Govt demands UN clarification on Rohingya exodus report

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sought an explanation from the United Nations over a report published by the UN Refugee Agency that contains factually incorrect information and wanted to know the basis on which the report was prepared.

In the report, the UN Refugee Agency said about 71,300 people were displaced from Myanmar and left the country from February 2021 to December 2024. All of them entered the Indian states of Manipur and Mizoram, suggesting no one displaced from Myanmar entered Bangladesh in the last three years.

Bangladesh expects that the UNHCR will come up with a corrected version of the report.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed the message containing its dissatisfaction to UN Resident Coordinator in Dhaka, Gwen Lewis, on Monday, according to sources at the MoFA.
