Dhaka protests Myanmar troops’ movement along borders summoning envoy

DHAKA, Sept 13, 2020   – Bangladesh today strongly protested a suspicious movement of Myanmar troops along the border amid protracted Rohingya crisis summoning the country’s ambassador in Dhaka Aung Kyaw Moeand.

“He (envoy) was called to the Myanmar cell director general’s office at the foreign ministry this afternoon when he was told that Dhaka wants neighbouring country to stop the suspicious movement of its troops along borders with Bangladesh,” a foreign ministry official told BSS.

The official said Dhaka asked the envoy to convey his country that such activities could create confusions against the backdrop of already existing Rohingya crisis.

Bangladesh currently hosts over 1.1 million forcefully displaced Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar district who were forced to flee their homeland in Myanmar’s Rakhine state when Myanmar army launched a ruthless military crackdown on August 25 in 2017.

The UN called the military actions against Rohingyas as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing” and other rights groups dubbed it “genocide”.
