The US wants Myanmar to repatriate hundreds of thousands of Rohingya in their own villages following their exodus from the country’s violence-wracked Rakhine state for Bangladesh, said Simon Henshaw, acting US assistant secretary of state who visited refugee camps in southeast Bangladesh. US lawmakers have also proposed targeted sanctions and travel restrictions on Myanmar military officials over the treatment of the country’s Rohingya Muslim minority, one of the strongest efforts yet for Washington to intervene in the humanitarian crisis. In September, US President Donald Trump urged the UN Security Council to take “strong and swift action” to end violence against the Rohingyas.
