Mohammed Hanif
The Creator of Hanifi Script
Mohammed Hanif, the creator of the Hanifi Rohingya script, a unique writing system for the #Rohingya #language.

In the 1980s, Mohammad Hanif and his colleagues created a suitable phonetic script based on the Arabic alphabet; it has been compared to the N'ko script.

This script, unlike the Arabic script, is alphabetical, meaning that all vowels are independent letters, as opposed to diacritics, as is the case in Arabic.

She served as a Member of the Union Parliament from 1951 to 1956.

She was one of only two women elected to the Union Parliament in the country’s first post-independence election in 1951.

The skeleton of a broken boat on the seashore, with a man standing before it, feels like a silent witness to the journey of Rohingya refugees in 2017.

Many crossed the Naf River in fragile boats to save their lives and reach Bangladesh.

The broken boat bears witness; the sea remembers that night.

We have not forgotten. One day, we will return this way, with our heads held high.

This is a haunting and profoundly moving image, Abul. It captures a narrative of resilience and hardship that is difficult to convey with words alone.

The composition is striking the high angle effectively contrasts the arduous journey of the individuals in the foreground against the vast, hazy landscape behind them.

The choice to focus on the figures carrying water containers anchors the image in the reality of daily survival, making the broader historical context of the Rohingya experience feel intimate and deeply personal.

​"There is a specific kind of clarity that comes from those early years in a photographer's journey when you are not just documenting a scene, but witnessing history unfolding."

​It is clear why this image has remained a lasting memory for you.

A photograph like this does more than just record a moment; it serves as a testament to the lives lived during a tumultuous chapter of history.

It is a powerful example of photography acting as a vital tool for social storytelling.

We #refugees feel that it is essential to increase the number of protection officers and ensure better access to them.

According to testimonies from refugees, many individuals especially women and youth face ongoing threats, harassment, and violence within the camps.

When they seek protection from the #UNHCR #Protection Unit, they often encounter long delays, with some waiting months before being able to speak to a protection officer.

Even when meetings take place, refugees say they are frequently told that their cases will be forwarded to senior officials, but no immediate protection is provided, leaving them exposed to continued danger.

"Documenting the human condition requires more than technical skill; it requires empathy and the courage to look closer.

My work remains dedicated to challenging stereotypes and illuminating the realities of the Rohingya crisis.

Through every frame, I aim to turn silent struggles into a loud, undeniable call for humanity and justice. We tell these stories so the world cannot look away."

Against the backdrop of the world’s largest refugee camp, a kite becomes a vessel for the impossible.

It is a reminder that even when feet are tethered to uncertain ground, a child's spirit remains unconfined.

Seeking freedom, dignity, and a place to truly belong.”

Photography is easy to learn in this day and age.

Many people learn photography online, but there are also valuable opportunities to learn offline.

I, Abul Kalam, speak from my own experience, especially for my young Rohingya brothers.

Learning photography offline often yields better results.

While reviewing photos directly, experienced photographers can give you direct guidance, point out mistakes, and help you improve step by step.

Masters can teach you up close with hands-on assistance.

Those learning photography in Rohingya camps should try to learn offline whenever possible.

This can be one of the best ways to truly understand and improve your photography skills.
