Myanmar is a complex state, whose modern army is engaged in civil war since its birth. The Myanmar military is almost always facing the armed rebel forces of any tribal group. In early November, the Arakan army (AA) attacked Myanmar forces patrolling the Kaladan river in northern Rakhine and China-related Palitawat. In the attack, 11 officers including two officers were killed and 14 were seriously injured. In spite of this, 1,300 Buddhist and Christian villagers crossed the border and took shelter in India. It was reported that Myanmar army has used helicopter gunships to take revenge measures.
North Alliance was formed in northern Myanmar under the umbrella of the Kachin Independent Army (KIA), with one of the members Arakan Army Of course, the Arakan Army has two separate groups. One of them is Arakan Army, Kachin State; The other is Arakan Army, Qian State. Both groups are known as the Arakan State Army. Although the location of this group is Kian State, they are mainly known as Rakhine rebels. These two parties believe in Rakhine nationalism. The Arakan Army and their political organizations believe that Rakhains have different castes and people of different sub-groups among them. Many subsets will have to bring the individuality of this region back. They are mainly Rakhain, Sam and Buddhist. They are involved in guerrilla warfare along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border.
These two groups have been preparing more attacks against recent times in northern Arakan, with the possibility of unrest in the whole of Arakan or Rakhine state. The members of these two rebel groups are Rakhine Buddhists, whose habitat is located in the southern part of Bangladesh and in the far south Quakata region. Lakhbar Marma of Rakhain Buddhists, they are also known as mugs in this region. There are also a section of them in India. It is assumed that Buddhists from Rakhine region, on whose behalf Rakhine or Arakan nationalist theory was born, their number is 6% of the total population of Myanmar. In south Rakhine more densely but many of them live in the Rohingas region.
Among the two groups, the Arakan Army (Kachin) is more than the number. The organization's membership is of three thousand. Their training, guerrillas experience and arms are more than the Arakan Army (Kian). The commander-in-chief of the former student leader and self-proclaimed Major General Tuan Marat Choong Although the other group is smaller than this group, Arakan Army or Arakan State Army manpower is about 400. Their so-called commander-in-chief is the so-called self-proclaimed Colonel Min Jane. The group also took up arms in Rakhine for the establishment of Rakhine Autonomous Region with all the tribes of Rakhine. The sources of money for these two groups are tainted by drug smuggling, timber smuggling and Rakhines from the 'Z' mines in the Kachin region. Members of these were also collected. Two groups are equipped with heavy armor, The idea that through the devastation of the horrific attacks of early November. It is believed that the attack was carried out by the Kyan State of Arakan Army or the Arakan State Army. This area is the 'Operation' zone of this force. It is to be noted that the place of this attack in north Rakhine is only 18 kilometers away from the border of southwestern Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh.
The Myanmar military's attack on the region was a time when Myanmar military was plagued with the charges of the killing of Rohingya. Answer: The opinion of the world against the kind of barbaric behavior that the army of North Rakhine has been doing is seriously weakening the forces of this force. The Arakan Army has taken the opportunity. On 10th November, 10 days after the attack of Paltwa village, the Arakan Army was fired with Myanmar forces in the Rohingya Boothding area. However, no casualties were reported.
In response to these two incidents, on August 25, the Myanmar military attacked Rohingya on the pretext of the so-called 'Arsa' (ARSA) attack; The Arakan Army (Kian) group was attacked in the region on August 22, three days before the attack. However, no damage was found. Three days after the incident, the Myanmar military launched an anti-humanitarian act on the pretext of attacking the Arsar army, after the Arakan Army attacked the information.
Myanmar tried to deceive the world, and it had some success. The so-called Aresa is not close to the Arakan Army in Rakhine's civil war. There is no comparison between these two organizations. Two parts of the Arakan Army - Kian and Kachin are being managed individually, under the shadow of their own political organization. Arakan Army Kachin is managed by the United League of Arakan, and the Arakan Army Qian is being managed by the Arakan National Council United Nationalities Federal Council's political direction. There is no data available yet, since there is a political organization that can operate as a so-called Rohingya militant organization.
These two groups, known as the Arakan Army, were provided military training through the alleged military training school of the Kachin Independence Army and the alleged Military Academy. In the news, the training was organized in the alleged freedom-circle held by the Kachin Army in the Kachin region, where all the major Insurgent groups in the region are trained, compared to the only Rag-tag (torn piece of cloth) organization. That is, the kind of propaganda that Myanmar had carried out with the mission, the activities of the Arakan army were covered with the people of Myanmar and the people of Myanmar. Suddenly, the horrific attack of the Arakan Army is a matter of concern for Naypathu and Tadmozh (military forces). Because, in the event of the international rivalry and Rakhine's emergence of the two Front is to be managed. There are other civil war in the desert.
Since the above attacks, several sources-supported reports have been published since the Arakan Army has increased their activities by taking full advantage of the turmoil in the Rakhine region. On 18 November, Myanmar soldiers had another clash with the Arakan Army in Rohingya Boothding, which was 'Hit and Run'. It should be noted that on August 22, the Arakan army occupied the scarcity of the weak Arakan Liberation Army in Palitwa region, who were cooperating with the government with a ceasefire. Their strength is growing in the region. Reminiscent, Major General Maung Mong Soekey, commander of Western Command Chief Western Command, was withdrawn in that region. The commander of the Central Command was withdrawn due to the increase in the Arakan Army operation and the casualties in this horrific attack. Not because of the Rohingyas, As many of us had the idea. Mong Mong Soek was withdrawn a few days after the attack in Palitewa, when Senior General Min Aung Laying visited the Sittwe Army.
In 2016, the Bangladesh army raided the Rangamati-Bandarban region and handed over the Myanmar military personnel to the Myanmar government, handed over to the Arakan army. In the operation, a member of the Arakan army recovered a few horses and several equipment. Through this, the government of Bangladesh behaved well with Myanmar. Whereas Myanmar has been pushing Rohingya by the Bengali name in the year 2017, it can not be termed as a good neighborly behavior.
However, the Rohingya crisis does not seem to be settling easily. The Foreign Ministry also thinks that. There is no guarantee that any other Rohingya rebel groups like Arsara will not be born. About 10 lakh Rohingyas are now in Bangladesh. Among them, the number of men aged 18 to 40 years is much lower. The question arises, what is the reason for their numbers being so low? It is also quite hard to imagine that all of them killed Myanmar soldiers.
It is not certain whether the new rebel group will be added to Myanmar. There is doubt in the international arena of whether Arsa or other organizations, especially Kachin will collaborate with the Arakan Army. However, last month, the self-proclaimed chief of the Arakan Army, Tan Miyat Naing , denied the possibility of interviewing the French newspaper La Figaro , saying there was no such possibility. Because he said that the conflict with the Muslims in Myanmar is different from the Muslims, so the Arakan army has the intention of involvement.
But this kind of cooperation will not happen in the future, it can not be said by swf. If so, it would be more alarming for Myanmar forces in the North Rakhine region. At the same time, Bangladesh's Rohingya crisis will be more complex. That region will become more uneasy.
