Bangladesh has announced that Myanmar confirmed 180,000 Rohingya refugees, who have been living in Bangladesh, are eligible to return home. This was highlighted during crucial discussions in Bangkok and signifies a potential breakthrough after years of stalled repatriation processes. The Bangladesh government submitted a list of 800,000 Rohingya refugees to Myanmar between 2018 and 2020, and Myanmar aims to expedite the verification process for the remaining names. However, many refugees remain skeptical about returning due to fears of persecution and denial of rights in Myanmar.
Myanmar’s confirmation that 180,000 Rohingya refugees are eligible to return is a potential breakthrough in the long-stalled repatriation process—it follows important talks in Bangkok.
Bangladesh submitted a list of 800,000 Rohingya in six batches, and Myanmar has committed to expediting the verification of an additional 550,000 names under review.
