Bangladesh has a right to defend itself.
The only thing the Bangladeshi government can do is to issue diplomatic protests and temporarily evacuate Bangladeshi citizens living near the border with Myanmar.
The Bangladeshi government is doing the right thing by deporting Myanmar citizens, including Myanmar soldiers who retreat towards Bangladeshi land.
They cant really do anything, Myanmar is fighting a civil war right now. Against like 3 different resistant groups and its quite huge because the Myanmar Government lost many regions. And had many soldiers defect to the resistance.
if it's a person，but it's just a political organization
@@imjustthere9343which means bd can threaten myanmar to stop shootings by the border
@@user-ol8ri4lb7d They really can't, What they going to do mess with Myanmar's internal affairs? If Bangladesh attacked Myanmar, one of the sides is going to take advantage and then you have war from 2 different opponents. And then you will have a war spilled into Bangladesh and then when the people try to flee it will repeat again in India.
Suffering from a war that isn’t even theirs, brutal and tragic Rest in Peace
may allah bless Bangladesh with peace and prosperity
Ameen.
That nonsense hasn’t worked for years!
may allah bless the country of Balochistan with peace, freedom and prosperity
Hope Boluchistan people live peacefully
Where islam is, there will never be peace, religion of war and unrest.

@prestallar4339 o it's warriying
Myanmar people will free soon from military junta regime. Actually ethnic groups of Myanmar are fighting for their freedom since 1948.
What makes you think they want to?
@@samsonsoturian6013 I will answer that as a Myanmar Citizen, the Myanmar Junta is evil and oppressive that's why.
@@samsonsoturian6013
We do not think we are living it.
this time the whole military should be changed from the ground up. Otherwise they would not give up power as we saw.
Yeah man , even UN knew what's going in the country, they don't even take a tiny action!
As a Bangladeshi we highly request to our military to get the proper step and save our people who live in border.
Bangladesh Really kind❤
Sadder still that Bangladesh can not do a thing to the violence spilling to its borders .
we have a large army
@@hasanalam9884We Have Big Army, But We Have Small Ball On Our Crotch
Why?
how much of the border is fenced ?
@@wassuphomies263 Can't be fenced. Only a small area of land rest is a river.
War is Cruel . Hope for peace for people of Myanmar.
Ya Evey war don't that's why I play pubg
I wish all the best for people of Myanmar, hope they can regain their freedom. And for people of Bangladesh too, wish they could live without the fear of war spilling over their lives.
Lol no freedom in Bangladesh 😂common 😂
I don't understand why Bangladesh sheltering this genocide committed soldiers.
As an assamese the journalist's english accent is so relatable 😄
Hahaha you gotta love this guy's character. Nothing will step in the way between him as his reporting. And that's something to admire.
Perhaps you are a Bangladeshi in Assam .😅😅😅
No lmao , u are likely a Bangladeshi
His reporting is excellent
I give him 100 out of 100 for his brilliant explanation in detail to western media
The journalist is a Bangladeshi
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his early successors allocated so much funding to build the Bangladesh military academy piece by piece, now that we have a properly trained army, couldn't we retaliate in self defense and bolster our airspace and border security?
Of course, we can. However, our administration is peace-friendly. They do not want to cast a shadow on our nation's ideals by engaging in war. But we can surely respond forcefully if circumstances warrant, although this indication is uncertain.
@@in_tasin i agree, S.M.R himself said friendly to all, amenity to none. Though we must at least have stronger action and frequent patrols of airspace to prevent further incidents, we must let them know that they are firing on sovereign territory with consequences for any damage done, accidentally or not. We should at least put one of our BAF squadron to fly patrol operations on the border for intelligence so that preventive measures and warnings can be taken early.
@@suhandatanker Yes.
It's kind of despicable that the media covers this conflict so little. Myanmar has like 50x as many people as Gaza, but the media never shuts up about that while reporting this (and other high-population conflict zones like DRC) as an afterthought.
Too many factors, but one is the involvement of -a- _the_ superpower that in turn ripples globally. Then there's talk of religion as well.
Its because US and the West are directly involved in Palestine
It’s because an superpower the US is directly involved in the conflict in Gaza. The military government in Myanmar is not really supported by anyone with most nations simply ignoring the issue honestly if the world sanctioned the military government at the beginning of the coup and forced it to at least hold another election and give up power I doubt Myanmar would be in this situation.
@@Helania12 Journalists aren't supposed to be guided by the priorities of power.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 Well yes but this would be the case if the world runs perfectly but Journalists are still humans that means they also search for what the readers find most interesting and so makes them the most money.

