Hundreds of Rohingya refugees gathered in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, on Monday to demand justice and the right to return to their homes nine years after a genocide was committed against them, coinciding with the ninth anniversary of the atrocities. The protesters are calling for accountability from the Myanmar government and international organizations for failing to protect them during the 2017 violence. The Rohingya community has been living in temporary settlements in Bangladesh since then, awaiting a resolution to their long-standing dispute over citizenship and repatriation. The protests mark a renewed push for justice and recognition of the Rohingya's rights nine years after the devastating events.
