Balukhali refugee camp
A year on, Rohingyas still fleeing Myanmar for crowded camps
Though Myanmar says it is ready to take back the Rohingya, the continued outflow of refugees underlines the lack of progress in addressing the crisis, a year on from the start of the offensive on August 25, 2017. The Rohingya exodus has threatened Myanmar's tense transition to democracy and shattered the image of its leader, Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, outside the country.
