Yunus tells international community to step up ‘pressure’ on Myanmar to resolve Rohingya crisisBangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus has urged world leaders to intensify “pressure” on Myanmar and stakeholders in Rakhine State to secure a lasting political solution to the Rohingya crisis, alongside bolstering humanitarian assistance for refugees. “We must remember that the Rohingya crisis is by no means a bilateral issue between Bangladesh and Myanmar. We have only acted as a responsible neighbour and as a responsible member of the international community in fulfilling our humanitarian duty,” Yunus told the Assembly. CALL FOR POLITICAL SETTLEMENTBeyond humanitarian aid, Yunus called for international pressure on Myanmar and Rakhine actors to bring about “positive change and a swift political solution”. At the same time, a global roadmap and time-bound action plan must be adopted to find a lasting solution,” Yunus said.
