Hundreds of Rohingyas hold rally, demand safe repatriation

KUTUPALANG, Coxs Bazar: Hundreds of forcibly displaced Rohingyas today held rallies at different camps here marking the sixth anniversary of their huge exodus, demanding safe return to their homeland Myanmar.
"We do not want to stay in Bangladesh any long. Our only demand is to quick return to our homeland Myanmar," said Musa, a representative of Rohingyas at a camp.
Since August 25 in 2017, Bangladesh has been hosting over 1.1 million forcefully displaced Rohingyas in Coxs Bazar district and most of them arrived there after a military crackdown by Myanmar, which the UN called a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing" and other rights groups dubbed it as "genocide".
