缅甸的穆斯林与缅孟关系

罗兴加难民是历时甚久的政治冲突的旁观者.1992年,大约25万难民从缅甸的若开邦逃亡到孟加拉国,他们声称缅甸当局践踏人权.遣返工作于当年开始,截至1997年4月止,已有23万人被遣返.然而,1997年年中遣反计划暂停.缅孟双方似乎没有解决难民困境的政治意愿,遣返工作进展非常缓慢.除非迫不得已,否则孟加拉国政府决不情愿给予那些剩余的难民以种族上的平等待遇.2002年12月17-18日缅甸联邦总理丹瑞大将访问孟加拉国,这次访问进一步加强了两国之间的关系.近来缅甸政府表现出希望尽快接回至今仍滞留在孟加拉国难民营里的缅甸公民的意愿.

Myanmar's Moslem and the Relations between Myanmar and Bangladesh

The Rohingya refugees are the by-standers to a long-running political conflict. An estimated 250, 000 refugees from Rakhine state fled Myanmar in 1992, claiming widespread human rights abuses. Repatriation began in 1992 and by April 1997 some 230, 000 refugees had been repatriated. There seems to be little political will to solve their predicament and repatriation of the refugees back to Myanmar progresses at a very slow rate. The government of Bangladesh is reluctant to initiate integration procedures before all other options are exhausted. The relation between Myanmar and Bangladesh was further strengthened by the visit of the Union of Myanmar Prime Minister Senior-General Than Shwe on 17-18 December 2002. Newly the Myanmar government is eager to take back its citizens from the refugee camps in Bangladesh as early as possible.
