@iamekhlas Despite its own limitations+challenges, #Bangladesh remains the world's generous host to #Rohingya refugees for decades. #Bangladesh deserves sustained solidarity. #Refugees must have a say on decisions affecting them. Root-causes of the problem and solutions are both in #Myanmar

Moving #Rohingyas to an uninhibited island? It floods. Pirates roam to kidnap fishermen for ransom. Locals nearby are opposed. “...any relocation plan involving #refugees would need to be based on & implemented through voluntary and informed decisions.” https://t.co/UfrAU0zPaB https://t.co/EBiaeRGuiU

Seeking #asylum is not a crime, but a universal and fundamental right. Nor is assisting #AsylumSeekers #refugees a crime. #UNHCR & partners are further dismayed by #Hungary's continued breach of international & EU laws regarding #refugees. #WithRefugees https://t.co/lTgtP0e2Eu

A generous #Turkey -hosts over 3.5 mln #refugees (~70% #women+#children) -via inclusion policy enables refugees access #education, language & skill trainings, #Healthcare #employment -has ~600k #Syrians enrolled in schools -deserves more international aid! https://t.co/cghHjlLOHx

After his 1st official visit to the country in 2016 as the new #UNHCR Chief, our .@RefugeesChief Grandi is now back in #Turkey, "a global humanitarian actor" and "...the front line in the world’s largest refugee crisis” hosting ~3.5 million #SyrianRefugees https://t.co/PR7HWkfDPv

#Rohingya #refugees' disillusionment & radicalization is inevitable in case of failure to address the most crucial aspects inside #Myanmar (creating conditions for return) and in #Bangladesh (sustained humanitarian+developmental support incl to the locals) https://t.co/jOWOV0bwCC
