The SLAVIC One. I actually had a childhood friend called Jaroslav from Czechoslovakia who looked exactly like this guy but that's not important here. This is Irshad, he crossed the border to Bangladesh the day before with the others and they were like thousands. The military took his mother away for raping of course and then they'll slaughter her like they did to the others, his father was taken away too and was most probably killed by the time I took this portrait of him. I did not want to ask too many questions as I saw him gasping for air, gulping and breaking down but the sisters who took me there (my Bengali American clients) kept insisting and then they tell me that they (Christian Aid) have to be politically correct and cannot report everything which was one of the two reasons why I cancelled my assignment with them although I gave them other excuses like my car broke down which was not a joke either. These are my people for fuck's sake! Through the car window....Rohingya Refugee Camp, Cox's Bazar, Chittagong, Bangladesh: photo by Nayeem KALAM, 20 September 2017

When they turned and looked back across the valley, they could see flames already beginning to climb the steep wooded ridge behind them. The fire area, large enough to be visible from space, was now a luminous web created by the smaller fires advancing impatiently toward and then mingling with each other at their points of connection. These nodes of contact showed up as bright flares. The decision to abandon the vehicle was starting to feel like it might have been a mistake. They walked on into the blazing woods, no longer pausing to look back.

Conditions were absolutely appalling, I am talking about the weather and the roads, if you think of the refugees, well....you just can't imagine unless you've been there. Some of the ones who could carry some Burmese money only to be ripped off at the Bangladesh border by the local crooks, the exchange rate is a farce you know. Some saved their last for a ride on those local tractors, they had no energy left to walk I am sure. What I have witnessed was unforgettable for someone like me, I felt so much anger and rage but then I felt a sense of pride too, pride because I realized I was documenting the history of my own people.

Conditions were absolutely appalling, I am talking about the weather and the roads, if you think of the refugees, well....you just can't imagine unless you've been there. Some of the ones who could carry some Burmese money only to be ripped off at the Bangladesh border by the local crooks, the exchange rate is a farce you know. Some saved their last for a ride on those local tractors, they had no energy left to walk I am sure. What I have witnessed was unforgettable for someone like me, I felt so much anger and rage but then I felt a sense of pride too, pride because I realized I was documenting the history of my own people. No Rohingya photographers or journalists were there, it's not easy for them you know. Rohingya Refugee Camp, Cox's Bazar, Chittagong, Bangladesh: photo by Nayeem KALAM, 20 September 2017

The SLAVIC One. I actually had a childhood friend called Jaroslav from Czechoslovakia who looked exactly like this guy but that's not important here. This is Irshad, he crossed the border to Bangladesh the day before with the others and they were like thousands. The military took his mother away for raping of course and then they'll slaughter her like they did to the others, his father was taken away too and was most probably killed by the time I took this portrait of him. I did not want to ask too many questions as I saw him gasping for air, gulping and breaking down but the sisters who took me there (my Bengali American clients) kept insisting and then they tell me that they (Christian Aid) have to be politically correct and cannot report everything which was one of the two reasons why I cancelled my assignment with them although I gave them other excuses like my car broke down which was not a joke either. These are my people for fuck's sake! Through the car window....Rohingya Refugee Camp, Cox's Bazar, Chittagong, Bangladesh: photo by Nayeem KALAM, 20 September 2017

Not that it's good for the environment or the local economy but where will they settle, this has been such a monumental blunder by the Myanmar government.

WHAT WAS MY CRIME? Just because I look different, because I have a different faith. I have not thought of harming anyone, why did you do this to us? I know Suu Kyi didn't do it but she is as responsible as those who committed the genocide, the Army and those brainwashed Rakhines. This is no ordinary tragedy my friends.

Many thousands of them arrived that day, crossing the border in terrible conditions, some of them waited by the side of the road and others just kept walking. It was not a nice sight although it might look good in pictures.

Theywere like ghosts: Fred Dufour, AFP, 16 October 2017
Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh -- Once, during the night, I was waiting for them on the beach, wanting to photograph them as they disembarked from the boats. They walked on the sand in silence, utterly exhausted, paying no attention to me. They looked like ghosts, coming onto land from the sea. Out of the dark, one little boy walked toward me, attracted by the light of my phone. He stopped in front of me, no expression on his face, holding his head in his hands. He seemed completely lost, not sure what to do next.

I deliberately did not look at any photo coverage of the Rohingya refugee crisis before arriving for the assignment in Bangladesh. The worst thing for a photographer is to try and capture the picture that you have in your mind -- and miss the things happening all around you. I decided to see once I was on the spot.

One of the things that struck me most was how exhausted and shocked they all were. From the beginning, none of them seemed to care at all about me being there, snapping away pictures. They seemed so much in shock that they didn’t even see me. They seemed to be on automatic, in a desperate mode. Like ghosts on the beach.

I volunteered to go on this mission. I love covering the human condition and am fascinated by how people fight for themselves in times of crisis.

The enormity and horror of the situation hit me as soon as I got to Cox’s Bazaar near the Myanmar border. You’re a human being and you can’t help but be affected by the misery you see. But I had a job to do and so I tried to keep that in mind as much as possible as I worked. It was very difficult.

It’s hard to stay stone faced when you have bodies of five dead kids in front of you. You can’t help but think about your kids. Most of the time, I’m not prepared for the rush of emotion. I get as much information as I can when I get to a spot and then I try and manage the emotions in my mind.

Stay focused on the job, how best to shoot this, keep good distance from the bodies. Sometimes I kept my camera in front of my face a bit longer than need be. It hid the tears well. “Stay focused, work, work, work,” I would repeat to myself. “Don’t get overcome by emotion.”

I made sure to work excruciatingly long hours. I guess it was my small way of making sure that I was also suffering a bit. And when I was tired, I didn’t have the energy to think about all the misery around me. Every night when I would return to my hotel I would have to have a drink.

I kept a distance with these people, especially the ones who were crying over the loss of a loved one. They may not have been paying any attention to me, but out of respect for them I refused to come up to them with a wide-angle 24 mm lens. I also avoided photographing those who looked me directly in the eye. The people who really stood out to me where the ones with the empty look in their eyes…
