Abstract
The Rohingyas are an ethnic minority in Myanmar. The Rohingya crisis has had multifaceted impacts on local, regional and global issues. The conflict in the Rakhine state of Myanmar forced the Rohingyas to flee from their homes. The Rohingyas have been denied human rights, including their right to be citizens. Hostile situations in the Rakhine state forced them to flee from their motherland and seek refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh and other countries, i.e., India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and even faraway Saudi Arabia. This chapter focuses on the Rohingya crisis and how it is impacting different countries. This chapter explores the historical context of the Rohingya conflict and highlight the geo-political, social, cultural, environmental, educational, and economic impacts of this crisis.
