Did Bangladesh over-stir its pot?
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday called upon the international community to take measures to repatriate Rohingyas to their homeland of Myanmar and ensure their dignified lives there.
With the escalation of conflict in Myanmar, the possibility of Rohingya repatriation materialising anytime soon has become remote, heaping the challenges for the Bangladesh government in managing the displaced people in the face of shrinking humanitarian aid for them.

Rohingya refugees remain stuck in a limbo with no effective solution to the crisis in sight.
The decision to make this treacherous journey is driven by the numerous challenges we face in refugee camps.
On October 27, the civil conflict in Myanmar took a significant turn.
Myanmar must not backtrack on its promise.
The international community must not forget the plight of the Rohingya, both inside Myanmar and outside.
Repatriation of the first batch of the Rohingyas may begin within months and 100 refugees could be sent home every day from then on, said officials concerned.
Is it a battle of numbers that give political actors the right to dehumanise them? We wish to believe that crises create the push for alternatives and that, in this case, collective actions will be towards this direction.
World leaders must step up financial contributions to help the Rohingya
Even if they go back to their homeland, what exactly is awaiting them there?
China's latest move to advance repatriation still falls short of addressing the Rohingya citizenship issue which is central to the crisis.
The resolution of the Rohingya crisis appears to have met a dead end. Quite predictably, yet another round of questionable repatriation efforts has stalled.
The Rohingya crisis continues to leave a tragic trail of immense suffering and injustice.
China now appears to be quite active in trying to make the Rohingya repatriation a reality.
We need a sustainable, not one-off, solution
China wants prompt Rohingya repatriation and is interested in building regional connectivity in South and South East Asia under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
