(6 months ago)Over a million Ringya refugees in Bangladesh say the upcoming parliamentary elections have little or no impact on their lives, while remaining trapped in camps with difficult living conditions and no clear prospects for the future. The two main political parties have promised they will push ahead of the Ringyave [...] return.
The two main political parties have promised that they will push ahead with the return of Ringaya to Myanmar, but experts warn that a safe and dignified reparation is currently irreplaceable due to the security situation and continued human rights violations there.
Refugees in the Coxé Bazar camps face lack of education, health services and employment opportunities, while international aid cuts have exacerbated humanitarian conditions. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh there is growing a growing sense of hostility towards Roggaya, who are often blamed for social and security problems.
Experts stress that the future government should draft an inclusive strategy that goes beyond promises of return, improving living conditions and ensuring protection of refugee rights. /Periscope
