1/5
The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Peace Accord was signed two decades ago, but peace still remains elusive due to criminal activities like killing and extortion while the emergence of new armed group Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) providing training to a militant group has become a major concern.
Communities living in the region have been trying to rebuild their lives leaving behind all the despair, but fears and conflicts put them back. Violence unleashed by armed groups kills people and destroys the prospect of peace.
Even tourism in Bandarban remains banned as part of high security measures preventing militant activities.Bangladesh marked the 25th anniversary of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Peace Accord on Friday (December 2).
