Myanmar is building a camp to temporarily house 30,000 Rohingya Muslims targeted for repatriation after fleeing violence in Rakhine state, the country's official media reported Monday, as Myanmar and Bangladesh meet to discuss how to implement a repatriation deal.
More than 650,000 Rohingya have headed across the border to Bangladesh after a sweeping Myanmar Army counteroffensive in response to Rohingya militant attacks on Aug. 25, 2017.
The crackdown has been described by the United States and U.N. as ethnic cleansing, which Myanmar repeatedly rejects.
