Rohingya people
The Rohingya people (/ˈroʊɪndʒə/, /ˈroʊhɪndʒə/, /ˈroʊɪŋjə/, or /ˈroʊhɪŋjə/)[20] are Muslim Indo-Aryan peoples from
the Rakhine State, Myanmar.[1][21][22]
According to the Rohingyas and some scholars, they are indigenous to Rakhine State, while other historians claim
that the group represents a mixture of precolonial and colonial immigrations. The official stance of the Myanmar
government, however, has been that the Rohingyas are mainly illegal immigrants who migrated into Arakan
following Burmese independence in 1948 or after the Bangladesh liberation war in 1971.[23][24][25][26][27][28][5][29]
Muslims have settled in Rakhine State (also known as Arakan) since the 15th century, although the number of
Muslim settlers before British rule is unclear.[30] Despite debates concerning its origins,[24] the term "Rohingya", in
the form of Rooinga, first appeared in 1799 in an article about a language spoken by Muslims claiming to be natives
of Arakan. In 1826, after the First Anglo-Burmese War, the British annexed Arakan and encouraged migrations
from Bengal to work as farm laborers. The Muslim population may have constituted 5% of Arakan's population by
1869, although estimates for earlier years give higher numbers. Successive British censuses of 1872 and 1911
recorded an increase in Muslim population from 58,255 to 178,647 in Akyab District. During the Second World
War, the Arakan massacres in 1942 involved communal violence between British-armed V Force Rohingya recruits
and Buddhist Rakhine people and the region became increasingly ethnically polarized.[31] After Burmese
independence in 1948, the mujahideen rebellion began as a separatist movement to merge the region into the East
Pakistan and continued into the 1960s, along with the Arkanese Independence Movement by Rakhine Buddhists.
The rebellion left enduring mistrust and hostilities in both Muslim and Buddhist communities. In 1982, General Ne
Win's government enacted the Burmese nationality law, which denied Rohingya citizenship, rendering a majority of
Rohingya population stateless.[1] Since the 1990s, the term "Rohingya" has increased in usage among Rohingya
communities.[24][29]
Prior to the 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis and the military crackdown in 2016 and 2017, the Rohingya population in
Myanmar was around 1.1 to 1.3 million[4][5][6][1][4] They reside mainly in the northern Rakhine townships, where they
form 80–98% of the population.[29] Many Rohingyas have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh,[32] to areas along the
border with Thailand, and to the Pakistani city of Karachi.[33] More than 100,000 Rohingyas in Myanmar live in
camps for internally displaced persons, not allowed by authorities to leave.[34][35] Probes by the UN have found
evidence of increasing incitement of hatred and religious intolerance by "ultra-nationalist Buddhists" against
Rohingyas while the Burmese security forces have been conducting "summary executions, enforced
disappearances, arbitrary arrests and detention, torture and ill-treatment and forced labour" against the community.
[36] International media and human rights organizations have often described Rohingyas as one of the most
persecuted minorities in the world.[37][38][39] According to the United Nations, the human rights violations against
Rohingyas could be termed as "crimes against humanity".[36][40] Rohingyas have received international attention in
the wake of the 2012 Rakhine State riots, the 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis, and the 2016–17 military crackdown.

Who are the Rohingya?
03 JUN 2015
The plight of Rohingya Muslim migrants from Myanmar has gained worldwide attention as they seek refuge in
neighbouring countries, but this is not a recent problem, writes Anthony Measures.
The migrant crisis in Southeast Asia in the first half of 2015 has brought the situation of the Rohingya Muslim
community of Myanmar into the international spotlight. Thousands of refugees, mainly Rohingya, have left Myanmar
on crowded boats seeking refuge in neighbouring countries. While this phenomenon has been going on for some time
(as discoveries in May 2015 of mass graves of trafficked refugees in Thailand revealed), the scale of the crisis is now
far greater than has previously been seen. Furthermore, the international crisis is a reflection of what is happening inside
Myanmar, where at least 6,000 people were newly internally displaced in 2014. Many of the displaced Rohingya
Muslim community now live in refugee camps along the Myanmar-Thailand border, from Mae Hong Son in the north to
Tham Hin in the south. Conditions in the camps have been condemned by a number of international organisations,
including the United Nations.
