The world has done “absolutely nothing” to ensure safety in Myanmar for its persecuted Rohingya minority, said a Bangladesh foreign minister, complaining that his country is sheltering more than 1 million refugees without support.
State minister for foreign affairs Shahriar Alam told the Guardian financial support for the Rohingya has decreased each year and there has been no real progress towards repatriation in the five years since more than 700,000 fled massacres by Myanmar’s military. That wave, in August 2017, joined approximately 300,000 people that had already fled Myanmar because of previous security crackdowns.
