Simon Henshaw: Rohingya and u.s

simon henshaw: He said at a news conference in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, that Myanmar must ensure a safe and stable environment so that the Rohingya can return home, according to The Chronicle Herald. More than 600,000 Rohingya have crossed into Bangladesh since late August amid a crackdown that the U.N. has called ethnic cleansing. Simon Henshaw, acting assistant secretary for the U.S. Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, said the U.S. would continue to support Rohingya who have fled to Bangladesh because of persecution in Myanmar's Rakhine state. Henshaw, who visited Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar district on Friday, said that the Rohingya crisis was a complex one and that the U.S. would continue to encourage dialogue for resolving it. Henshaw praised Bangladesh's government and its people for supporting the refugees. He said Myanmar must take responsibility for the refugees' repatriation and that the U.S. wants speedy efforts to bring stability to Rakhine. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
