow on the possibility of a negotiated repatriation. In this volume, scholars from Bangladesh and Canada have reflected upon the security situation, the pandemic’s impact on the Rohingyas, inter-group conflict, environmental impact and burden sharing aspects, the informal labor situation, NGO intervention for resilience mapping, and diaspora activities. For both academics and policymakers who work in the fields of conflict resolution and peacebuilding, this book will show how not intervening early in a crisis can have long-term consequences.
