73 per cent Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh do not believe that repatriation will happen in at least two years’ time, according to a research.
Besides, 69 per cent of them did not believe that Myanmar will recognise and accept them as Burmese citizens either, as per research by Xchange.
The research agency came to Bangladesh on March this year and conducted a three-week survey talking to 1,277 Rohingyas living in the refugee shelters in Cox’s Bazar.
The survey was published on May first.
Moreover, as per the survey, one in three Rohingyas (33 per cent) respondents considers Saudi Arabia as a potential destination.
Almost half (48 per cent) of respondents had not received any sort of education either in the refugee camps.
Another aspect of dissatisfaction among them is the unavailability of job opportunities. A vast majority of respondents (88 per cent) were unemployed at the time of the survey, it added.
The survey added that nine in 10 Rohingya adults (91 per cent) believed that there were Rohingya families in the camps who had a child gone missing since they had moved to the camps.
In the recent survey respondents also provided opinions on their health, education, employment, harassment, human trafficking, Rohingya relocation to an inland and so on.
