Rohingya refugees from Myanmar returns without properly identified
DHAKA … News Time
Rohingya refugees based in Bangladesh have refused to return to their country before Myanmar announced that they were recognized as a nation and given a regular identity. Rohingya refugee leaders called on Myanmar authorities to hold talks on deportation. According to a published report by the Myanmar army, a violent campaign against the Rohingya Muslims has forced some 7 million 30,000 Rohingya refugees to flee to Bangladesh in 2017. Where is based in a refugee camp near Cox’s Bazar and reluctant to return.
UN investigators say mass killings, gang rap and burning genocide were carried out in Myanmar, but Myanmar denied the allegations. It is to be remembered that this is the second time that Myanmar authorities visited the Cox’s Bazar camp to persuade Rohingya to return home. Earlier in October, a delegation from Myanmar came here to negotiate, but even then Rohingya people rejected the offer to return home.
A delegation from Myanmar, headed by Secretary Myint Thu, met with Rohingya leaders, and strict security arrangements were made on the occasion. The Rohingya leaders say they want Myanmar to recognize Myanmar as a separate ethnic group before returning home. “We have told them that we will not return until we are given a Rohingya identity in Myanmar,” said Dil Muhammad, a Rohingya leader who participated in the talks. They added that they will not go back to Myanmar unless justice, international security, and their demands for real cows and lands are met. “We want citizenship and all our rights, we don’t trust them, so we will go back only if we are given international protection,” he said. He also said that we want to go back to our lands and not stay in the camps. It is to be noted that the process of deportation in November was halted when no one was willing to return to Rohingya, Myanmar. On the other hand, the UN Refugee and other aid groups are also skeptical of Myanmar’s plans to return to Rohingya for protection.
