Amid escalating violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, Rohingyas are trespassing into Bangladesh every day, crossing the border allegedly to escape the brutality of Myanmar’s rebel group, the Arakan Army (AA).

'The interim government has agreed in principle to allow a humanitarian corridor under UN supervision with certain conditions'

Accepting any more Rohingyas from Myanmar will only exacerbate the huge burden that Bangladesh is already facing by sheltering more than a million Rohingyas who fled here over the decades, with the biggest being in 2017, said security and foreign policy experts.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday called upon the international community to take measures to repatriate Rohingyas to their homeland of Myanmar and ensure their dignified lives there.

Oversimplified representation of the Rohingya crisis perpetuates the notion of refugees being problematic and burdensome.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (June 9, 2022) said the Rohingyas are creating social problems in Bangladesh as many of them are involved in drug and women trafficking.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday assured that New Delhi’s cooperation in resolving the protracted Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh would continue as President Abdul Hamid met him at Hyderabad House.
