They are not going to live there forever. The island will basically be the refuge camp instead of right in chittagong. They will only be there for 2 months of temporary shelter and then they will go back to Arakan

I don't think they would want to go back to Arakan nor the Myanmar govt would let them in onto their side of the border. It is best to keep them on that island or maybe a couple of other such islands and try to develop those and make em inhabitable

Just like any other country, MM can't remove a portion of their population because they don't want them. If MM don't want anything to do with them, let Arakan secede and become it's own state. They can't just throw people onto other nations' islands
 
You are free to take them if you care more than we do.

Yea right, you surely are taking care of them by putting them on a drowning island and yea, everyone should take your surplus population while you lot keep on bragging about reduction in fertility rate.

Take them to your country if you want. Or shut up if you can't. Have we ever questioned how Pakistan take care of Afghan refugees?

It is between us and Burma. Let us handle it the way we see fit.

Star Online Report
Government’s decision to rehabilitate Rohingya refugees in an island of Noakhali will be suicidal, BNP Standing Committee Member Moudud Ahmed said today.
“It goes against the interest of Bangladesh,” Moudud said, urging an immediate cancellation to the plan, in a programme at National Press Club in Dhaka.

Repatriation deal with Myanmar on one end and a rehabilitation project on another end is controversial, he said. “The project is encouraging more influx from Myanmar.”

“If Rohingys are sheltered in Bangladesh, their demands may be increase in future. They may raise demand for education and power supplies,” Moudud said.

Last Thursday, Bangladesh allocated over Tk 2,300 crore in project “Ashrayan-3” to rehabilitate the refugees stranded in Bangladesh in Bhashanchar, an island in Noakhali.

Also, Moudud alleged that it will be “impossible for Bangladesh” to repatriate the Rohingyas as the repatriation deal struck “is a trap sprung” by Myanmar.

The former law minister also referred to his party’s participation in the next elections, subjected to a fair and congenial atmosphere, and the recent arrest warrant against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, which he termed was “unlawful”.

Bhasan Char island, 15km off the Bangladesh mainland, has been given green light by the Bangladesh government for relocating Rohingya refugess Dhaka Tribune
The announcement comes just days after Bangladesh signed an agreement with Myanmar to repatriate the Rohingya refugees.
The National Economic Council of Bangladesh government has approved a controversial $280 million project to transform a desolate island off its southern coast into a temporary camp for 100,000 Rohingya refugees on Tuesday, despite warnings that the site is uninhabitable.

The announcement comes just days after Bangladesh signed an agreement with Myanmar to repatriate the Rohingya refugees languishing in overburdened camps along its border.

The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave the green light to the planned redevelopment of Bhasan Char – a project that has attracted fierce criticism since it was first proposed in 2015.

After the meeting, Planning Secretary Ziaul Islam said they hoped the island – 15km off the mainland – would be ready from May to accommodate some of the more than 620,000 Rohingyas that have crossed the border in the past three months.

“Approximately one lakh [100,000] people will be shifted there for the time being. We hope the project work will be completed by 2018,” he said.

“The navy has been given the task in an effort to expedite the (project) work.”

Apart from building shelters, low-lying areas of the island must be filled in and embankments erected around the entire perimeter to ensure it can resist tidal flooding, monsoon storms and seasonal cyclones.

The silty strip of land only emerged in the Bay of Bengal in 2006, and lies one hour’s boat journey from the nearest inhabited island.

Dhaka last year shelved plans to turn the island into a way station for refugees amid warnings it could be completely inundated by floods.

But the scheme was revived in late August as unprecedented numbers of new Rohingya arrivals poured into Bangladesh’s southernmost district, Cox’s Bazar, placing enormous strain on limited resources and makeshift camps in the border region.

Bangladesh Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali in September appealed for international assistance to transport the Rohingyas to the island.

But leaders for the persecuted Muslim minority remain opposed to the idea and a UN agency official warned that any attempt at a forced relocation would be “very complex and controversial”.

The navy has built two helipads and a small road on the island in recent months but concerns persist over its suitability for human habitation, with experts warning it could be swallowed by tides and rising seas.

Aztecs were a small tribe that was pushed on to a small island prone to flooding.
They built on it a city and expanded to conquer everyone around them.

So Rohingyas, what do ya say. o_O
