Rohingyas asked Myanmar, Asean delegation at refugee camp

The joint delegation of Myanmar and Asean that recently visited the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar to persuade them to return to Myanmar allegedly faced a volley of questions from the refugees as to why Myanmar authorities were not discussing the root causes of the problem.

During the two-day visit, Rohingya representatives upheld their basic demands that include recognition of the Rohingya identity, granting of their citizenship, and assurance of their safety and security in Rakhine in presence of the international community.
