Bangladesh PM Attacks Myanmar over Rohingya Deadlock

Agence France-Presse

   DHAKA - Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has slammed Myanmar for
   delays in the repatriation of Rohingya refugees who fled violence in
   the neighboring country.

   Some 740,000 Rohingya took shelter in fetid, overcrowded camps in
   Bangladesh after Myanmar's military drove them over the border in a
   2017 crackdown.

   Many still fear for their safety if they return to Myanmar, where the
   Muslim minority has faced decades of repression and erosion of rights.

   But the Bangladeshi prime minister's comments late Sunday are a sign
   that the country's patience is wearing thin.
