Rohingya refugees being relocated from a camp near the Bangladesh-Myanmar border arrive at Balukhali refugee camp, 50km from Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, on Sunday. (AP photo)As per the bilateral agreement between Myanmar and Bangladesh, the repatriation of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh to Myanmar begins today. The plan is that Bangladesh will provide an advance list of prospective returnees with forms attesting to their residency in Myanmar. Though the Rohingya refugee crisis has made international headlines in recent years, neither the name nor identity is officially recognised nor included among the 135 national races in Myanmar. There is a possibility of a solution as well as a danger of subsequent waves of violence and refugee crisis.