“
The crisis has been seized upon by global Jihadi groups.
”
The situation has been the subject of extensive international condemnation, including from the Association of South
East Asian Nations (ASEAN). On 29 May 2015 the organisation agreed to work together to stem migration from
Myanmar, with Indonesia and Malaysia stating that they would continue to provide temporary shelter for the refugees
and a joint task force would co-ordinate assistance to countries dealing with migrants. However, the crisis has also been
seized upon by global jihadi groups from al-Qaeda to ISIS. These have, in numerous public statements, called for
jihadis to go to the aid of the Rohingya. In the past, there have been allegations that Rohingya groups were been linked
with al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but there are not thought to be any active Rohingya jihadi groups.
Myanmar is a country closely linked with Buddhism. Religious demographics show that 75 per cent of the population
identifies as Buddhist, eight per cent are Christian and four per cent are Muslim. The Rohingya population, the majority
of whom are Muslim, originated in what is today Bangladesh, although there is extensive evidence that the population
has long been established in the region of Myanmar formerly known as Arakan, officially designated Rakhine State in
1989.
The population of the Rohingya in Rakhine State varies, but it is thought to number between 800,000 and 1.3 million
out of a total state population of 3.3 million. The group is believed to be of mixed ancestry, tracing its origins both to
outsiders (Arabs, Turks, Persians, Moguls and Pathans) and to local Bengali and Rakhine. They speak a version of
Chittagonian, a regional dialect of Bengali, which is also used extensively throughout southeastern Bangladesh.
The Rohingya are not only present in Myanmar: estimates show there are 250,000–350,000 in Pakistan; 250,000–
500,000 in Saudi Arabia; 200,000–500,000 in Bangladesh; 20,000–45,000 in Malaysia; and 3,000–20,000 in Thailand.
History of Persecution
The debate around the status of the Rohingya within Myanmar dates back to 1947 when the country gained
independence. The founding constitution declared that citizens were those defined as an "indigenous race" including the
Arakanese, originating from Arakan (Rakhine State), which at the time was understood to include the Rohingya.
“
Myanmar's political opening did nothing to stem the discrimination.
”
However, from 1962, when General Ne Win seized power in a coup d'etat, successive military-backed regimes in
Myanmar have persecuted the Rohingya Muslims. The first major assault accompanied the Bangladeshi War of
Independence in 1971, which led to many Bengalis fleeing to Myanmar. In 1978, a Myanmar government campaign
known as Naga Min aimed to force the refugees from the country. There were arbitrary arrests, desecration of mosques,
destruction of villages, and confiscation of lands. The close identification of Rohingya Muslims with Bangladeshi
refugees led to large numbers of Rohingya fleeing to Bangladesh, where the government set up makeshift camps and
appealed to the United Nations for aid and assistance.
While some official refugee camps were set up, an agreement between Bangladesh and Myanmar in July 1978 allowed
for the repatriation of 200,000 refugees back to Myanmar. By the end of 1979, roughly 180,000 Rohingya had returned
to Rakhine state, despite refugee protests that resulted in hundreds of deaths.
In July 1991 the Myanmar government launched another campaign against the Rohingya, known as Operation Pyi
(Clean and Beautiful Nation), the purpose of which was to scrutinise each individual within the state, to determine
whether they were a citizen or "illegal immigrant." This led to around 250,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing to
Bangladesh and could be seen as the beginning of the refugee situation, which has led to many Rohingya today living in
makeshift camps as stateless people.
