In Myanmar’s Rakhine state, another ethnic group besides the Rohingya has been fighting for its rights and recognition.
The ethnic Arakan people have been battling the Myanmar government for decades, and in 2009 founded their own armed group, the Arakan Army, in 2009.
Thousands have fled the violence into neighbouring Chin State and are now living in camps because of the recent spike in violence.

#AlJazeeraEnglish #Myanmar #Arakan
Some Burmese people are as stupid as their Government. Rohiynga’s don’t even speak Bengali. It doesn’t matter where they came from what matters is that they are living in Burma long enough to be citizen of the country. In Bangladesh people of all Tribes like Chakma,Marma study in public universities,work in Hospitals,Ministries,Military moreover they get special Quota reserved for them in every sector. It’s a shame that the stupid Burmese army doesn’t even consider them as Burmese citizen. Your country will never progress when you don’t give people their rights and treat them equally.
It’s the Americans doing, get them out off that country.
Arakan is not rohinja
Who behind all troubles in Myanmar ?? Who arming and supporting all the troubles.. well china commies are behind all the troubles.. china never want its neighbours to be democracy.. to be better in both economical and political
oh god not another load of refugees from Burma arriving in India.
Burma really needs to get its governance straight.
Her noble laureate has been into water
Burmese army need to be destroyed. Really hope there are somebody fund rohingnya to fight this cruel army. There is only way for them to survive.
Wherever there is conflicts, you will see Americans.
Irrelevant in this case
And islamic state, Taliban, Al Qaeda etc.
Cheers to Myanmar for defending their country. The Bengali’s should go back to there country.
Take back your Rohinga people from Bangladesh
abdur rahman rony I’m neither From Myanmar nor Asian to begin with. They’re you’re people, you keep them.
Hello Burma from Vietnam 😬
Rasis Country
If this is another islamic troublers problem al jazz you are trouble makers for non islamic states. We do not appreciate this
Arakan army is Buddhist and they are fighting against govt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Buddhist Vs Buddhist
@sultan mirja don’t be fool .armie s job is to defence the country. Religion do not mean any difference. It’s a nice joke .just like Buddhist countries should not do their defensive activities being Buddhist.
Ths muslim world is focusing so much on israel when the jews are the rightful owner of jerusalem.
Myanmar hate muslim and they don’t want Muslim in their country
Problems is that why Muslim countries never aacept Muslim refugees
Arakan army and arakan salvation army is different.

@Crazy Joe Arakan army r rohingya army AK na…. Uni arakan armir kotha boltese
Burma is teroris rasis radikal
Rohingya should have joined them…rather than running away fled to other country
They wouldn’t let them, they also consider Rohingya to be outsiders
@Commander Red maybe they should learn to work with each other..or else they will never be able to beat Myanmar
@Momo Taro If only 🙁
hahahaha
what happened in last big sectarian riot between Buddhist and Islam is rohinya hunting arkan people with spear and gun because they hate Buddhist and Hindu there.
you want them becoming a one?
you stupid or nuts?
the right thing to do is make arkan people got their right and push British aka England to responsible for bring Muslim Bengal aka rohinya from India to arkan land during colonial era.
Momo Taro yes they should fight together if they want freedom of their land.
Can I volunteer to train these females 😉 ?
Yes i can help too

When there is a dispute between big country and small country – UN interferes and small country disappears,
When there is a dispute between two small countries – UN interferes and the two small countries disappears,
When there is a dispute between two big countries – UN interferes and disappears.
Give us example. This statement is illogic.

