My journey as a Rohingya
Nijam Uddin Mohammed spent 18 years in a refugee camp in Bangladesh
The treatment of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar has led to worldwide condemnation, with the US threatening sanctions.
Bangladesh, which has taken in hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas who鈥檝e fled their homeland, has now signed a deal to return them to Myanmar.
Nijam Uddin Mohammed is a Rohingya Muslim. He spent 18 years in a refugee camp in Bangladesh, but now lives in Bradford.
He tells Eddie Mair about fleeing Myanmar when he was a boy; and about his return to visit the camps he used to live in.