Excellent reporting by all. Very informative. Thanks.

In Sha Allah Bangladesh will be winner. Pray for us 😢
Support people.
The English advisors commentary was actually really well understood of the struggle of the Myanmar people. Accepting the Rohingya back to Myanmar is a small price to pay for peace. But no more Bengalis.
Myanmar’s people pleaded with the international community for assistance after the military coop ousting their democratically elected president, before the violent crackdown by the military on peaceful protesters. Who is at fault for the spillover into Bangladesh?
Cannot understand what that dude is saying half the time.
Peace and hope to the world
Uk seperate whole region for own interest, but people of south asia suffering till today
Are we going to ignore the fact that the Brits were brave enough to explore our planet?
How tf is Britains fault for a miltary taking over it's government?
did Britain stopped them from maintaining peace , the borders are well defined between Bangladesh and Myanmar , its the local Myanmari authority who fails every time
Victim mentality are really run deep huh!
Lol dont act it was peaceful region before the UK come into the picture.
The guy whose mother got killed,........ Really stricken me.. just felt that pain🥺😔😢
This is very traumatising 😢
"Fighting civilians" is a weird distortion. Most of the country is actually run by local militias that may or may not have uniforms and may or may not get along with the national govenrment
Well there are large groups of people who only recently took up arms after the military took over. There are also ethnic militias who have been fighting the government for years. They specifically mentioned the NUG and its forces, in which case the comment is accurate. The National Unity Government forces are mostly made up of the civilian youth of the ethnic majority population in Myanmar that took up arms after their protests were rained down on with bullets by the Junta.
@jedimindtrix2142 the government has more allied militias than enemies and many militias signed ceasefires decades ago
@@samsonsoturian6013 What is your point tho? many youth forced to arm because of Junta. What organization is " national government " for you?
@@samsonsoturian6013 Incorrect. Many of the militias and armed organizations that signed ceasefires broke it after the military coup.The Junta does not have more allied militias than enemies.
Quit blaming the government for their failure to rule@@hhm98
1:10 this part. Just so sad that our government at least not fighting back 😢
Very bad conditions here madam now . I living myanmar 🇲🇲 now
"Sorry can't help". There's no oil in Myanmar.

Bangladesh is part of india...
He's a good reporter but the accent was kind of hard to follow sometimes lol
Freedom for the Anti-Junta and all oppressed people in the region.
India needs to bolster Bangladesh and Myanmar from Chinese influence.
no thank you lol
I agree with you completely. Chinese communist colonized Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, corrupt government, the puppets government.
Keep India independent with all of your effort.

Wtf? No...

Condolences From Pakistan
Bangladesh should help Arakanese to gain independence.
No they're also bad for Bangladesh.
Support and pray for the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) for it's fight against the Junta and the AA
......the war are not meant to end but rather continuous.....
💞
Wtf is wrong on with this world
India and Bangladesh should team up and help the locals. India helped free Bangladesh. Both can now pool resources and help Myanmar.
As India has a lot of investments, this will unfortunately not happen. They will support the junta to the end.
@@farazmasrur
Myanmar is a very complex ethnic/ tribal problem.
January 4, 1948: Burma broke away from more than 60 years of British colonial rule and formally declared the Republic of the Union of Burma, with Shwe Taik as the first President of Burma.
1974-1988: Ne Win promulgates a new constitution, recognizing Rakhine, Chin, Kachin, Karen, Kayah/Karenni, Mon and Shan states as administrative units.
Myanmar is a very diverse country with many ethnic groups, each with their own history, culture, and identity. However, the state has failed to recognize and respect this diversity, and has often tried to impose a dominant ethnic identity on the rest of the population. This has led to resentment, discrimination, and marginalization of ethnic minorities, who have taken up arms to defend their rights and autonomy. The military, which has ruled the country for most of its history, has also exploited ethnic divisions to maintain its power and control over natural resources.
@@farazmasrurif you're Bangladeshi, then your sugar daddy China supports Myanmar military Junta more than India.
@@YourFuhrer1933 China and India is nothing different. They both only focus on profit only no matter how many people killed.

