Rohingya Repatriation

Refugee crisis (শরণার্থী সংকট) is now a matter of great concern in Bangladesh. This crisis is not a new one in Bangladesh, rather it has been going on since long past. In fact, since the 1970s Rohingya refugees have been coming to Bangladesh from Myanmar. In the $1990 \mathrm{s}$, more than 2.50,000 resided in refugee camps in Bangladesh. In the early 2000 s, all but 20,000 of them were repatriated to Myanmar, some against 'their will. But unfortunately this respite (বিরাম) ended' in 2015 and by 2017, an estimated 3,00,000 to 5,00,000 Rohingya refugees were in Bangladesh: Most of the refugees are located along the Teknaf-Cox's Bazar Highway that is parallel to the Naf River marking the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Later on, the number of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh continues to increase because of the brutal (বর্বর) behaviour of the Myanmar Army towards them. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than 7,23,000 Rohingyas have fled to Bangladesh since 25 August 2017. But on 28 September 2018, at the 73rd United Nations General Assembly, Bangladesh Prime Minister Shelkh Hasina said, "There are 1.1 million Rohingya refugees now in Bangladesh." This huge number of refugees is rare in any country of the world except Bangladesh. So, undoubtedly the refugee crisis has turned into a great crisis and at the same time, it informs the world people of the fact that Bangladesh, being a small country with a dense population, will not be able to feed a huge influx of Rohingya refugees in the days to come. At this moment, Bangladesh demands a permanent solution so that a huge number of Rohingya people can go back to their native country, that is the only way of Bangladesh to get rid of refugee crisis. In this regard, Bangladesh has to strengthen her diplomatic activities involving, especially, the UN and her powerful neighbouring countries.
