Bangladesh must find a comprehensive solution to the Rohingya crisis and work out a ‘cohesive security strategy’ to deal with all the potential threats, says a security analyst.

“Otherwise, the security of the state will be in serious jeopardy,” President of Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPSS) Maj Gen (retd) ANM Muniruzzaman told Dhaka Courier.

Taking advantage of Rohingya crisis and exploiting extremely vulnerable Rohingyas, non-state actors can jeopardise the internal security of Bangladesh, he observed.

“As more Rohingya arrive on a daily basis, there are a number of states and non-state actors that might try to exploit the security situation in this country,” said the expert. In his recent paper ‘Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: Its Multi-Dimensional Implications’ Muniruzzaman made the observation analysing all the security dimensions human security, internal security, transnational security, militancy and terrorism and border security.
