'I would request the international community to understand the untenability of the situation.'
Warning that a wider regional problem is at hand, Bangladesh's leader said Friday that the crisis involving Muslim Rohingya refugees from neighboring Myanmar is"going beyond the camps" where they are staying.
"I would request the international community to understand the untenability of the situation," Hasina said."The crisis is now going beyond the camps. Despite all our efforts to contain it, the crisis is now becoming a regional threat." She says Bangladesh will continue to work with Myanmar to encourage repatriation of the Rohingya. She has proposed at the UN this week a resolution ensuring that Myanmar and the international community must ensure the safety of any Rohingya returnees.
Bangladesh said this week that authorities will build barbed-wire fences around more than 30 Rohingya refugee camps near the border to stop their expansion.
