Bangladesh\u2019s interim leader Muhammad Yunus expressed hope that Rohingya refugees could celebrate next Eid in Myanmar, yet significant hurdles remain, DW news agency reported. Over 1 million Rohingya live in camps in Cox\u2019s Bazar and Bhasan Char after fleeing Myanmar\u2019s 2017 military crackdown and ongoing conflict in Rakhine State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myanmar recently confirmed 180,000 Rohingya eligible for return, following verification talks with Bangladesh. However, repatriation depends on ensuring safety and dignity, with continued fighting between Myanmar\u2019s military junta and the Arakan Army (AA) rebel group complicating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Cox\u2019s Bazar, proposing a humanitarian aid corridor from Bangladesh to Myanmar to support safe returns. Dialogue with the AA is considered essential, as they control much of Rakhine State and have affirmed support for Rohingya repatriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human rights advocates stress that citizenship rights and protection against persecution are critical before any return. Bangladesh continues to push for international support, with a UN conference planned to address the Rohingya crisis later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
