British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who paid a visit to Bangladesh on February 9-10, has said the plight of the Rohingya and the suffering they have had to endure is one of the most shocking humanitarian disasters of their time.
“This is a man-made tragedy that could be resolved with the right political will, tolerance and cooperation from all those involved,” he said during the visit, the first official visit by a British Foreign Secretary in ten years.
Johnson, who was appointed Foreign Secretary on 13 July 2016, also spoke to Rohingya families and community leaders during a tour of Cox’s Bazar and heard about the persecution they have suffered and about the challenging living conditions in the camps.
He paid tribute to the hospitality and compassion shown by the people and the government of Bangladesh who are facing an “enormous challenge” in providing humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya community.
During his meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs laid emphasis on the quick repatriation of Rohingyas to their homeland in Myanmar saying that any delay may complicate the issue. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also agreed with the remarks of the British Foreign Secretary.
Both of them also agreed that after the repatriation of the Rohingyas, Myanmar authorities should allow international organisations, including the UNHCR to provide humanitarian assistance for the Rohingyas.

Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes
My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.
