The Rohingya people are in fact Bengali Muslim from Chittagong region. Most of Rohingya Bengali people may not be born in Bangladesh but they are still descendants of Bangladeshi citizens.
Burma has resettled 1600 Rakhine, Chakma and Marma families from Chittagong Hill Tracts in 2016 alone. They have fled their native Chittagong Hill Tracts for fear of threatening to their life and attacked by Bangladeshi soldiers back Bengali Muslims and looted their fertile lands and village from them.
The Burmese Government unofficially recognized the peoples from Chittagong Hill Tracts and Manipur as its former citizens and looking after them when they have fled CHT to Rakhine State, Burma.
Bangladeshi must take care of their former citizens and their children from Rakhine, State. They are still Bangladeshi Citizen because they have never been officially left Bangladesh and they illegal immigrants in Rakhine State, Burma.
