Myanmar akui 309,000 pelarian Rohingya di Bangladesh dari Rakhine

Myanmar has officially recognized nearly 309,000 Rohingya refugees currently residing in Bangladesh, according to the UNHCR. These individuals are deemed former residents of Rakhine state, a significant development in the ongoing efforts to repatriate Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh. The Myanmar Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the country will accept the group of refugees once the security situation in Rakhine improves.

However, previous attempts to initiate repatriation processes have failed due to concerns over safety, infrastructure, and human rights issues. The process has become even more complex following the ongoing conflict between Myanmar's military and the Arakan Army, which controls much of the Rakhine region. Bangladesh emphasizes that the repatriation must be voluntary, safe, and dignified, while Rohingya refugees demand assurances regarding their civil rights, safety, and rights before returning.
