Over 100 homes and shops have been burned in attacks on indigenous communities in Khagrachari.

Reports indicate casualties ranging from 3 to 79, with accusations against Muslim settlers and the Bangladesh Army.

The situation has sparked calls for international attention to protect minority populations in the region.

In Bangladesh, indigenous communities, including Hindu and Buddhist Chakma and Jummo people, are facing severe violence in the Khagrachari and Dighinala areas of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Recent reports confirm that over 100 homes and shops have been set ablaze, with casualty figures ranging from 3 to as many as 79 deaths. The attacks, characterized by arson and looting, are allegedly perpetrated by Muslim settlers from the plains.

Critics are raising alarms about the Bangladesh Army's inaction, suggesting not only a failure to intervene but possible support for the assailants. This has led to widespread calls for international attention and intervention to protect these minority indigenous populations from ongoing violence and displacement.

The attacks have sparked discussions around the systematic efforts to alter the demographic composition of the region, with accusations of genocidal actions against the indigenous people. The violence has ignited a sense of urgency for global advocacy and action to ensure the safety and rights of these communities.

As the situation unfolds, it remains crucial for local and international bodies to address the rising tensions and take steps to protect the vulnerable populations facing such egregious threats to their existence and heritage.
