In a stunning and deeply troubling move, the Myanmar government has officially declared the Ambassador of Bangladesh as Persona Non Grata — a term used in diplomacy to mark a foreign envoy as unwelcome in the host country.
This escalation signals a severe breakdown in trust between the two neighboring states.
🔻 According to experts, the fallout stems from:
Ongoing tensions in the border regions
Cross-border activities by the Arakan Army and other rebel factions
Bangladesh’s firm stance on the Rohingya crisis
In response, Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the action as “unwarranted and regrettable,” affirming its continued commitment to peaceful and cooperative relations.
However, Dhaka also warned that such aggressive behavior from Myanmar could undermine regional stability.
🔺 This isn’t just a diplomatic spat — it has real-world consequences:
📍 Border security at risk
📍 Rohingya refugee crisis deepening
📍 Regional trade and cooperation jeopardized
As tensions rise, the question remains: Is Myanmar pushing the region toward a new crisis?
