Feels like we, the people all over the world, live in a fool’s paradise after seeing the press statement of the Myanmar Foreign Ministry, which has reportedly labelled 4,241 Rohingya living in Bangladesh camps as “terrorists”. The claim is being presented as a statement of fact. It is not. It’s a propaganda weapon, and as Bangladeshis who have watched this crisis unfold since 2017, we see it for what it is: an attempt to criminalize an entire persecuted community and erase the truth of Myanmar’s atrocities. The timing is telling. Bangladesh has repeatedly asked Myanmar to take back its populations under the 2017 bilateral repatriation agreement. Every bilateral meeting has stalled not because Bangladesh refused, but because Myanmar has delayed and refused to create the conditions for a safe, dignified, voluntary return. Now, instead of engaging with repatriation, Myanmar is issuing a new smear list. This is not diplomacy; it is deflection.