Thank you for covering this widely neglected story.
India have already proposed to fence the india mayanmar border. I think thats all we can do now.
How cruel my country! I feel very sad for him and Even the Military had a killing spree
In the city of Dawei 2021 I heard 18 Gun shots!
Some shelling happened to in the beginning of the war at Thailand Borders. But Thailand quickly warned and sent some fighter jets to the borders
As a Bangladeshi,Manipuri Meiteis also directly or indirectly getting troubles from Mynmar Kuki-zos/Chin -Kukies militans fishing in trouble waters.
Bangladesh Government need to protect their citizens.
I don't understand how can DW recruit and retain a correspondent who doesn't know how to properly speak English, which also hinders his ability to narrate the events to make any meaningful impact of such important reports. I'm pretty sure he can't even speak Bengali properly!
BBC & Al Jazeera also have their correspondents in Bangladesh and saying that, DW has a lot to learn from them when it comes to recruiting the right people for the job. Journalism is not a joke - it's a very serious profession with no room for errors.
It's ur Problem if u can't understand him, also i bet his grammar is better than you.
He is out there reporting and what are you doing? Sitting in your bed commenting 😂
@@angkitmoirang3042 I can get a glimpse of your knowledge of grammer from your comment, and yes, to Indians this guy's accent will sound normal! 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@sadmanrakin yeah he's reporting $#!tbricks which is known by people who ACTUALLY have some knowledge of the conflict and you're eating up his $#!tbrick reporting cause you lack proper understanding of the conflict. Look up and at reports from BBC Bangla for some better idea about how and what's going on.
The reporter from Bangladesh was very good. I understood every word he uttered. Shame on you for criticizing a person doing his job!
Isabel Todd's saying is sounds perfect information. Perfect analysis.
NuG should declare no fly zone over thier control juresdection
So the Bangladeshi military has a boatfull of soldiers to send for UN "peacekeeping" missions ($$$), but not enough of them to protect its own citizens at the border despite the fact there had been battles raging right next door in the last 5 years😅
BD govt doesn't want to escalate the situation, junta will make it an international issue to cover their internal conflict. Both anti govt and govt soldiers flee to BD recently, BD govt safely sent them back to Myanmar.
People just don't have the facts right. Certainly, we can. However, our administration prioritizes peace. They do not wish to compromise our nation's ideals by resorting to war. Nonetheless, we can certainly respond decisively if the situation demands it, although the certainty of such a need remains uncertain.
For the past decade, the Myanmar army has been inciting Bangladesh to join a war. But we believe in peace. So every time it is trying to solve the problem diplomatically avoiding the conflict situation. Moreover, not only in Bangladesh, the same phenomenon is happening in places where powerful countries like China and India have borders with Myanmar
And what are you doing?
Rich countries pay for UN operations. UN pays poor countries per soldier, around 1000-1500 USD per month, for participation in UN peacekeeping operations. Bangladesh pockets the salary difference and uses the UN money to run their country. That's why most UN peacekeepers are soldiers and police officers are deployed from poor countries in South Asia and Africa.
আরাফাত সাহেবের ইংরেজি এত পুওর কেন বুঝলাম না!
They are revolutionary groups that are not rebels but are fighting the Burmese terrorist army
Yes, Myanmar is considered one of the world's poorest countries, with 49.7% of its population living on less than 76 US cents a day in 2023, up from 24.8% in 2017. Poverty is especially prevalent in rural areas, where access to public services like schools and healthcare is poor.
Only if people of mayanmar had stood for their fellow Rohangia.
People of Mayanmar wouldn't had benn suffering
They would. The military Was powerhungry r3gardless
Let me guess, this is just the start for this region.
Why the reporter can't speak English properly ?
international community is eating popcorn
The UN is busy in Gaza affairs
It asean problem, both are member of asean and they have the most power in the region next to China and India. If all 3 local power is not going to do anything why should anyone else bother to care
@@khanhnguyen-tt3ff Bangladesh is not part of ASEAN because it's a South Asian country and not part of South East Asia. Only Myanmar is a member state of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) along with 10 other countries in the South East Asian region.
8:03 Please do not call them rebel, Myanmar of our people in heart they are students and intelligent people that's call them hero of democracy and freedom....the way reports call them rebels that's why Myanmar people's gold to freedom and intelligent are delate 11:41 😢😢😢😢thank you to reporter Elisabeth Todd.
Yes, military junta's days are numbered as there seems no means to pop it up as of now; and the primary cause of its imminent collapse is that junta had started a war on wrong footing of waging a war on the Public for which it is supposed to protect.
And now there is no turning back for the ill fated junta, so it seems.
Love Bangladesh, long live Bangladesh!
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
And no response from bangladesh? what a joke of an army.
India and China are called them friends of Bangladesh. But they are not supporting repatriation of Rohingya refuses for their own benefits. "A friend in need is a friend indeed" - India and China should not forget this proverb.
Neither China nor India have nor any need for "friends". Backstabbing is their specialty.
Do you have any idea how many illegal Rohingyas entered into India? Number of Rohingyas entered illegally into India is much more than your whole Bangladesh population.. these Rohingyas are mostly settled in Delhi , Kashmir and northeast India.. they are completely changing the demographic of northeast India.

