NAYPYITAW • Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi said yesterday that she hopes talks with Bangladesh this week will result in a memorandum of understanding on the “safe and voluntary return” of Rohingya Muslims who fled to Bangladesh in the past three months. A counter-insurgency operation launched in the Rakhine state has driven more than 600,000 Rohingya out of the Buddhist-majority country since late August. Rights groups have accused Myanmar’s military of atrocities, including mass rape, against Rohingya during the clearance operation.
