DHAKA — Four Rohingya refugees were fishing early in the morning near the border at Cox’s Bazar in southern Bangladesh earlier this month when they were abducted by members of the Arakan Army, Myanmar insurgents.

Luckily for these four, Border Guard Bangladesh managed to secure their release the next day, after negotiating with the Arakan Army. It made a clear contrast to the 55 Bangladeshi fishermen who were released by the Buddhist-dominated insurgent group in mid-April, days and months after they were kidnapped.
