Rohingya refugees mark ninth anniversary of displacement from Myanmar amid ongoing repatriation uncertainty
Nine years after Myanmar's 2017 military crackdown drove over 700,000 Rohingya into Bangladesh, approximately 1.2 million refugees remain in camps around Cox's Bazar. Myanmar's military-backed government recently claimed it verified over 300,000 Rohingya as former residents eligible for repatriation once security conditions improve, but analysts say ongoing civil war and the Arakan Army's control of much of Rakhine state make safe return unrealistic. Refugees held rallies in the camps demanding international action for safe return.
