Rohingya crisis a 'humanitarian disaster'
Terming the ongoing Rohingya crisis “a humanitarian disaster”, Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Maj Gen Abul Hossain yesterday urged the international community to play an effective role in resolving the crisis.
The BGB chief was speaking at the first international symposium titled, “Land and Maritime Border Security and Safety: Challenges and Solutions”, in Jeddah of Saudi Arabia, said a press release.
Bangladesh responded to the Rohingya crisis on humanitarian grounds but Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made it clear that Myanmar must take back its citizens, he said.
Maj Hossain also shared several aspects of the challenges of border management and national, regional and international cooperation with his Saudi and international counterparts, at the five-day symposium that ended yesterday.
