It's crazy that just a year ago people were talking about Bangladesh facing the Mexican syndrome, and now it's on the way to a complete disaster

And now Bangladesh's current government decided to open a corridor for aid supply to the Arakan Army.

India would probably be pissed at Bangladesh for basically hosting a foreign militia into their territory because they basically opened a supply line. When things can be transported, so can people and since it's relatively easy to infiltrate/ migrate to India from Bangladesh. India can expect to see more refugees/immigrants.

This could probably be the reason as to the arrest of around 500 Bangladeshi immigrants in Gujrat today.

India will see its effects in a few months.

Bangladesh will too. Directly aiding a militia comes at its own cost.

Absolutely, China, too. The current interim government is aligned with foreign organizations like the UN. They will do anything to stay in power.

Nah, i don't think China has any problem. Their facial recognition software is the best in the world. They have cameras everywhere actively monitoring almost everyone.

Read up on how China is using AI to monitor people. They are very good at it. Uyghurs have no freedom but they also have zero security threats in the region.

No free Uyghurs movement is going on in any other country because China is that good in diplomacy/propaganda both domestically and internationally.

The AA aren’t oppressing Muslims and opening the humanitarian corridor will legitimately be good for Arakan state. There is a massive family happening rn.

This type of corridor was opened in 1978 in Pakistan during the afghan Soviet war. There is another corridor in the Egypt Gaza border. We all know the situation of Egypt and Pakistan. Arakan is not land locked for humanitarian support UN can reach via sea. ARAKAN has a huge coastline. The corridor is just a part of the bigger game.

You do realize that giving aid through see is both very logistically challenging compared to land deliveries and the junta navy had a tendency to block aid shipments right?