Myanmar's political opening did nothing to stem the discrimination. Rakhine state has for several years seen violent
clashes led by Buddhist nationalists, who believe, according to one slogan, "to be Burmese is to be Buddhist." Further
violence broke out in 2012 between Buddhist nationalists and Rohingya Muslims, and by November 2014 the United
Nations was reporting that over 100,000 Rohingya Muslims had been displaced since 2012, with an average of 900 per
day fleeing the country. The 969 Movement, a Buddhist nationalist movement led by Ashin Wirathu which actively
preaches anti-Muslim sentiment, is thought to have been behind much of the incitement to violence during this period.
Citizenship.
However, violent persecution is not the only issue facing the Rohingya community. Since 1982, a series of legal
changes has challenged the status of the community's presence in Myanmar. The 1982 Citizenship Law defined citizens
as members of ethnic groups that had permanently settled within the boundaries of modern-day Myanmar, prior to
1823. While an earlier citizenship law had included the Arakanese (which was deemed to include the Rohingya), the
1982 version did not, excluding the Rohingya from both full and associate citizenship.
Following this, in 1994 the government stopped issuing Rohingya children birth certificates and later began to require
the Muslim population to be granted official permission from local authorities to marry (this practice has never been
confirmed in law).
Citizenship remains an issue for the Rohingya since 2011. The recent census, the first to be carried out in 30 years, left
the group off its list of ethnicities. The term Rohingya is controversial in the country, with both government and
Rakhine Buddhists suggesting that the term has no historical or legal basis. It has been explained to the UN Special
Rapporteur on Myanmar in 2015 that to validate the Rohingya as an ethnic group could allow a claim of indigenous
status and corresponding rights under the Constitution. It is because of this that the government classified Rohingya
Muslims as Bengali, which links their ethnic origins to Bangladesh.
“
The Rohingya Muslim community has endured years of uncertainty.
”
The Rakhine State Action Plan, which has been in draft form since October 2014 has caused further controversy.
International organisations, including the United Nations, have raised concerns that the plan would fall below
international human rights standards. In particular, they have suggested certain measures that would classify Rohingya
as Bengali, could render them "illegal" and subject them to possible prolonged internment in temporary camps or
removal from the country altogether. However, in February 2015 the government announced that it would revoke
temporary identification cards (so-called white cards) for minorities in Myanmar, which gave them temporary
citizenship. The Rohingya Muslim community was the main recipient of these cards. In December 2014 the government
also announced the submission of four bills, known as the 'National Race and Religious Protection' package: the
Interfaith Marriage Bill, the Religious Conversion Bill, the Monogamy Bill and the Population Control Bill. These bills
are also widely regarded as targeting minority communities.
The Rohinyga Muslim community has endured years of uncertainty over its status and the citizenship of its members,
resulting in a crisis affecting the entire region. The words and phrases, 'stateless', 'unwanted' and the 'the world's most
persecuted religious minority,' often used about the group, appear to hold firm today, even as the international
community attempts to rally support.

Why are the more than one million Rohingya in Myanmar considered the 'world's most
persecuted minority'?

The Rohingya are often described as "the world's most persecuted minority".
Due to ongoing violence and persecution, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled to neighbouring
countries either by land or boat over the course of many decades.
The Arakan Rohingya National Organisation has said, "Rohingyas have been living in Arakan from time
immemorial," referring to the area now known as Rakhine.
During the more than 100 years of British rule (1824-1948), there was a significant amount of migration of
labourers to what is now known as Myanmar from today's India and Bangladesh. Because the British
administered Myanmar as a province of India, such migration was considered internal, according to Human
Rights Watch (HRW).
The migration of labourers was viewed negatively by the majority of the native population.
After independence, the government viewed the migration that took place during British rule as "illegal, and
it is on this basis that they refuse citizenship to the majority of Rohingya," HRW said in a 2000 report.
