Top UN official urges Myanmar to recognise Rohingyas as citizens

Myanmar should recognise its ethnic minority Rohingyas as citizens, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos has said.

"It's a great pity that the Rohingyas are treated as equivalent of football in a field. I am very concerned about the denial of basic rights to the Rohingyas. It's important that Myanmar recognise them. Government of Myanmar should recognise its ethnic minority as citizens," she said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Star at a hotel in Bangladesh capital, Dhaka, yesterday.

Valerie Amos spent two days in Dhaka on the first leg of her week-long three-nation visit that will also take her to Myanmar today and Thailand on Saturday.
