@rmaziz7: Dr. Muhammad Yunus Discusses Rohingya Crisis and Repatriation Challenges in Interview with Mehdi Hasan By Rohingya Lens News Desk | October 16, 2025 In a candid conversation with journalist Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo aired on October 11, 2025, Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus addressed the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis, highlighting both the humanitarian strain on Bangladesh and the urgent need for a sustainable, rights-based solution. During the interview, Professor Yunus reaffirmed that Bangladesh lacks sufficient resources to indefinitely support 1.3 million Rohingya refugees who fled genocide in Myanmar. He urged the international community to step up efforts to ensure a long-term and safe return for Rohingya to their homeland, emphasizing that repatriation must only happen when Myanmar becomes safe and politically stable. Citing his visit to the camps during Ramadan, Yunus recalled how Rohingya refugees expressed their desire to return home once conditions allowed. “They said we are not beggars here. We are farmers, teachers, engineers, and doctors. All we want is to go home and live our lives,” he recounted. He clarified that Bangladesh has no intention of forcing refugees back, stressing that any repatriation must be voluntary and secure. “We are not pushing them back. The political situation has to be created in such a way that they are safe to go home,” he said. Yunus added that his administration is holding discussions with international partners and the Myanmar government to create the right conditions for return, reiterating that Bangladesh’s role is to advocate for peace and dignity for all displaced people. The interview has drawn attention for its balanced yet firm stance, reflecting both Bangladesh’s compassion and its limits under mounting humanitarian pressure. #Rohingya #Bangladesh #Myanmar #MuhammadYunus #MehdiHasan
