Malaysia says Myanmar to take back 5,000 Rohingya refugees

Malaysia announced on Wednesday that Myanmar has agreed to repatriate 5,000 Rohingya refugees, a move facilitated by improved bilateral relations. This agreement follows the recent detention of over 100 Rohingya refugees in Malaysia, who were later released and relocated within the country. Malaysia hosts over 126,000 Rohingya, who fled persecution in Myanmar, primarily after the 2017 military crackdown.
