Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh: ‘What we’re seeing is simply not good enough’

The leaders of an Australian delegation visiting the world’s largest refugee camp have spoken to FRANCE 24 about the plight of the Rohingya community there. The group, in conjunction with the Refugee Council of Australia, have travelled to the Cox’s Bazar camp in Bangladesh in a bid to raise awareness. It’s been almost eight years since hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled violence in Myanmar, with no prospect of returning home. In Perspective, we spoke to Noor Azizah, herself a former Rohingya refugee, who is now co-executive director of The Rohingya Maiyafuinor Collaborative Network; as well as prominent human rights advocate and former Socceroo (Australian international football) star player Craig Foster.
