The United States and the United Kingdom pledged $96 million in new aid at the first High-Level Conference on the Situation of the Rohingya Muslims and Other Minorities in Myanmar at the UN headquarters on Tuesday. The US committed $60 million, while the UK announced $36 million, according to Chief Adviser Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam.
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus addressed the opening session and called for seven-point actions to resolve the crisis. He described Rohingya repatriation as the only peaceful solution and proposed creating a practical roadmap for their safe and dignified return with reasonable stabilization of Rakhine. Yunus warned that as funding declines, repatriation remains the only peaceful option available.
