PM's UNGA speech outlines path to peace, reconstruction, Rohingya crisis solution by Prof. Dr. Md Nurul Amin Bepari

 Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's address at the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly has outlined important pathways towards peaceful resolution of global conflicts, state reconstruction, a sustainable solution to the Rohingya crisis, climate change, women's empowerment, equitable water distribution and people's empowerment.


His speech is a rare and historic event for Bangladesh as he became the third member of his family to address the UNGA.

This is a historic event for Bangladesh and a matter of pride for Bangladesh.

Expectations remain high that Tarique Rahman will also advance Bangladesh's leadership at the international level following the footprints of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia.

In his speech he made a call for peaceful resolution to global conflicts, which is very significant in the prevailing international situation. 

Without condemning any particular side by name, the speech placed emphasis on dialogue and discussion as the means of resolving conflicts.

Politics is the strategy to reach a consensus. If different sides sit at the table for dialogue, the distance between them can often be brought closer to a settlement.

The 3-R strategy (Recovery, Restoration and Reconstruction—for state reform and reconstruction) also emerged as an important element of the prime minister's address.

Bangladesh's democratic system, law-and-order situation and various institutional structures have suffered damage over a prolonged period, making recovery and reconstruction necessary. 

The 3-R strategy reflected the need to address these challenges through a structured process of rebuilding the state.

Recovery means restoring lost aspects, while restoration involves recovering lost resources and opportunities and distributing them among the people on the basis of justice. 

Reconstruction, meanwhile, involves rebuilding damaged state institutions, the law-and-order system and other institutional structures.

Politics is the authoritative allocation of values among the people of the country.

In this context, equitable distribution of state resources and opportunities among the people constitute an important part of governing the state.

Regarding the Rohingya crisis, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has conveyed an important message by clearly stating that the safe, dignified and sustainable repatriation of the Rohingyas to Myanmar is the only solution to the crisis.

We have seen the Rohingya issue being raised several times before. 

It was said that the problem would be resolved, but the problem has not been resolved.

The crisis was not created by Bangladesh; rather, Myanmar created the crisis and sent the Rohingyas to Bangladesh. 

Therefore, Myanmar must play the leading role in their repatriation.

International politics has also become intertwined with the Rohingya crisis. 

Due to the roles played by various countries, including China, India and the United States, the issue has now become a broader international concern.

By raising the issue before representatives of different countries of the world at the United Nations General Assembly, Bangladesh’s position has become clearer to the international community.

Those states that are involved in this issue have heard about it. The Prime Minister has put forward a proposal on how this problem can be resolved through the United Nations and indicated that Myanmar itself must take the initiative in this regard.

Due to roles of China, the United States and India, as well as UN Secretary-General, the Rohingya crisis has become a greater international issue.

Various assurances had been given in the past regarding the repatriation of the Rohingyas, but in reality, the process did not move forward. 

The UN Secretary-General had also expressed optimism several years ago about the Rohingyas returning to their homeland, but that expectation was not realised.

Tarique Rahman has raised the issue at the United Nations by taking the right decision at the right time.

Regarding the issue of women’s education and empowerment raised in the Prime Minister’s speech, Bangladesh has a long-standing continuity in women’s development, which progressed through various initiatives from the time of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman to the period of Begum Khaleda Zia.

The Prime Minister has highlighted how women’s education developed from the time of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman through the period of Khaleda Zia, how women gradually progressed, and particularly the issue of women’s empowerment.

Women’s empowerment through education and employment is important. Various types of stipends for female students have also played a role in this regard.

Regarding climate change, it is an extremely important issue for Bangladesh. As a coastal and densely populated country, Bangladesh, along with people in many other countries around the world, could be severely affected by the impacts of climate change. 

By raising the issue at an international forum, the Prime Minister has presented Bangladesh’s risks and concerns before the global community.

The issues of the Padma and Teesta barrages and water sharing were raised in the Prime Minister’s speech.

Bangladesh has long faced problems with its neighbouring country over water sharing. By raising the issue at an international forum like the United Nations, the importance of the problem has been made clear to the global community.

There has been a long-standing problem with a neighbouring country over water sharing, which has not been resolved. 

This issue has now been brought to the attention of the whole world through the United Nations. If this problem is resolved, it will have a positive economic impact on Bangladesh.

