Bangladesh has reached its limits: Yunus on Rohingyas

The Chief Advisor of the interim government in Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, stressed on the urgent need for the repatriation of Rohingyas during a high-level meeting at an event on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

Yunus highlighted the significant challenges that Bangladesh has been facing due to the presence of over 1.2 million displaced Rohingyas from Myanmar.

Yunus pointed out that while Bangladesh has shown empathy in hosting the Rohingyas, the costs associated with this situation - social, economic, and environmental - are considerable. He emphasised that Bangladesh has reached its limits, adding that repatriation remains the only sustainable solution to the ongoing crisis.
