‘Dhaka seeks durable solution to Rohingya crisis’: Foreign minister
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today sought a durable solution to the Rohingya crisis through their peaceful repatriation and termed yesterday's incident at Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar as a very sad outcome.
"This is very sad. We said before that uncertainty may be created in the region if the Rohingya crisis is not resolved," he told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He said the countries like Japan, China, India and Korea which are investing in Myanmar may not get expected returns on their investment if the Rohingya crisis remains unsettled, thus creating uncertainty in the whole region.
Four Rohingyas were killed and 20 others injured in a turf war at a camp in Cox's Bazar's Ukhiya on Tuesday night.
Officer-in-Charge of Ukhiya Police Station Monjur Morshed said they are yet to identify the Rohingyas killed in the clash.
An additional armed battalion has been deployed in the camp after the incident.
Bangladesh is currently hosting more than 1.1 million Rohingyas in the coastal district. Factional clashes occur more frequentlynowin the camps.
In the last five days, seven Rohingyas were killed in clashes over dominance.
It is unclear how the Rohingyas managed to get hold of firearms. There are allegations that some residents of the camps are involved in criminal activities.
Sources at the Ukhiya Police Station said four cases were filed there until Tuesday.
