Light of Truth

Myanmar will soon accept the first batch of over 2,000 Rohingya who fled to Bangladesh as part of a repatriation deal signed with Dhaka last year. AungKyawZan, deputy permanent secretary at Myanmar’s foreign affairs ministry, said they will accept over 2,260 Rohingya at a rate of 150 per day beginning from Nov. 15. “As a next phase, another 2,000 people will be repatriated. We will steadily work out the repatriating process,” AungKyawZan told.
