COX'S BAZAR, Bangladesh (AP): Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in dozens of camps in Bangladesh marked the eighth anniversary of their mass exodus, demanding a safe return to their previous home in Rakhine state.
The refugees gathered Monday in an open field at a camp in Kutupalong, in the Cox’s Bazar district in southeastern Bangladesh, the site of a large refugee camp. They carried banners reading "No more refugee life” and "Repatriation the ultimate solution.” They were marking what they called "Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day.”