So Bangladesh can depot people. But it's xenophobic if you depot a Bangladeshis. What a world. Who knew.
What do you mean? Got context?
As a progressive Hindu from India, I am open to suggestion but I respectfully disagree when people believe that democracy will return in that country without the military regime. Whether we like it or not, the Junta regime is the only thing that is uniting the ethnic rebels. Without it, they will clash among themselves. This is our human nature and I have seen this play throughout our human history and in the continent of Africa. I believe that it is crucial to be realistic and not believe in emotions.
Myanmar is currently the largest producer of opium in the world and most of it is grown in areas inhabited by the PRO-DEMOCRACY REBELS. And every WEEK, our Indian Agencies arrest drug smugglers from Myanmar. A part of their pro-democracy revolution is funded through drug trafficking across the border. Thank God that our New Delhi have ended the FMR( FREE MOVEMENT REGIME) between our two nations. Arms and drug trafficking networks were exploiting the border for decades.
I understand that life is tough in Myanmar but as someone who understands the complexity of the various ethnicities living in the Indo-Myanmar region, I assure you that the civil war in Myanmar will be more complicated without the Junta and any group with more resource than the other will continue to dominate the other.
Opinions may differ but I firmly believe that rampant cultivation and use of opium in Myanmar is the major factor that have led to this present situation. With my country India and China as a neighbor, the people of Myanmar could have had the best of both.
Only the SINCERE and COLLECTIVE EFFORTS of our NEW DELHI and BEIJING will have a SIGNIFICANT impact to end the crisis of Myanmar.
I strongly doubt you are either a "progressive Hindu" or "from India".
As you are promoting the rule of the murderous, dictatorial Myanmar Junta, I'm guessing you may be from China.
Am I about right?
And yes, losing national investments hurts too!

@azwadahsan8549 57 prominent officers were wiped out by RAW so far they've done nothing. Hundreds of innocent honest officers were handed in the name of justice but let the criminal walk freely...
Bangladesh should secure their border with Myanmar by mobilizing its military. India should send peacekeeping forces into Myanmar in large numbers to restore the civilian government and disarm the junta.
Thats not how a UN peacekeeping force
No, the UN has already failed in its mission. That is why a local democratic government with a strong military should take unilateral action.
You mean jump in fire to get hated by entire ethnicity for entering in their country. One way or another foreign intervention will only demonise India's image.
@@TariusphantomThat’s right but the UN and the international community still failed. They should have immediately sanctioned the military government as soon as they overthrew the government and stopped any weapons from going to the military . Myanmar had a lot of problems before the coup but the military made it much worse. The military continues to destabilise the region by trying to desperately hold onto power by the end of the conflict I personally fear that Myanmar will divide into many smaller nations.
