Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali will visit Myanmar soon to see the condition in Rakhine State before starting the repatriation of forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals from Bangladesh.

Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) criticises the signing of a secret deal between UN and Myanmar, saying that it has questioned the role of the UN.

Myanmar is yet to show any real will to ensure safe repatriation of the Rohingya refugees now living in Bangladesh, UN Special Rapporteur Yanghee Lee says.

China, as part of its three-phase steps, urge Myanmar to start repatriation of Rohingyas as soon as possible saying it attaches great importance to Rohingya crisis.

The United Nations says the verification process of Rohingyas in Bangladesh will help to find solutions for the roughly 900,000 Rohingyas who have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Board of Directors approves grant assistance of $100 million -- the first of an envisaged package totaling $200 million to help Bangladesh develop basic infrastructure and services for displaced persons (Rohingyas).

Norwegian Ambassador in Dhaka Sidsel Bleken observes that the Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar have turned into a breeding ground of radicalisation due to absence of education and employment opportunities for the displaced people.

More than 10 months have passed since Myanmar’s security forces launched a sweeping campaign of rape and other brutalities against the Rohingya, and the babies conceived during those assaults have been born.

Bangladesh is deploying thousands of extra police to Rohingya refugee camps in the south, officials said, after a series of mostly unexplained killings that have sown fear among hundreds of thousands of people who have fled from neighbouring Myanmar.

Switzerland Ambassador Rene Holenstein says the international community must work closely with Bangladesh and Myanmar so that the issues of safety and protection of the Rohingyas and the work toward a voluntary and peaceful repatriation in safety and dignity are addressed in an effective and comprehensive manner.

Red Cross President Peter Maurer said he has serious doubts over the conducive conditions in Myanmar’s Rakhine state for large repatriation of the Rohingya from Bangladesh.

As he walked through the alleys of the makeshift camps in rains and met Rohingya boys and girls, he remembered his granddaughters and tried to imagine what it would be like to see them in such conditions.

Moved by the horrific stories of the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim says, “…we are all Rohingya”.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres says his heart is broken after he visited Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.

Conditions in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state are not ready yet for the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas who have fled a military crackdown, says Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of Red Cross, after visit to the region.

Appreciating Bangladesh's generous support, visiting World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim says they are insisting that generous humane countries that support refugees should not be punished.

Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific Mark Field and UK Special Envoy for Gender Equality Joanna Roper calls for greater humanitarian assistance for the Rohingyas, particularly to help support the provision of education for refugees and host communities.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says they will put more pressure on Myanmar to make them understand what they should do on the Rohingya issue.
