The land of rivers is under the massive fire which suddenly erupts in the area near Cox's Bazar, in southern Bangladesh. More than 750,000 Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group, have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh since a campaign of killing, rape, and arson began against them in 2017. Millions of Rohingya refugees fleeing the campaign of violence carried out by Myanmar's military. The Rohingya have been persecuted relentlessly by the Government and mobs of Buddhists, who make up the so-called majority in Myanmar.

Similarly, the fire incident also occurred in 2017, and fire reduced to ashes and flames burned more than 400 houses in Cox's Bazar. Over time, people build more houses and slums in the area, which resulted in the relocation of the slums and people affected by the fire. It is difficult to say how and who is then responsible for the extreme event. However, who is beneficiary from this fire is evident. 

The Government of Bangladesh opened its arms to the millions of Rohingya refugees, belonging to the Muslim ethnic group. As the past knows, Bangladesh welcomed more than 8 lakh refugees and settled them in different camps. In 2017 this camp was established, which occupies an area of more than 6000 acres. More than 50000 people were living before the massive fire in the camp, which is displaced now in the winter chill. The Government put all its efforts to facilitate the refugees and the people who are highly affected by the fire. Bangladesh is eager to begin sending the refugees back to Myanmar, which has a Buddhist majority. However, several attempts at repatriation under a joint agreement have failed because the Rohingya refused to go, fear more violence in a country that denies them fundamental rights, including citizenship.

The Government of Bangladesh has decided to shift more than 1lakh refugees in the Bhasan Char Island. On 4^th December, 2020, a navy ship of Bangladesh carried several people and settled on the island. The Government builds a massive infrastructure on the island, houses, mosques, and farming for the people who suffered from the brutality of the Myanmar army and the International community who are remained silent on the genocide of Rohingya Muslims. Hasina Wazid expends 23.12 billion takas for the refugees in Bhasan Island. Instead of supporting, the international community is showing its concerns regarding the island. The regional powers and western powers do not want Bangladesh would become the economic power of South Asia, the entire media of the west and India blaming the Government of Bangladesh although Bangladesh commenced its all services to the refugees. The point is that when the Muslims were slaughtered and genocide by the Myanmar Buddhist, why the entire international community was silent? When the unfortunate incident of the fire occurred with the same people in Bangladesh, the entire international community rushed at Bangladesh and blamed them for the massive fire. UNO and human rights NGOs' Apathetic behavior seems to destabilize Bangladesh with the influx of migrants and install UNO peace-keeping forces on the borders.

However, several people have died in the fire. The authorities still not found any clue or evidence of the eruption of a massive fire. The damage to life in the camp is irrecoverable. About half of the refugees at the camp were children, who were particularly at risk in the wake of the fire, including some who had been injured and separated from their families. Hospitals and schools were among the structures that went up in flames.

Here I want to conclude my words; The Government of Bangladesh always supports and facilitates the migrants of Myanmar. The international community rushed at Bangladesh but remained silent on the genocide of Rohingyas Muslims in Myanmar. Conspiracies have also existed regarding the eruption of fire. It is challenging to say the reason, but it also seems it is the agenda of international and regional powers to destabilize Bangladesh's economy and progress. UNO's responsibility is to protect and settle the migrants in their homelands and restore the peace in Myanmar. People's migration is a severe post threat to the region's demography and the local destinations culture. Pakistan Government also facilitates and is eager to protect the Rohingya Muslims and support Bangladesh in the cause of humanity and peace.
