In the past six weeks, over 500,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh. The crisis, precipitated by a military crackdown on insurgents , has brought intense international pressure on Myanmar's de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Bangladesh and Myanmar reached an agreement Oct. 2 to form a joint working group to vet refugees for repatriation. The plan, however, gives no clear timeline and no indication of how to resolve the underlying security situation. The agreement centers on returning refugees in line with the 1993 Rohingya Repatriation Agreement between Myanmar, Bangladesh and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. (The underlying Rohingya refugee situation dates back to the 1970s.) It's in line with Suu Kyi's Sept. 19 speech, in which she said her government was open to following this process.
