Cox's Bazar: From Refugees to Geopolitical Hub

Cox's Bazar, a town created by Captain Hiram Cox in the late 1700s, became a welcoming spot for Arakanese refugees. Now sitting pretty between the Bakkhali and Naf rivers, it's caught up in cross-border antics and geopolitical twists. With the Matarbari Deep Sea Port shaking things up, this town's past still influences its future, facing challenges like human trafficking and smuggling.
