Repatriation Ruse: Myanmar's Evasion of Accountability Myanmar's military backed government has announced that over 300,000 Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh have been "verified" as former residents of western Rakhine state.
This development is part of a larger effort to downplay the scale and severity of violence against the Rohingya, who fled Myanmar in 2017.
The international community has accused Myanmar's military of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
