“Bangladesh cannot solve the Rohingya problem alone, and the international community should mount more pressure on Myanmar to solve it,” Adama Dieng, the visiting UN special advisor on the prevention of genocide, said on Sunday while paying a courtesy call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her office, Anadolu Agency reported.

Dieng stressed the need for peaceful Rohingya repatriation with due dignity and safety for a permanent solution to the crisis. “The UN wants repatriation of the Rohingya to their homeland of Rakhine state, and a peaceful and inclusive society built up there,” he added.

Praising Bangladesh’s contribution in giving shelter to more than million Rohingya refugees, Deing said, adding, “You have opened the door widely for the Rohingya.” Hasina, for her part, stressed the strain sheltering the refugees has taken on her country, as the Rohingya in the town of Cox’s Bazar outnumber the locals. “Local people are suffering a lot,” she said, adding that the international community should do more.
