This severely impacts their access to rights and services and leaves them vulnerable to external social and economic shocks. As Co-founder of the Free Rohingya Coalition, Nay San Lwin, explains: “ 6 The global push for digitised and biometric IDs and borders can only benefit Rohingya once Myanmar restores the citizenship and ethnic rights of Rohingya. No countries except western countries want to legalise the status of the Rohingya. All these countries believe that Rohingya belong to Myanmar and they should have legal status in Myanmar. So, none of them considered legalising the status of hundreds of thousands of people who need proper education, livelihood, etc. All the Rohingya except in western countries will suffer until Myanmar restores all due rights.
