BANGLADESH. Burmese refugees. 1978 

Jean Gaumy 

The Union of Myanmar (formerly Burma) is populated mostly by Burmese inhabitants, but also by several ethnic groups of different languages and religions, who arrived in various immigration streams. In February 1978, the Arakans, one of such ethnic minorities, rebelled against the governement. They where severely repressed and about 200 000 among them ran away to Bangladesh. More ordeals awaited for them in Bangladesh, since the country they chose as a refuge was itself quite poor. The setting up of refugee camps caused a great deal of concern, due to the difficulty of supplying them with food and drinking water. The elderly and the children where the first to die from the lack of food and of essential equipments.
