Rohingya

The Rohingya are a stateless Muslim ethnic minority group from Myanmar who have faced persecution and displacement, leading to a large refugee population in neighboring countries like Bangladesh and Malaysia.

Why it’s in the news: They are in the news due to ongoing international efforts, particularly led by Malaysia, to negotiate their repatriation to Myanmar nearly a decade after their mass exodus.
