Myanmar's Rohingya people are an ethnic minority. Being denied their right to citizenship, thousands of Rohingyas have entered Bangladesh. This situation creates pressure on its scarce resources. Bangladesh allowed the Rohingya floods due to humanitarian grounds and provided them with temporary shelters and other assistance. However, now it has become a burden on its massive population as some Rohingya refugee organizations rely on drugs and arms trafficking for funding. In contrast, others have close ties to different extremist groups. Due to its significant effects, there are valid reasons to consider it a security risk for Bangladesh. This article explains that the Rohingya crisis potentially threatens Bangladesh's internal security stability. It also shows that the repatriation of Rohingyas to Myanmar can provide a permanent solution to these problems.
