Five years have passed since the Rohingya people had undergone the ferocious campaign of genocide launched by the Myanmar government. More than 1.2 million people including women and children have been compelled to flee their homes leaving every penny of their belongings. As a neighbour country and more significantly, as a peace-fostering country, showing homage to international norms and principles, Bangladesh wholeheartedly opened the border, not resisting them from entering the country.
