Topic: Rohingya boys are involved in misdeeds by joining various groups due to lack of proper education and activities.
Translation summary: There has been a clash between two Rohingya groups for establishing dominance in Noyapara Rohingya camp causing the death of a Rohingya youth on 14th March 2021. Parents are blaming lack of education and other activities forced them to join those illegal groups. Mohammad Shafik, who is living in Kutupalong camp 3 shared with VOA why youths are heading to the wrong path. He said, “Rohingyas do not have education facilities, employment and other activities in the camp. They are only dependent on the ration. There is no other extra income to manage their needs. Some bad people target youths offering money and use them for the dominance in the camp.
If Government of Bangladesh provide proper education, vocational training and other activities youths might not divert into that wrong path”.
