Translation Summary: Mohammed Yunus told VOA Rohingya Lifeline that the situation of Yangon and its outskirts is of hostile environment. I would say so far so bad. It is no safety at all for people to move from one place to another. Police and military are standing by in every corner of the streets. All the public and private offices are being closed including banks where people cannot withdraw cash. The mechanism of government has almost stopped as of today. It meant public participation is winning as of today. Military does not care people livelihoods at all. They are extrajudicial killing and arbitrary arresting people day by day. But Generation Z is actively doing their protesting with different strategies. So far people are surviving their lives in their own way without having much more income. What will happen next is unpredictable. Wait and see! As per my case study on refugees, I found that repatriation with dignity, safety and sustainable return in conducive environment should be crucial. Mohammed Yunus told VOA Rohingya Lifeline during a short interview from Yangon, Myanmar.
