@AtheistSweden Bengalis will eventually be the majority in CHT a decade’s time. Fuck the peace treaty with those chinky-motherfuckers. We will burn down their villages, kill their men folks and molest their women and ethnically cleanse CHT... hopefully thats will be the end of the story!

@jalalimastan Or why don't Muslims in the CHT just f**k off; at the time of the partition of India in August, 1947 non MusIims constituted 98.5% of the population of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, now it is merely 50%, talk about Muslim colonization! The area of CHT should have gained independence from Bangladesh, just like Bangladesh itself! But hey; it is never too late; FREE CHITTAGONG HILL TRACTS!

If they are real refuge why they are not bringing their wive and kids This is not about political conflict This is about population bombing in Bangladish. This government is creating this problem . They build the refuge camp near the border and drive all homeless people in to the camp and show off to the media. UN also have responsible to encourage this country to start using the birth control. They should have further action to stop people smuggling. How much did you pay money to get in to Thai
