⏵ Enforced Prohibitions: Geographical Control, Movement Restrictions & Confinement Of Rohingya Rohingya testimonies consistently highlight movement restrictions as an important means of control and domination. This methodology of taking up total control originally emanated under the military regime, but was intensified by the AA after it assumed control of most parts of the Rakhine. The recent frequent clashes (from 2024 onwards) between the AA and the military junta have further worsened the Rohingya community's situation. Psychological warfare and other means of artillery attacks often target or inadvertently affect them, pushing the community into a state of constant fear and vulnerability. Despite being caught in the crossfire, the Rohingya community receives little to no protection or support, exacerbating their already dire conditions. Taking up places in attacks opened up an opportunity for the AA to impose geographical control. The group resorted to old tactics initiated by the military regime, which included isolating the community from reaching out to places of their choice by imposing severe restrictions. Even under the military regime, they were not easily allowed to travel to places without a Tokenza (travel authorization letter) and other mandatory documents. Image 1.
