Japan's Nippon Foundation has pledged $2 million to assist in relocating tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees to a remote island in Bangladesh. The foundation aims to provide skills training to the refugees, with the goal of facilitating their eventual return to Myanmar.
Since August 2017, around 700,000 Rohingya individuals fled Myanmar to seek refuge in Bangladesh following a brutal crackdown by the military. The violence, which included widespread atrocities, was condemned by global rights organizations and the United Nations as ethnic cleansing and genocide.
