Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPSS) and Dhaka Tribune jointly organize monthly roundtable on a contemporary geopolitical issue. The most recent one, held on 22nd May 2022, focused on ‘Revisiting the Rohingya Crisis: What Lies Ahead?’

A panel of experts comprising two distinguished speakers discussed the given topic. Asif Munier, national expert on migration and displacement, and Air Vice Marshal (retd) Mahmud Hussain, distinguished expert at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Aviation and Aerospace University, spoke at the event as panellists. The speakers agreed that Bangladesh will have to remain incessantly engaged bilaterally, regionally and globally to resolve the complex and protracted Rohingya crisis despite the lack of progress over the past few years. They also highlighted the security aspect of the issue as failure to resolve the crisis quickly will have consequences of multiple dimensions, including radicalism. BIPSS Senior Fellow Shafqat Munir moderated the roundtable that was attended by academia, local and foreign diplomats, former and serving government officials, journalists, and university students. Nur Ahmed, Research Officer (Maritime Affairs and Security), represented BIMRAD at the roundtable.
