United Nations, Jan 17 : UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has favoured that Rohingyas’ return from Bangladesh to Myanmar should be “voluntary” and that way just moving them from camps in Bangladesh to similar ones in their own country is not desirable.
“The worst would be to move these people from camps in Bangladesh to camps in Myanmar, keeping an artificial situation for a long time and not allowing for them to regain their normal lives,” Mr Guterres told a press conference here on Tuesday.
Answering questions on the return of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh, he said, “What is it that is essential on this is to make sure that the return is voluntary; it is in safety and dignity and that people are allowed to come back to their places of origin”.
