Special envoy says Washington cannot bear the burden indefinitely

Bangladesh has proposed a seven-point plan for a lasting solution to the Rohingya crisis, urging the international community to adopt a clear roadmap for repatriation and intensify pressure on Myanmar.

This is not an issue the world can afford to forget, Yunus says

The ongoing conflict between the Arakan Army and Myanmar's military junta also creates a security vacuum that leaves the Rohingya trapped between hostile forces.

While the Myanmar junta escalates its war on ethnic minorities and the world shifts its attention to Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, Syria, and Sudan, Rohingya suffering continues in near-total neglect.

More than a million Rohingya people who took shelter here are yet to be accorded formal refugee status, although Bangladesh has been widely commended for being their host since 2017.

A sharp reduction in foreign aid has deepened the education crisis for nearly half a million Rohingya children living in refugee camps in Bangladesh, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report released today

BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman yesterday urged the government to intensify diplomatic efforts and maintain pressure on Myanmar to ensure the safe, dignified, and voluntary repatriation of Rohingyas who took shelter in Bangladesh after fleeing persecution.

Young boys in the camp are targeted by adult criminal groups and forced to do and continue crimes.

Myanmar must not backtrack on its promise.

Repatriation of the first batch of the Rohingyas may begin within months and 100 refugees could be sent home every day from then on, said officials concerned.

States can end the statelessness of Rohingya children if they want to.
