No reference to this notion in UNHCR’s Voluntary Repatriation Handbook as far as I can see. On what basis does Myanmar say that certain refugees are cleared (or not cleared) to return? Is UNHCR allowing the Syrian government to use the same approach?

There are bamboo shelters

There are hospitals, but not everyone can reach them

There are classrooms, but strict limits on education

Most refugees depend on aid, but they have little say in how it’s delivered#Rohingya crisis 2 yrs on:@newhumanitarianhttps://t.co/YlKKjnsWZe

Rohingya repatriation:
“We provided more staff at the camp to receive the refugees on Thursday, but no one has returned so far. We don’t know why.”
Well I think we know exactly why…https://t.co/DRLNdmxkc2

“How can we believe those who killed our nearest and dearest?”

Massacred at home & forced to flee #Myanmar, 700.000+ #Rohingya #refugees are living in misery w/ little hope. They have a right to a future in safety.

W/o justice, atrocities will continue.https://t.co/1mfY8PFFn3

4/4 Myanmar & Bangladesh have agreed to the repatriation of over 3,000 #Rohingya refugees, with the process scheduled to start today. However, the second attempt of repatriation fails as #Rohingya demand #safety and #citizenship. https://t.co/PDmFqISW3N

The Sinophone internet is awash with short videos promoting Han-Uyghur inter-marriage. This one asserts that Xinjiang has long been a mixed race region and is now safe and home to many beautiful and eligible Uyghur women who will appreciate a doting Han husband pic.twitter.com/yuHnidD0L7

Some incredibly creepy interviews with Uighur detainees at a government-organized visit to an internment camp in Xinjiang, posted by an Albanian academic named Olsi Jazexhi, showing them renouncing their faith in Chinese language. https://t.co/Ki5aJmNz7B

Interesting report on Chinese influence at UN: „In June 2019, China’s Vice Min of Agriculture was elected Dir-Gen of the @FAO. This means that four of the 15 specialized agencies of the U.N. are now headed by a Chinese natl.“ https://t.co/q3SRaOvWvp
