” The World Bank clarifies its position on Rohingya repatriation.”
On this matter, it is always up to the host country to decide and the Government of Bangladesh has made its stance on the issue. They acknowledge the Rohingya as forcibly displaced persons (FDP).
They want all Rohingya who fled to their country to be repatriated back to Myanmar the soonest time possible and as safely as it could be done. The massive influx of Rohingya refugees to their country back then impacted the host’s country – economically speaking, and in hindsight, it also made their own citizens displaced. Of course it is understandable that every government wants to ensure its people. In the meantime that the Rohingya are there the International communities especially the rich nations must be willing to help the host country and the refugees for the burden of responsibility does not solely falls to the host country after all.
