Translation summary: Raouf Mazuo, Assistant high commissioner for operations, UNHCR and Gillian Triggs’ Assistant high commissioner for protection visited Bhashan Char on 31st May 2021 to monitor situation of Rohingyas. While they were heading to the Navy office, few hundreds of Rohingyas demonstrated telling them to take them to USA. They are not happy in that island. A Rohingya unwilling to mention name said,” Those Rohingyas are doing that based on the rumors spread on the internet that US government announced to take Rohingyas to US. But that is not the fact. Those Rohingyas are trying to make bad reputation around the world. Here in Bhashan Char we came here willingly. And we are waiting for the repatriation. The Rohingyas who demonstrated later vandalized some shops. This is totally unacceptable, the Rohingya said. He mentioned that Bangladesh government has been constantly doing for us till today and thus no one can blame Bangladesh government”.

Topic: Muhammad Ayas, Founder of the Rohingya Education Development Plan-REDP Talked On How Rohingya Children Are Teaching Under REDP and Urged International Community To Ensure Formal Educational Facilities in Cox's Bazar Migrant Camp
Translation summary: Muhammad Ayas, Founder of the Rohingya Education Development Plan-REDP and temporary resident of Balukhali Camp- 08W said to VOA Rohingya Lifeline Program that Many Rohingya children have been deprived of educational facilities though NGOs/Agencies are teaching the children in the camp. So, we some educated Rohingya youths and matriculation passed students have formed Rohingya Education Development Plan-REDP and are teaching the Rohingya children who have been deprived of educational facilities in the camp since 2018. Besides, Ayas added that we Rohingya are citizens of Arakan, Myanmar that's why REDP is teaching the children from Grade 01 to Grade 09 in the Burmese curriculum. And hopes that every child can have continuously educational access after returning to Arakan Burma as well. Ayas said again that there are above 70 teachers and about 1500 students under REDP. So, REDP is making the children aware of COVID-19 and teaching them health guidelines. But there are no places, and teaching materials such as whiteboards, books, pens, badges, and others in the camp. Moreover, children are not improving in education despite NGOs/Agencies are teaching for nearly four years that's why we Rohingya are very much concerned about it. And wanted to request the international community to ensure formal educational facilities, qualified teachers , and other facilities for the Rohingya children in the camp.
