Bangladesh Foreign Minister Abul
Hassan Mahmood Ali said on November 25 that the three sides will establish a
joint working group within three weeks to fix the terms for the repatriation of
Rohingya Muslims.
The priority is to ensure safety, he said, adding that Rohingya people will initially
have to live in temporary shelters or camps after their return to Myanmar from
Bangladesh.
On November 23, the two countries signed an agreement on the repatriation
process of Rohingya Muslims, which is expected to start in two months.
Some 620,000 Rohingya people had to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh after
violence broke out in Myanmar’s Rakhine state on August 25. Rohingya militants
attacked 24 police posts and a military base, leading to the government to
respond with a security campaign. Clashes have killed at least 110 so far.
