Bangladesh Urges Global Roadmap for Rohingya Return at Cox’s Bazar Conference

Muhammad Yunus says Bangladesh has exhausted domestic resources, urging an internationally financed path to safe, voluntary repatriation.

Overview

  • Delegates convened in Cox’s Bazar for a two-day meeting that elevated Rohingya voices and will channel proposals to the UN’s Sept. 30 high‑level conference in New York.
  • Bangladesh’s interim leader presented proposals and warned the country cannot allocate additional funds to support more than one million refugees in the camps.
  • Tens of thousands of refugees marked eight years since the 2017 exodus with rallies calling for justice and the right to return to Rakhine state.
  • UN human rights officials say Myanmar’s military and the Arakan Army continue serious atrocity crimes against Rohingya in Rakhine, underscoring that returns are unsafe.
  • Shrinking donor support has cut camp rations and services, with reports that monthly food assistance has fallen to about $6 per person.