This has led many Buddhists to consider the Rohingya as Bengali, rejecting the term Rohingya as a recent
invention, created for political reasons.

How and why are they being persecuted? And why aren't they recognised?
Shortly after Myanmar's independence from the British in 1948, the Union Citizenship Act was passed,
defining which ethnicities could gain citizenship. According to a 2015 report by the International Human
Rights Clinic at Yale Law School, the Rohingya were not included. The act, however, did allow those whose
families had lived in Myanmar for at least two generations to apply for identity cards.
Rohingya were initially given such identification or even citizenship under the generational provision. During
this time, several Rohingya also served in parliament.
After the 1962 military coup in Myanmar, things changed dramatically for the Rohingya. All citizens were
required to obtain national registration cards. The Rohingya, however, were only given foreign identity cards,
which limited the jobs and educational opportunities they could pursue and obtain.
In 1982, a new citizenship law was passed, which effectively rendered the Rohingya stateless. Under the law,
Rohingya were again not recognised as one of the country's 135 ethnic groups. The law established three
levels of citizenship. In order to obtain the most basic level (naturalised citizenship), there must be proof that
the person's family lived in Myanmar prior to 1948, as well as fluency in one of the national languages. Many
Rohingya lack such paperwork because it was either unavailable or denied to them.
As a result of the law, their rights to study, work, travel, marry, practice their religion and access health
services have been and continue to be restricted. The Rohingya cannot vote and even if they jump through
the citizenship test hoops, they have to identify as "naturalised" as opposed to Rohingya, and limits are
placed on them entering certain professions like medicine, law or running for office.
Since the 1970s, a number of crackdowns on the Rohingya in Rakhine State have forced hundreds of
thousands to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh, as well as Malaysia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian
countries. During such crackdowns, refugees have often reported rape, torture, arson and murder by
Myanmar security forces.
After the killings of nine border police in October 2016, troops started pouring into villages in Rakhine State.
The government blamed what it called fighters from an armed Rohingya group. The killings led to a security
crackdown on villages where Rohingya lived. During the crackdown, government troops were accused of an
array of human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killing, rape and arson - allegations the government
denied.
In November 2016, a UN official accused the government of carrying out "ethnic cleansing" of Rohingya
Muslims. It was not the first time such an accusation has been made.
In April 2013, for example, HRW said Myanmar was conducting a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the
Rohingya. The government has consistently denied such accusations.
Most recently, Myanmar's military has imposed a crackdown on the country's Rohingya population after
police posts and an army base were attacked in late August.
Residents and activists have described scenes of troops firing indiscriminately at unarmed Rohingya men,
women and children. The government, however, has said nearly 100 people were killed after armed men
from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) launched a raid on police outposts in the region.
Since the violence erupted, rights groups have documented fires burning in at least 10 areas of Myanmar's
Rakhine State. More than 50,000 people have fled the violence, with thousands trapped in a no-man's land
between the two countries.
According to the UN, hundreds of civilians who
have tried to enter Bangladesh have been pushed
back by patrols. Many have also been detained and
forcibly returned to Myanmar.
How many Rohingya have fled Myanmar and where have they gone?
Since the late 1970s, nearly one million Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar due to widespread
persecution.
According to the most recently available data from the United Nations in May, more than 168,000 Rohingya
have fled Myanmar since 2012.
Following violence that broke out last year, more than 87,000 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh from October
2016 to July 2017, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Many Rohingya also risked their lives trying to get to Malaysia by boat across the Bay of Bengal and the
Andaman Sea. Between 2012 and 2015, more than 112,000 made the dangerous journey.
The UN estimated that there are as many as 420,000 Rohingya refugees in Southeast Asia. Additionally,
there are around 120,000 internally displaced Rohingya.
The violence in Myanmar's northwest that began in late August has forced around 58,000 Rohingya to flee
across the border into Bangladesh, while another 10,000 are stranded in no-man's land between the two
countries, Reuters reported, citing UN sources.
