Myanmar reports over 300,000 Rohingya verified for return
Myanmar’s military-backed government announced that over 300,000 Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh prior to August 2017 are former residents of Rakhine state and plans to accept their return when security conditions improve. The statement follows ongoing tensions and violence in Rakhine, which prompted hundreds of thousands to flee into Bangladesh after a military crackdown. Myanmar does not officially recognize the Rohingya as citizens and disputes the scale of displacement, while cross-border repatriation efforts, initiated in 2018, have stalled due to deteriorating security in Rakhine.
