Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh to make “go and see” Myanmar visit

A team of 20 Rohingya Muslims and some Bangladeshi officials will visit Myanmar’s Rakhine state on Friday for a day as part of a planned repatriation effort.
Nearly one million Rohingya Muslim refugees are living in camps in the border district of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, most having fled a military-led crackdown in Myanmar in 2017.
Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, Bangladesh’s refugee relief and repatriation commissioner in Cox’s Bazar, said it was a “go and see” visit and the delegation would return the same evening.
A Bangladesh government official said “around 1,100 Rohingya will be repatriated if all goes well”.
