Rohingya Refugees Rally In Bangladesh, Demand Safe Return to Myanmar

Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees gathered at camps in Bangladesh to mark the ninth anniversary of their mass exodus from Myanmar and demand a safe return to their homeland. At a rally in Kutupalong, Cox’s Bazar, refugees called on the international community, Bangladesh government and other stakeholders to ensure security in Myanmar's Rakhine state. The anniversary comes nine years after a military crackdown in August 2017 forced more than 700,000 Rohingya to flee across the border into Bangladesh.
