Rohingya leaders of the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar are divided over the issue of repatriation with many trying to misguide the displaced minority about their return to Myanmar, a local government official said on Monday. Kutupalaung registered camp’s chairman, Abdur Rashid, said a section of Rohingyas are attacking supporters of repatriation to disrupt the process. “Several non-government organizations, law enforcers and administration officials are backing Rohingyas opposing repatriation,” he said. According to Majhi Mohammad Ali, who leads 80 Majhis in Taznimarghona camp, Yusuf, 46, was a chairman of Dhunhai village in Maungdaw in Rakhine state. Another Rohingya, Momtaz Mia, 35, was stabbed to death by rivals during an altercation over repatriation at Lombashia camp on January 13.
