The Thai authorities should urgently provide protection to survivors and prosecute those responsible for abuses.

Out of the Spotlight, Myanmar’s Rohingya Face Worst Violence in 7 Years

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The situation of the Rohingya is deteriorating in the absence of credible dialogue.
• In Rakhine, forcible recruitment of Rohingya fighters has deepened societal rifts.
• An initiative is needed to address the Rohingya community as a whole, focusing on their immediate needs and future.

Since early 2024, fighting in northern Rakhine state has led to the worst attacks on the Rohingya population since 2017, when Myanmar’s military drove more than 750,000 across the border into Bangladesh. The new attacks are a stark reminder of the Rohingyas’ vulnerability. The world has known about their plight for decades, and in 2024, only 636,000 Rohingya — or 23 percent of the 2.8 million Rohingya around the world — still live in their homeland, Myanmar.

Road from Rakhine: The uncertain fate of Rohingyas

The escalating violence against the Rohingya by the Arakan Army underscores the reality that, regardless of who assumes power, the future of the Rohingyas remains uncertain

The rise in deadly attacks on Rohingya people in Myanmar’s Rakhine State since May 2024 bears a chilling resemblance to the atrocities committed in August 2017, when the military forced Rohingyas to flee by attacking and burning down settlements. Nearly seven years later, similar scenes of Rohingya men, women, and children being slayed or escaping to neighbouring nations are unfolding, reflecting a continued erasure of Rohingya history and identity. Only this time, the preparator is an ethnic armed group.

A new genocide being committed in Rakhine

Published : Monday, 9 September, 2024 

Before the memory of the '2017 Rohingya genocide' fades, the world is regrettably witnessing a new wave of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya people, one that is perhaps more vicious and brutal.

The military of Myanmar unleashed a ruthless offensive against the Rohingya people in 2017, sparking the most brutal wave of anti-Rohingya persecution. Subsequently, the head of the UN agency for human rights described the military's actions as "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing," "acts of horrific barbarity," and an "acts of genocide." About a million Rohingya were compelled to escape to Bangladesh, a neighbor, as a result of the persecution.

In a study conducted in January 2018 with a total of 3,321 Rohingya refugee households in Cox's Bazar, a UN Fact-Finding Mission estimated that the military and the local Rakhine Buddhists had killed at least 25,000 Rohingya and committed gang rapes and other forms of sexual violence against 18,000 Rohingya women and girls. According to their estimates, 36,000 Rohingya were burned alive and 116,000 others were beaten, an atrocities unseen since 1994 Rwandan genocide.
