to settlers. Amanullah and Enatullah provided testimony on how entire villages were bulldozed to make room or space for AA bases. Sabeku Nahar testifies that the land that the Rohingya community was forced to abandon is now being systematically cleared and used for military expansion. The AA, along with other authorities, is leveling large areas to build military bases. This further solidified their control over the region. These bases serve as strongholds, effectively ensuring that the Rohingya people can never return to reclaim their rightful homes, lands, or properties. At the same time, the houses left behind by the Rohingya are being looted and deliberately destroyed. Many homes are being set on fire, burning to the ground, while others are torn down using heavy machinery, erasing all traces of the families that once lived there. This destruction is not random; it is a calculated effort to eliminate any evidence of Rohingya presence in the area. By demolishing homes and wiping out entire villages, they are not only preventing the community from returning but also erasing their history and rightful claim to the land. The widespread burning and destruction of Rohingya properties reveal a clear intent to permanently displace the community and the reality of its existence in Rakhine State. The land and the village properties that stay behind are being redistributed to the non-Rohingya community. A similar pattern has been reflected in one newspaper article that explicitly stated that The United League of Arakan (ULA)/AA has been systematically displacing Rohingya communities in Buthidaung Township, forcibly removing them from their homes and subsequently relocating Rakhine families into the emptied villages, as it is stated in their report, “Following AA’s military operations in Buthidaung Township that began around March 2024, many Rohingya villages were reportedly burned, and Rohingyas were forcibly expelled by AA troops. After taking full control of Buthidaung Township, AA reportedly forced the evacuation of around 30 Rohingya villages. These now-vacant original Rohingya villages are being repopulated with Rakhine families under AA’s program, and many Rakhine communities have also been expanding their territory into these former Rohingya areas.” Zomila Khatun also comes up with a similar story to that of the other survivors. In her narrative, she also says that the AA seizes land that belongs to the displaced Rohingya community. Every piece of property, including homes, farmland, and other owned spaces, has been forcefully taken 80
