They live in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. Myanmar is a Buddhist-dominated country that does not recognize Rohingyas as citizens. They consider Rohingyas illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, even though they have lived in Myanmar for generations<strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;They have been removed from Myanmar\u2019s census. They are even denied fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">More than 7.30 lakh Rohingya people fled Myanmar to Bangladesh after the military crackdown started in the Rakhine state in 2017. Currently, over a million Rohingya people live in refugee camps of Bangladesh waiting for repatriation to their homeland in the Rakhine province of Myanmar. In making its genocide designation, US investigators talked to more than 1,000 Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh after being displaced by the violence in 2016 or 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\"><strong>By formally declaring a genocide against the Rohingya, the US is firmly acknowledging the scope and horror of the violence.&nbsp;<\/strong>Also, it could put global pressure on the military-led government, which faces accusations at the international court of justice. Myanmar security forces have been accused of mass rapes, killings, and burning thousands of homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