What do Aung San Suu Kyi and the Myanmar government say about the Rohingya?
State Chancellor Aung San Suu Kyi, who is the de facto leader of Myanmar, has refused to really discuss the
plight of the Rohingya.
Aung San Suu Kyi and her government do not recognise the Rohingya as an ethnic group and have blamed
violence in Rakhine, and subsequent military crackdowns, on those they call “terrorists".
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate does not have control over the military but has been criticised for her failure
to condemn indiscriminate force used by troops, as well as to stand up for the rights of the more than one
million Rohingya in Myanmar.
The government has also repeatedly rejected accusations of abuses. In February 2017, the UN published a
report that found that government troops "very likely" committed crimes against humanity since renewed
military crackdowns began in October 2016.
At the time, the government did not directly address the findings of the report and said it had the "the right
to defend the country by lawful means" against "increasing terrorist activities", adding that a domestic
investigation was enough.
In April, however, Aung San Suu Kyi said in a rare interview with the BBC that the phrase "ethnic cleansing"
was "too strong" a term to describe the situation in Rakhine.
"I don't think there is ethnic cleansing going on," she said. "I think ethnic cleansing is too strong an
expression to use for what is happening.”
WATCH: Will Myanmar heed advocacy for Rohingya rights? (24:35)
When setting up the commission, Aung San Suu Kyi's government said it would abide by its findings. The
commission urged the government to end the highly militarised crackdown on neighbourhoods where
Rohingya live, as well as scrap restrictions on movement and citizenship.
Following the release of the August report, the government welcomed the commission's
recommendations and said it would give the report "full consideration with the view to carrying out the
recommendations to the fullest extent ... in line with the situation on the ground".
The government has often restricted access to northern Rakhine States for journalists and aid workers. Aung
San Suu Kyi's office has also accused aid groups of helping those it considers to be “terrorists".
In January, Yanghee Lee, a UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, said she was denied access
to certain parts of Rakhine and was only allowed to speak to Rohingya who had been pre-approved by the
government.
There are nearly half a million Rohingya refugees living in mostly makeshift camps in Bangladesh. The
majority remain unregistered.
Bangladesh considers most of those who have crossed its borders and are living outside of camps as having
"illegally infiltrated" the country. Bangladesh has often tried to prevent Rohingya refugees from crossing its
border.
In late January, the country resurrected a plan to relocate tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees from
Myanmar to a remote island that is prone to flooding and has also been called "uninhabitable" by rights
groups. Under the plan, which was originally introduced in 2015, authorities would move undocumented
Myanmar nationals to Thengar Char in the Bay of Bengal.
Rights groups have decried the proposal, saying the island completely floods during monsoon season. The
UN also called the forced relocation "very complex and controversial”.
Most recently, the government in Bangladesh has reportedly proposed a joint military operation in Rakhine
to aid Myanmar's battle against armed fighters in the area. The foreign ministry has also expressed fear that
the renewed violence will cause a new influx of refugees to cross its border.

What does the international community say about the Rohingya?
The international community has labelled the Rohingya the "most persecuted minority in the world”.
The UN, as well as several rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have
consistently decried the treatment of the Rohingya by Myanmar and neighbouring countries.
The UN has said that it is "very likely" that the military committed grave human rights abuses in Rakhine
that may amount to war crimes, allegations the government denies.
In March, the UN adopted a resolution to set up an independent, international mission to investigate the
alleged abuses. It stopped short of calling for a Commission of Inquiry, the UN's highest level of
investigation.
The UN investigators must provide a verbal update in September and a full report next year on their findings.
Rights groups have criticised the government's reluctance to accept the UN investigators.
Human Rights Watch warned that Myanmar's government risked getting bracketed with "pariah states" like
North Korea and Syria if it did not allow the UN to investigate alleged crimes.
Most recently, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "deeply concerned" about the ongoing
violence in Rakhine.
