Resolving the Rohingya crisis
Does the OIC call go far enough?
The OIC in its 10-point communique at the end of the extraordinary session of its Council of Foreign Ministers in Kuala Lumpur on the Rohingya crisis on Thursday has called upon the government of Myanmar to, among other things, stop its repression on the Rohingyas and restore their citizenship that is being denied to them by bringing in changes to its reprehensible citizenship law of 1982.
These are, we are afraid, in most parts repetition of the calls made by various countries from time to time since the renewal of violence against the Rohingyas in the Rakhine State about three months ago. Regrettably, nothing has been able to compel the government in Naypyidaw to stop its repression on the Muslim minority group. Not even the UN Human Rights envoy to that country has been allowed to visit the affected areas.
We feel that the OIC call is not enough. It must formulate plans for substantive actions, should the government of Myanmar chose not to heed the call. The rest of the world should be involved and certainly the UN cannot remain aloof as it has with little more than sporadic comments on the issue.
The Special OIC envoy to Myanmar has called on the UN to intervene before a Rwanda is repeated there. The world should take heed of the portents that such statements depict. It has stood aloof for too long from the miseries of the Rohingyas in Myanmar, who virtually has been made stateless in its own country, and may well cease to exist should the international community continue to display the abject apathy towards them that it has shown so far.

Change of guard in Washington
Trump must rise above his prejudices
Donald John Trump was sworn in yesterday as the 45th president of the United States of America. His victory was as surprising as unexpected. And we hope the next four years under his watch would be less so. His post-election articulations had given rise to questions aplenty around the world. Will he govern the way he campaigned? Will he present himself as an inclusive leader, as he promised on election night, or will he continue to play into the hands of xenophobes and be driven by extremely parochial views? Will it put the current world order at stake?
President Trump needs to articulate a detailed foreign policy vision beyond the vague slogan “America First” in order to address the immediate and complex challenges the world faces today: North Korea, the Middle East and Israel's hostile policies toward Palestine, among others, and how his administration would manage relations with allies in Asia and Europe and NATO members. On the campaign trail, he promised to recognise Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel - a move that would upend decades of US policy of a two state solution.
On the bilateral plane we would like to see the friendly relationship between Bangladesh and the US become stronger to the benefits of the people of the two countries. We sincerely hope that President Trump does not follow through with his campaign promise of imposing a border tax between 35 to 45 percent on imported goods, something that could have a far-reaching effect on our garment sector, not to speak of the burden on the American consumers. We would welcome restoring the GSP facilities to Bangladesh.
As the head of the most powerful country, President Trump would have to rise above his prejudices and be equal to the dignity, poise and esteem that his office commands.
