Does passport renewal imply state responsibility? Bangladesh has agreed to renew the passports of around 69,000 Rohingya refugees living in Saudi Arabia after diplomatic pressure from Riyadh, Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain said. He stressed that the move does not grant Bangladeshi citizenship and stems from past administrative failures that allowed Rohingyas to obtain passports decades ago. Dhaka maintains that Rohingyas are Myanmar nationals and must ultimately be repatriated. #Rohingya
