Bangladesh will press for Muslim Rohingya refugees to return to Myanmar

Bangladesh will press for Muslim Rohingya refugees to return to Myanmar: Talks between Myanmar and neighboring Bangladesh have opened on Monday, with the aim of securing the return home, the more than half a million Rohingya Muslim refugees from Mayanmar, most of which have arrived since late August.

It has been called the World’s fastest developing refugee emergency by the United states, which calls the exodus of 507,000 Rohingya since Aug.25 ethnic cleansing by the Budhist majority Myanmar of the Rohingya Muslims.

On the other hand Myanmar has rejected the claims. Myanmar’s forces have launched an offensive in the north of Rakhine state in response to coordinated attacks by Rohingya insurgents on Aug 25.

Insurgents have been blamed for the attacks on civillians and for setting most of the fires which have reduced more than half of the villages belonging to Rohingya to ashes by the Myanmar government.

According to Myanmar more than 500 people have been killed in the latest violence, most of whom were insurgents.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called for an end to the violence and for safe zones to be set up in Myanmar to enable refugees to return.

She has also called for a U.N. fact-finding mission to go to Myanmar and for Myanmar to implement recommendations on solving problems in Rakhine drawn up by a team led by former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan.
