From a human point of view, we have given them shelter. But for a long time there could not be a shelter for such a large number of people. I urge the world community to help us ensure the dignified and peaceful return of the Rohingya people of Myanmar to their homeland.

Well, why didn't I see any activities of the world human rights organization for these Rohingyas? There are about 11 lakh Rohingyas in Bangladesh and Myanmar is not doing anything to help them, but why? Now is the time for the Rohingyas to return to their homeland

If the world leadership wants to do something really good for the Rohingya, they should be repatriated quickly. Because now they have become a burden for Bangladesh.
