Myanmar Plans Rohingya Refugee Repatriation Amid Ongoing Regional Challenges
Myanmar's military-backed government stated that over 300,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are verified former residents of Rakhine state and will be allowed to return once security improves. The Rohingya crisis, ongoing since 2017, has displaced more than 700,000 people following military operations after insurgent attacks. Myanmar does not recognize the Rohingya as a lawful ethnic group, labeling them as Bengalis. Meanwhile, Rohingya refugees in Malaysia face social exclusion and rising hostility amid false social media claims.
