Lutfozzaman Babar and Abdus Salam Pintu, ministers in the former Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) government in Bangladesh assisted Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) in its attempt to kill Shieikh Hasina in 2004 and also helped the outfit procure arms for use against India, Abdul Kahar Akand, investigation officer in the grenade attack cases told a Dhaka court, on January 2, reports The Hindu. The investigation officer stated, “Most of their recruits came from Pakistan-(occupied) Kashmir and Bangladesh... They had also mobilised funds, arms and ammunition for insurgents in Kashmir of India.” He further stated that HuJI trained many youths, mainly madrasa (Islamic Seminary) students, how to operate firearms and bombs. Akand asserted that HuJI-B had planned to eliminate Hasina and other Awami League leaders as their government in its 1996-2001 tenure was an “obstacle” in its campaign of “recruiting and training youths as its operatives, and procurement of firearms for fellow militants fighting in India and Afghanistan.” The court granted Akand’s appeal seeking fresh remand for HuJI-B ‘founder’ Sheikh Abdus Salam.

Over 3,500 desperate Rohingyas attempted deadly sea crossings in 39 boats in the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal in 2022, says United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), reports New Age Bangladesh.

At least 348 individuals died or went missing at sea in 2022, making it one of the deadliest years since 2014.

United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced USD 75 million in humanitarian assistance to help the Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar District and help them meeting the ongoing needs that have been exacerbated by the increasing costs of food and fuel, The Daily Star reported on January 26. With this, the US funding for the Rohingyas reached USD 1,975 million since August 2017. With the new funding, USAID will work with the World Food Programme (WFP) to provide critically needed food and nutrition assistance, infrastructure maintenance, disaster risk reduction, and logistics support. The new funding will provide critical and life-saving assistance to nearly 600,000 people. USAID in a statement said, “These programs will target populations residing in 33 refugee camps and 130 sites in the local Bangladeshi community. In addition, through disaster risk reduction programming, WFP will work with the community to maintain and improve public infrastructure within the camps.”

Jama'atul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya posed a bigger security threat than any militant outfit ever did, according to official sources, The Daily Star reports on January 31. Commenting on Jama'atul Ansar's combat training, operational tactics and activities, officers, wishing anonymity, said operatives of the newly emerged militant outfit were highly motivated. Several officers who seized documents during raids on Bandarban hills said the militants followed the code of conduct of Al Qaeda and Islamic State (IS). Their plan was to establish a caliphate in Bangladesh through armed struggle and, if necessary, carry out attacks on key installations and important personalities. Militants' aim was to fight non-muslim people in India, Pakistan and Myanmar, the officials added. To reach their goals, the group recruited young men, took them to the hills, and made them go through rigorous combat training provided by the Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF), an armed group of the Hill Tracts, they added. Jama'atul Ansar has 55 members trained in the use of firearms that include assault rifles. The militant leaders wanted to have 313 trained members, and money was not much of a problem for them because funds came from foreign and local sources. The organisation also owned businesses. The militant outfit owned farm animals in Districts of Munshiganj, Cumilla and the hill tracts area, officials said, adding that it also owned a perfume and garment shop in Dhaka’s Gulistan and a mobile accessories shop in Maghbazar.

According to Cox's Bazar District Police, at least 150 killings have taken place in the Rohingya camp from August 25, 2017, to June 2023, Bangladesh Daily reports on July 12. In 2022, 380 firearms have been recovered and 168 people have been arrested by raiding various camps in Ukhia-Teknaf.

In addition, 29 people have been sent to prison through the court in 18 cases related to the abduction of 136 Rohingya. Sheikh Mohammad Ali, Officer-in-Charge of Ukhia Police Station, said that day by day, some terrorist forces are being formed among the Rohingya community and they are becoming unstoppable, barbaric and uncontrolled to achieve their interests. By capitalizing on the common Rohingya population, they are engaged in a strategy to make their pockets heavier. This situation cannot be allowed to continue for long. Rohingya must return to their country. Peace and order in the region lies in the speedy repatriation of the Rohingyas. Several sources in the camp say that some of Myanmar's armed terrorist forces are directly involved in these crimes. They include the Arakan Salvation Army (ARSA), the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO) and the terrorist Nabi Hussain Bahini.
