Myanmar is building a camp to temporarily house 30,000 repatriated Rohingyas who fled violence in Rakhine, Myanmar's state media reported as the Joint Working Group held its first meeting in Naypyitaw to discuss ways of implementing a repatriation deal yesterday.
The Joint Working Group, responsible for overseeing the repatriation of the Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh, meets in Naypyitaw today amid doubts over safe return and resettlement of the Rohingyas in Rakhine.
Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali yesterday said Dhaka protected its interest in signing the deal with Naypyitaw over the repatriation of Myanmar nationals and hoped to send them back home within “a reasonable time”.
Bangladesh and Myanmar have agreed to begin repatriation of “hundreds of thousands” of Rohingyas in two months amid the international community's repeated calls for the return of the forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals to their homeland.
