World Must Remain Engaged For Rohingya Solution: Miyavi

Japanese singer Miyavi has said every single country needs to get involved in a conclusive way to end Rohingya crisis and give Rohingya people a safe and bright future.

“This is not a local issue. This is global issue. Every single country needs to get involved to have a permanent solution to the crisis,” the Japanese musician told Dhaka Courier.

Since August 25, 2017 an estimated 688,000 Rohingya have crossed into Bangladesh fleeing violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, increasing the total Rohingya population in Cox’s Bazar to over a million.

Born in 1981, Takamasa Ishihara, better known by his stage name Miyavi, is a singer songwriter, guitarist, record producer, and actor.
