Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry has said that the Rohingya-rehabilitated island of Bhasanchar is 30 years old and safe. The Rohingya have not been forcibly relocated there, the island has all kinds of living facilities.
The Foreign Ministry said in a statement Wednesday that various facilities including medical care, drinking water supply, opportunities for economic activities and shelter from cyclones have been established in Bhasanchar. “It is not about using force, intimidation or the use of money to make decisions for those who go there,” he added.
Noting that there is ample space for the free movement of Rohingya on the island, the Foreign Ministry said that the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) has already launched regular sea trucking services between Bhasanchar and Noakhali.
Bangladesh says that the Rohingya crisis has been created by Myanmar and that the solution lies entirely within Myanmar.
The Foreign Ministry says that instead of putting undue and unreasonable pressure on Bangladesh, the international community, including the United Nations / NGOs / international humanitarian and human rights organizations, should focus on the serious human rights violations that the Rohingya they have been perpetuating in Myanmar.
Bangladesh was forced to plan the relocation of one lakh of Rohingya to Bhasanchar due to numerous problems after providing temporary shelter to oppressed Rohingya in Myanmar.
According to the plan, 1,642 Rohingya were brought from Cox’s Bazar to Bhasanchar in the first phase on December 4 and 1,604 in the second phase on December 29.
Bangladesh has asked the United Nations to send a security and technical assessment team to Myanmar to assess the current situation of the Rohingya and inspect preparations for repatriation.
The Foreign Ministry says it should be aware that the Rohingya are citizens of Myanmar. Bangladesh comes to their refuge temporarily only for humanitarian reasons. The Rohingya also want to return to their homeland, Myanmar, and all must work constructively to achieve that goal.
‘The Myanmar election is over. We look forward to the visible commitment of the international community to Myanmar to accelerate the repatriation of displaced and oppressed citizens of Myanmar, ”added the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
