Bangladesh’s plans to tackle the Rohingya refugee crisis have been stalled until the new year with repatriation and relocation programs only likely to be revisited following year-end general elections, a top Bangladeshi official said on Sunday, Reuters reports. Bangladesh and Myanmar were set to start the repatriation of 2,260 Rohingya refugees to Rakhine State on Thursday, however by late afternoon no Rohingya family had volunteered to return, according to Bangladeshi authorities. Refugees who were interviewed by CNN said they are terrified of going back to Myanmar. Meanwhile, the Bangladesh government wants to send about 100,000 refugees to a muddy, uninhabited island — “formed only in the last 20 years by silt from Bangladesh’s Meghna River” — in the Bay of Bengal, VOA News reports.
