The Rohingya Crisis: Escalating Conflict, Humanitarian Breakdown, and Regional Protection Failures
The Center for Rohingya Refugee Crisis Studies (CRCS) has released its Monthly Situation Report for September 2025, providing a comprehensive analysis of the evolving Rohingya crisis across Rakhine State (Myanmar), Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia. The report offers critical insights into the ongoing political escalation, humanitarian collapse, and regional protection challenges affecting Rohingya communities.
During September 2025, armed conflict in northern and central Rakhine intensified significantly as hostilities between the Arakan Army (AA) and the Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) expanded into Rohingya-populated areas. Civilian casualties, forced displacement, and targeted abuses were reported alongside severe restrictions on humanitarian access and communication blackouts. The Rohingya population remains trapped between warring forces, facing systematic persecution and increasing vulnerability.
In Bangladesh, conditions within the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps and Bhasan Char settlement further deteriorated amid deepening funding cuts, rising malnutrition, security incidents, and growing protection risks—particularly for women, youth, and undocumented new arrivals. The shrinking humanitarian space continues to undermine essential services and heightens the risk of social unrest and exploitation.
At the regional level, CRCS observed a renewed surge in irregular maritime movements across the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, with multiple reports of pushbacks, detentions, and refoulement. The absence of a coordinated regional protection framework continues to expose Rohingya refugees to grave human rights violations.
Drawing on field-based monitoring, survivor documentation, and policy analysis, the September 2025 report calls for urgent international engagement to prevent further atrocities, restore humanitarian access, and strengthen accountability mechanisms for crimes committed against the Rohingya people.
