Rohingya 15 GENOCIDE DAY As the AA's attacks on Rohingya areas intensified, on August 5, 2024, thousands of Rohingya from Myoma Taung, Myoma Kayin Dan, and Maung Ni villages gathered at the Naf River bank in an attempt to flee to Bangladesh. However, after they assembled there, the AA dropped dozens of drone bombs, leading to a massacre that claimed the lives of more than 200 people, including children, women, and the elderly. At one instant, the AA didn’t even a boat fleeing, dropping a bomb that killed everyone on board. Only two survived. The next day, at least two boats sank, and many dead bodies washed ashore in Bangladesh. As of now, downtown Maungdaw is empty. All Rohingya have been forced to leave their homes under what the Arakan Army (AA) calls "evacuation." However, this is not an evacuation; it is forced relocation. The AA has a policy of cleansing the Rohingya from Buthidaung and Maungdaw Townships. This plan was revealed in a private conversation by Twan Morn Naing, the elder brother of AA chief Twan Mrat Naing, but was leaked. Ten years ago, an article in Foreign Policy also revealed the AA's religious motives, shedding light on their long-standing agenda against the Rohingya. Undoubtedly, the crimes committed by the Arakan Army (AA) against the Rohingya amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes. Discussing AA’s crimes does not imply that the military has stopped committing crimes against the Rohingya. Since mid-February this year, the military has conscripted Rohingya youth in Sittwe, Buthidaung, and Kyauk Phyu forcibly. Some have been forced to fight against the AA on the battlefield, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. The conscripts were also forced to burn Rakhine and Hindu houses in Buthidaung. News reports and other sources suggest about 2,000 homes were burned. Those familiar with the situation have said the burning of Rakhine and Hindu houses was led by the chief of the Tactical Command Office in Buthidaung. The military has allied with so-called Rohingya armed groups such as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), Arakan Rohingya Army (ARA), and Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO). The majority of Rohingya regard these groups as criminal gangs. They fought against the AA, but when the military retreated, they fled with the military. Their collaboration has nothing to do with the Rohingya people. If they have committed crimes against individuals or groups, they alone are responsible for their actions. In conclusion, the Myanmar military has enjoyed impunity since 1962. The world continues to allow this impunity, enabling the military to commit crimes, and since the coup in 2021, the entire population has been suffering as a result. Now, the AA has become an additional oppressor for the Rohingya. If the AA enjoys impunity like the military, the future of the Rohingya in Arakan is bleak. This impunity must end. While the military is under sanctions from Western governments, the AA needs similar sanctions to prevent further atrocities against the Rohingya. Given the severity of the international crimes committed against the Rohingya, the world must find a way to deliver justice. The AA must be held accountable.
