Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL) Sheikh Mohammed al-Issa inaugurated an Integrated Services Center for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, stressing the importance of establishing the center as soon as possible. Issa explained that the center will provide a small community for Rohingya refugees with social facilities offering basic education, vocational training and primary health care. The Sec-Gen praised the strenuous efforts exerted by the International Association for Relief, Care and Development in preparation for planning the establishment of the Rohingya refugee services center. He also reviewed a visual report on the utilities and integrated services of the center, confirming that MWL was keen on supporting and relieving Rohingya displaced people who have suffered from brutality by racist terrorism. MWL addressed the international community in a previous statement, according to Issa, slamming the atrocities suffered by Rohingya in Myanmar from brutal attacks and genocide. “This disturbing historical chapter in the humanitarian and international record will be a witness to the magnitude of the failure to stop certain massacres and crimes of hatred,” Issa stated, adding that these crimes are “one of the worst brutal and bloody terrorist images, which are no less than the terrorism and crimes of terrorist organizations around the world, such as ISIS.” Silence in the face of such brutal crimes is silence in the face of truth and this gives strong pretexts of the negative concepts on the weakness of the international justice system and its will to fight and eradicate terrorism, asserted the secretary-general. Issa said that MWL is focusing on the economic empowerment of refugees to help them be productive and self-sufficient in their own environments, and thus achieve sustainable development, which ultimately is the main aim of the Leagues humanitarian work. The secretary-general highlighted the importance of raising the health awareness of the Rohingya by focusing on and addressing the personal needs of women and their psychological and health requirements, in addition to providing personal health requirements for the rest of the family. Furthermore, he noted that these efforts should help mitigate the impact of physical and psychological violence suffered by Rohingya refugees, through specialized psychological and reunion programs, that take care of orphans, widows, and other specialized programs.