"This turn of events is deplorable," the UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein said. "It was predicted
and could have been prevented," said Hussain, adding that "decades of persistent and systematic human
rights violations, including the very violent security responses to the attacks since October 2016, have almost
certainly contributed to the nurturing of violent extremism, with everyone ultimately losing."
Both UN officials said they completely supported the findings of the advisory commission, led by Kofi Annan,
and urged the government to fulfil its recommendations.
OPINION: The Rohingya crisis and the role of the OIC
The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), formerly known as the al-Yaqeen Faith Movement, released a
statement under its new name in March 2017, saying it was obligated to "defend, salvage and protect [the]
Rohingya community”.
The group said it would do so "with our best capacities as we have the legitimate right under international
law to defend ourselves in line with the principle of self defence”.
The statement also said: "We […] declare loud and clear that our defensive attacks have only been aimed at
the oppressive Burmese regime in accordance with international norms and principles until our demands are
fulfilled.”
The group has claimed responsibility for an attack on police posts and an army base in Rakhine State.
According to the government nearly 400 people were killed, the majority of whom were members of the
ARSA. Rights groups, however, say hundreds of civilians have been killed by security forces.
Rights group Fortify Rights said it has documented that fighters with the ARSA "are also accused of killing
civilians - suspected government 'informants' - in recent days and months, as well as preventing men and
boys from flee Maungdaw Township".
According to the International Crisis group, the ARSA has ties to Rohingya living in Saudi Arabia.
The Myanmar government formally categorised the group as a "terrorist" organisation on August 25.

The Truth About Myanmar’s Rohingya Issue
It is much more complex than is often portrayed by some.
Nicholas Kristoff’s recent article in The New York Times begins: “Soon the world will witness a remarkable sight: a
beloved Nobel Peace Prize winner presiding over 21st-century concentration camps.” Tens of thousands of Rohingya
have been forcibly confined in deplorable conditions in Sittwe, whilst there is evidence that the ethnic cleansing
perpetrated under the military government amounts to genocide. In May 2015, stranded Rohingya off the coast of
Thailand elicited humanitarian outrage from the international community. Ever since, foreign commentators have called
for an end to what appears to be government inaction or lack of accountability for extreme human rights abuses in
Rakhine state.
But international attention directed at the issue – meant to hold the government accountable –may have in fact
inadvertently played a role in exacerbating tensions between the Rohingya and the Rakhine Burmese. Increasing
resentment is bred within the Rakhine Buddhist community, who believe the situation has been mischaracterized.
In most cases the situation has been mischaracterized. Rakhine history expert Jacques P. Leider may have put it best
in his analysis Rohingya: The Name, The Movement, The Quest for Identity. “By narrowing the debate on the
Rohingyas to the legal and humanitarian aspects, editorialists around the world have taken an easy approach
towards a complicated issue… where issues like ethnicity, history, and cultural identity are key ingredients of
legitimacy,” Leider states.
In even a cursory survey of Rohingya history, it is clear that the Rohingya are not an ethnic, but rather a political
construction. There is evidence that Muslims have been living in Rakhine state (at the time under the Arakan
kingdom) since the 9th century, but a significant number of Muslims from across the bay of Bengal (at the time a
part of India, now Bangladesh) immigrated to British Burma with the colonialists in the 20th century. They are, as
defined by Benedict Rogers (himself a prominent critic of the military regime’s persecution), “Muslims of Bengali
ethnic origin.” The group referred to as “Rohingya” by contemporary Rohingya scholars (and most of the
international community) today actually display huge diversity of ethnic origins and social backgrounds, and, as
Leider argues, the existence of a “single identity” is difficult to pinpoint.
