Rohingya refugees to return in 2 years
Context
Bangladesh and Myanmar have agreed to repatriate 650,000 Rohingya refugees, who fled Myanmar’s crisis-hit Rakhine province, in two years, according to an agreement signed between the two countries.
Bangladesh, Myanmar sign deal
- The countries held the first meeting of a joint working group on the issue in Naypyidaw where the deal was signed
- Under the deal, Bangladesh would establish five transit camps from which returnees would be received initially in two reception centres on the Myanmar side
- Myanmar would shelter them in a temporary accommodation at the Hla Pho Khung and expeditiously rebuild the houses for the returnees to move in
- According to the arrangement, Myanmar would consider resettling the displaced people staying at the zero line on a priority basis and reiterated its commitment to the stop outflow of its residents to Bangladesh.
- The two countries also finalised the “form” for verification of the returnees
- Modalities for repatriation of orphans and children born out of unwarranted incidents have been incorporated in the arrangement.
