DHAKA, 20 February 2022, (TON): United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees Kelly T Clements has said “the solution to the protracted Rohingya crisis lies with Myanmar and a political solution is absolutely necessary.”
She said “following the military coup in February 2021, working with the government in Myanmar has been more difficult than in previous years.”
The deputy high commissioner noted in an exclusive interview “obviously, the solution is in Myanmar. A political solution and a broader solution to the crisis is absolutely necessary.”
When asked about a possible timeframe for an end to the crisis, she said “you know the solution lies in Myanmar. We did not expect what happened a year ago. Let’s hope we see some resolution there before long.”
