Rohingya Refugees Rally in Bangladesh Camps to Demand Safe Return to Myanmar

Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees rallied in Bangladesh’s camps, marking the ninth anniversary of their mass exodus from Myanmar and demanding a safe return. Demonstrators urged the international community to ensure security in Myanmar’s Rakhine state before repatriation. More than one million Rohingya live in Bangladesh after fleeing a 2017 military crackdown. Refugees say ongoing conflict makes return unsafe, while officials insist any repatriation must be voluntary, dignified, and sustainable. The rally highlighted their desire to go home safely.
