Cardinal hopeful Pope visit can help Rohingya

VATICAN CITY: The top Catholic official in Bangladesh hopes Pope Francis’s visit there and to Myanmar will bolster moves to alleviate the Rohingya refugee crisis that has put the neighbouring nations in the global spotlight.

Despite last week’s deal to return to Myanmar some of the hundreds of thousands of people housed in the world’s largest refugee camp, on the Bangladesh side of the border, Cardinal Patrick D’Rozario warns that the situation remains both explosive and tough to resolve.
