Although they are doing better than previously, the Rohingya’s prolonged presence in Bangladesh as refugees poses risks to both Bangladesh and the Rohingya. Bangladesh is a small but densely populated country, and as a result of its high population, the law and order situation there is deteriorating. However, it is also having a negative impact on the environment. Their issue needs to be resolved right now because of this. Their issues can only be solved via therapy.
