Bangladesh and Myanmar have agreed a timeframe for repatriating hundreds of thousands of Rohingya who fled crackdowns from the military.
Myanmar has agreed to accept 1,500 Rohingya each week, Bangladesh says, adding that it aims to return all of them to Myanmar within two years.
More than 740,000 Rohingya have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh amid violence in Rakhine state in 2016 and 2017.
Aid agencies have raised concerns about forcibly repatriating them.
Bangladesh says it aims to repatriate families together, as well as orphans and “children born out of unwarranted incidence” – meaning children conceived as a result of rape.
However, displaced Rohingya in Bangladesh have expressed concerns about returning to Myanmar.
Sirajul Mostofa, a community leader in a camp in Cox’s Bazaar, told the BBC: “We are still not clear about what agreement was signed.
