As other doors close, some Rohingya cling to hope of resettlement

On the third anniversary of a mass exodus of Rohingya to Bangladesh, prospects look bleak for about one million members of the Muslim minority from Myanmar living in bamboo and plastic shelters in refugee camps.

Two attempts to get a repatriation process going, in 2018 and 2019, failed as the refugees refused to go back to Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where they are denied citizenship and considered outsiders, fearing violence.