This is not to deny the Rohingya’s claims for citizenship. This is, however, to point out that claims to legitimacy are
much more complicated than is currently understood. As one diplomat told me: “On all issues, the people of Myanmar
are with you. But on the Rohingya issue, the people will never be with you.” What is at the heart of this huge gap
between perspectives of the majority of Burmese and the international community, and how does this inform making
progress on alleviating the genuine humanitarian crisis facing the Rakhine Muslims in Sittwe?
At stake are issues of legitimacy. The international community’s use of the term ‘Rohingya’ validates the narrative of
essentializing a Muslim identity in Rakhine state. In the most conservative terms, we can say that scholars of Rohingya
history have not understood this to conclusively be the case. Yet, the lack of nuance with which the international
community has approached very important issues of legitimacy has contributed to a sense that Rakhine Buddhists are
misunderstood, and besieged. On the other side of the political tension in Rakhine state, as shown by Schissler, Walton
and Phyu Thi’s “listening project” in this series, are Rakhine Buddhists who are genuinely afraid of a (false) Muslim
takeover.
Myanmar remains a rumor driven society. In Kyaw Yin Hlaing’s analysis of Buddhist misapprehension of Muslim
Burmese, surveys were conducted in seven cities in Myanmar, with 500 participants in total. It is clear that anti-Muslim
propaganda has become part of regular nationalist discourse. Of the survey respondents, 85 percent cited fear of
Muslims turning the country Islamic as the main reason for their dislike of Muslims. In Rakhine state, this discourse is
repeated and amplified due to the outbreaks of communal violence.
Yet, in New York Times coverage of the tensions between Muslim and Buddhist Burmese, very few Rakhine Buddhist
voices were heard. When asked why, Kristoff replies, “The problem is the trade-offs with length… we didn’t want to
exceed 10 minutes for fear of losing viewers.” This careless portrayal of the Rohingya’s claims to legitimacy is not just
a matter of academic nit-picking. It has real implications for humanitarian aid.
Just after the May 2015 boat crisis, there were large protests in Sittwe – largely ignored by the rest of the world – by
Rakhine Buddhists protesting misrepresentation of the situation in Sittwe, with protestors carrying signs like “No UN,
No INGOs [international non-governmental organizations].” Protests like this (of which there have been many) are
aimed at the international community, from media to INGOs, and often lead to increased violence in their aftermath.
This makes it more difficult for these INGOs, as well as local NGOs, to deliver humanitarian aid to those in Rakhine
state.
For Aung San Suu Kyi to retain legitimacy where it matters most, it is understandable that she is not outspoken on an
issue that could spark even more violence. As mentioned before, this is not simply a case of the military government
leaving Rakhine state. The NLD must aim to resolve this crisis peacefully, which means cooperating not only with
Rakhine Muslims but also Rakhine Buddhists.
For a Buddhist, Burman-majority nation like Myanmar, it is difficult for Aung San Suu Kyi to portray herself as a
neutral arbiter. Especially in Rakhine state, where most official positions are held by Rakhine Buddhists, it is important
that she be seen as someone understanding to their plight – and therefore someone who can negotiate with them to
potentially seek a humanitarian alternative to the concentration camps of Sittwe. As Aung San Suu Kyi says herself, “If
you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise.”
If she loses legitimacy with them, not only will future negotiations on the Rohingya be closed off to her and the NLD,
but the peace process itself will come under fire for her seeming partisanship, and with it, the entire process of building
Myanmar’s democracy. What happens in Rakhine state will be watched by the rest of the world, but it will be felt most
acutely in Myanmar.
It is important that the international community tread more carefully in their currently unbridled calls for awareness
about the Rohingya issue. The Myanmar people are not unaware that the Muslim minority of Rakhine state are being
mistreated. Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD, deep in negotiations on the peace process, are being constantly reminded
of the importance of granting appropriate rights to ethnic nationalities in Myanmar. Myanmar will not be built in a day,
nor will the camps in Sittwe be torn down in a day. The fact that lives are on the line makes it all the more important
that we channel efforts intelligently.
