Future of Democracy in Myanmar: Plight of Rohingya Community

Representatives of the Rohingya community participated from different Islamic countries in the recent conference.

In his opening remarks, Arsalan Ayaz explained that the Rohingya were not part of the election process as they were disenfranchised from participation in the election, not only denying their right to vote, but also to contest the election.

He further explained the outlook for Rohingya in the context of the new government of Aung San Suu Kyi’s NLD, if the military hands over the power smoothly. He emphasized that Rohingya people are careful not to weigh in from any angle on the new government due to the complexity of the political landscape in Myanmar and the existence of radical extremist elements in the NLD.
