Topic: The current situation in Myanmar and its impact on Rohingya issue
Translation Summary: Dr. Wakar Uddin told VOA Rohingya Lifeline that the Military’s engagement with Rohingya community leaders and the reopening of the mosques have been confirmed through multiple sources. The military has also sent a letter to Bangladesh Foreign Minister indicating that it will do repatriation of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh. There may be reasons for these. The important thing is whether the Military will follow through with what it has said to Rohingya community leaders in Rakhine State and implement them in a timely manner, particularly the refugee repatriation. Restoration of all the Rights of Rohingya by the Military will really depend on how the other things said by the military will be followed through. It is too early to say at this point.
I think the reported move by the ANP toward the Military appears to be ANP taking the opportunity to serve their interests and the same could be true also at the Military’s side. The military has also appointed some ANP figures in the Military Government. The possible impact of their reported alliance on the Rohingya issue is unclear at this early stage, Wakar said.
OIC’s mission in this trip to Bangladesh is about sustaining all of the forms of support for the Rohingya people. Its plan is to visit the camps and the Bashan Char Island, and meeting with Bangladesh Government officials. To answer your question about dealing with Myanmar, one possible scenario can be providing support for the tripartite agreement that Myanmar, Bangladesh, and China have signed for repatriation. OIC can also reach out to China on the repatriation issue. If Myanmar is serious about resolving the Rohingya issue, it still has the opportunity now to engage with OIC. OIC is dedicated to assisting in solving the problem.
