For the past seven years, the lives of over a million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh have hung in the balance. Several attempts for repatriation have already stalled, including a so-called pilot repatriation program, due to persistent refusal of the Rohingya to return home without a guarantee of their citizenship and security. Meanwhile, the situations both in Cox’s Bazar refugee camps and inside Myanmar, more particularly in Rakhine, are sharply deteriorating, as hundreds of civilians have reportedly been killed while trying to flee the fighting between Rohingya armed groups and the military junta. Thus, the Rohingya issue is increasingly proving to be far more complex than a refugee repatriation case, and has tapped into many strands of regional and international politics. In view of the above scenario, this chapter examines the problematic aspects of Rohingya repatriation and the geopolitical dynamics among the global/regional power brokers in finding a solution. The recent call by the head of Bangladesh’s interim government for a “fast-track” third-country resettlement is not addressing the root causes of the Rohingya crisis. A durable solution means repatriation of the Rohingya with dignity and rights restored. However, given the global experience of refugee repatriation, this might involve a long process spanning the coming decade and requiring more engaged diplomacy and international cooperation, particularly among the large and powerful neighbors in the region. For now, the Rohingya are entirely dependent on aid and assistance for protection, food, shelter, health and hygiene, and support for education for their children. The dwindling financial commitments by the international community are currently affecting the humanitarian work on the ground.