Clearly raising nationally important issues at the international level could also reduce the scope for misinformation or misconceptions concerning the country’s armed forces.

The prime minister has raised this issue, which is also important to prevent any misinformation about the armed forces.

The issue of people’s empowerment also received importance in the Prime Minister’s speech.

Education is important for involving people in the country’s development and governance, as well as for developing them into responsible citizens. 

Various initiatives for social protection and financial assistance for children and women could create opportunities to increase people’s socioeconomic participation.

The country belongs to the people. The Prime Minister’s speech also placed emphasis on ensuring that the people can play a special role in empowering themselves in the country.

The speech highlighted Bangladesh’s various interests and concerns in the international arena alongside the country’s internal reconstruction and development.

Shared patterns of persecution make Rohingya and Gaza two sides of same coin

 NST Leader: Shared patterns of persecution make Rohingya and Gaza two sides of same coin

For decades, the world's conscientious majority, Malaysia included, have condemned and sanctioned Israel's occupation, bombing and genocide of Palestine. Yet, similar persecution is occurring in Malaysia's regional backyard: Myanmar's annihilation and displacement of the Rohingya.

This stateless Muslim minority populate Myanmar's Rakhine state, on the country's northwestern coast bordering Bangladesh.

Rohingya and Palestinians share uncanny patterns of persecution and state-sanctioned aggression, contrasted only by historical and political circumstances.

The two groups face severe, systemic crises of massive displacement, widespread destruction of homes and strict restrictions on movement.

Both are devoid of state sovereignty and citizenship, attracting critical international scrutiny.

The outcome is international legal action on alleged genocide and human rights violations before the International Court of Justice.

Still, there are differences: the persecution of the Rohingya is ethnic and citizenship-based on a minority within Myanmar. The 2017 military campaign leading to mass killings and village destruction forced 700,000 Rohingya to seek refuge in Bangladesh. On the flip side, the Palestinian nakbah is intertwined with national conflict over territory, sovereignty, occupation, security and competing claims to self-determination.

Plus, the Palestinian nakbah has geographical dimensions, encompassing Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees and Palestinians who are citizens of Israel.

Yet, the outcome is the same: human suffering, violence, and killings stemming from military interventions.

In Rohingya, the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army are responsible while Israeli state and military actions are central to the Palestinian occupation, displacement and genocide.

While Malaysia has assisted Palestinians through foreign aid and international backing, the Rohingya situation squarely hits home.

Now, Malaysia has called for more global backing to support countries hosting Rohingya refugees. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, in outlining the call in New York, implored for a sustainable solution, including pressing Myanmar to implement the Asean Five-Point Consensus.

He articulated that international assistance to host countries is pertinent, but a sustainable solution must address the root causes of displacement. This means resolving citizenship purgatory and formalising conditions for refugees to return safely, voluntarily and with dignity to Rakhine.

Yet, the broader question would be: how long can the crisis be defined as a refugee problem when its basic antagonism remains? Malaysia and fellow host nations cannot bear indefinitely the financial, humanitarian and social responsibilities of the Rohingya crisis.

In their immediacy, the Rohingya and Palestinians' crises are two sides of the same coin.

CAIR-LA Welcomes Civil Rights Charges for Threats Targeting Muslims Praying at Mosque

 The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA), Southern California’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, today welcomed civil rights and criminal threat charges filed against a 40-year-old man who allegedly hurled slurs and made violent threats toward Muslim community members during evening prayers at a Moorpark mosque.

Deputies with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office responded to the incident and arrested the suspect on suspicion of criminal threats and interfering with or intimidating individuals in the free exercise of their constitutional rights.

 

In a statement, CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush said:

 

"We welcome the swift law enforcement response and the filing of civil rights charges in this alarming incident. No worshiper should ever have to fear for their safety while engaging in peaceful prayer at their place of worship. Bias-motivated harassment and threats strike at the very core of our constitutional rights, and holding perpetrators accountable is essential to keeping our communities safe."

 

CAIR-LA is calling on Muslim community leaders to utilize its current resources to help keep religious facilities safe.

When a European state chose murder as policy


During the Algerian War, a covert network carried out assassinations across Europe and North Africa. Victims were poisoned, bombed, shot, or killed in staged “accidents.” For years, the blame was placed on a mysterious terrorist group called the Red Hand. Decades later, evidence revealed the truth. These killings were directed from within the French state.
