But, Bangladesh has delayed the start of the process responding to the concerns over their safety and security. Shahriar said, “The repatriation has been delayed as the process to ensure the Rohingyas’ safety and dignified stay in Myanmar is under way." “That’s why Bangladesh has included the UNHCR to the repatriation process,” he added. The state minister said the government was working to ensure that the Rohingya repatriation process faces no stumble after it starts. “If the Rohingyas flee into Bangladesh again once the repatriation process begins, the work to send them back will be difficult,” he said.
