Rohingyas, the ethnic group of people from Myanmar had been pushed-in to boarder side country Bangladesh, yet to repatriate.

Since 25 August 2017 an estimated 655,000 to 700,000 Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh. As per Amnesty International reports, the Myanmar security forces committed rape, extrajudicial killing, and burning homes reulting the escape of Rohingyas to Bangladesh. Most of the refugees are located along the Teknaf-Cox's Bazar highway that is parallel to the Naf River, which is the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Among those numbers, almost 6000 Rohingya families have been living in the no man's land and leading a miserable life.

Last year Bangladesh and Myanmar has signed a bilateral deal for repatriation of Rohingyas. In continuation of that, Bangladesh government has submitted a number of 8,032 people list to Myanmar for safe return on February 2018. But unfortunately Myanmar selected only 700 people as per their Scrutiny-process. But the matter of sorrow is, those number of people yet not repatriated rather blaming Bangladesh that return form was not properly filled.
Myanmar thinks that we are so illiterate to fill up simple forms or have different vision!!
The above story we all know more or less. But the issue which bound me to write this news is the jock from Myanmar government!
Suddenly Myanmar government took a family consisting of 5 members back to their country from no man’s land and posted the news to their official Facebook page as a success. This is nothing but a farce. While number of human right activists mention it as one sided step which is misleading and will hamper the whole repatriation process.
In conclusion, Bangladesh has showed the humanity to the Rohingya refugees but suffering a lot with the burden of thousands of people.
My question is to the world big nations and human rights activists- are they sleeping or avoiding the issue by knowing everything. This is shame to the humanity!
Thanks for reading.