Give me 10,000 troops and 15 ton of Sarin and see this rebellion end in 10 days

Such a nice guy.
Lol bro, Arakan army have already caought your 17 commander🤣🤣… Now chill…. 😎
Arakan Are terrorists!
arakan are the genuine people in that area.
As a russian I think every internal issue is the country s internal affair.
Orthodox power gulags were concentration camps to control dissidents and ethnic minorities.
@Orthodox power you are not communist anymore, but under Putin most likely you would be conscripted to fight the Europeans in the future. Sometimes, your internal affair implosion causing distress to others, the refugees influx into others’ people lands is not simply internal affair anymore but a global concern.
@Kucing Meow I will fight the europeans with pleasure if they support ukrainian neonazis.
Yes refugees from Myanmar sadly leave the country but that s because the militias that fight the government get foreign support.
@Stuart Hastie I know what s a gulag lol. I m asking what a gulag has to do with Myanmar?
Orthodox power
For close to a decade, Myamar Junta has been constructing such places for the Rohingya. Sumtimes they simply isolate a village and surround it with barbed wire and watch towers. Food, water, electricity. education, education, employment, are all greatly, sometimes totally restricted. Access is denied to UN and international observers.
Often the Rohingya are moved to new sites away from their ancestral property. This in part may be a land grab so China can complete its pipeline from the Bay of Bengal. In part it may be because these pieces of land are required for other development.
they are doing good training ………..whole community as military …we should do the same take over corrupt gov and greedy dumb military then turn country in to military camp …everyone will know the true meaning of life
Subsist opia
Sounds like a caliphate.
Poor country poor ppl
Myanmar should separate into 9 piece for a peaceful environment
BD Pride because Islam can’t coexist?
Aarohi Hasan
China will never allow that. Besides inter ethnic violence would continue.
@Sunil Bhardwaj Co-existent and self-determination is not suitable in Indians mouth
Jihadis at work! These chaps are a menace
The Rhohingas should have to join this army for their freedom.
This army also consider them as foreigners.
I think they will prefer the islamic state
We love Arakan army from Bangladesh ! They are fighting for freedom !
Sohrab Hossain Forhad
Check them out on Amnesty International.
Hoping that they must be achieved victory one day👊👊👊
It’s time to send Rambo in lol
If there is one country that needs to be nuked hard. It’s Myanmar! truly a useless country who has zero respect for human life…
The rohingas should go back and fight. They are a very big hindrance for bangladesh. The natural beauty of cox’s bazar is being destroyed for their camps.😑
Heisenberg I am so agree. They should not run away. They should create some kind of organization and fight back
Stewie Griffin
China will protect its oil pipeline and put a high tech naval base on the Bay of Bengal. The Rohingya stand no chance.
Gangsta hutan
It is the Burmese Army they are afraid of. ARSA are hiding in the mountains and in this video they are short of guns never saw more than 10 real guns in one camera shot.
i think the story against that government has just began.
The worst ever Asean country…

Indonesia was worse. Early 60s and East Timor.

Stupid burmese army and government.

Welove Arakan Army
Burmese government are successed for divived and rules .. In Rakhine they divided Rohinga and Arakan race, meanwhile Burmese frist did Rohinga ethnic cleansing now going same thing with Arakan . if Rohinga and Arakan were united, Burmese army couldn’t occupied their home land by force.

Good job myanmar government
Burmese are bullshit
If you read the history the Burmese governments are good at using people as puppets. And the ethnics people never learn. Honestly MONEY MONEY! They need to stop thinking about money and realize humans life’s has value and money don’t.
Can anyone tell me how many rebel armies are there in Burma? They seem to be everywhere, north, south, east and west. Taken the world as a whole, Burma should win the gold medal by the number of rebel groups inside its borders.
Cecilia Peng pretty much every ethnic minority tribe has its own rebel army. They have all been oppressed since independence. I was kidnapped by the Shan State Revolutionary Army, the Katchin independence Army and the Lahu independence Army, all living in the same camp.
I’ve no hard feelings.
It is a failed state. everything is up for grabs if you have enough resources to take on the army.
Lord Ezra
The Junta is holding all the cards. The army has had 60 yrs of non stop experience of jungle warfare. Have near total control of the economy. Are backed by China, who want to protect their oil pipeline from bay of Bengal and build a naval base there. The Junta is no pushover.
Lord Ezra
PS. From my experience, the tribal armies are poorly equipped and exaggerate their numbers ten fold. They also squabble with each other. There are ideological differences, the Shan State Revolutionary army are communist and in alliance with other tribes, but the Shan State Army is facist and despises true tribals.
🙏
Who has noticed that the oil pipe to China passes through Arakan ? China wants security for this pipe and probably wants a naval base on the Bay of Bengal. China doesn’t want terrorists sitting on the pipe.
That is what happened when they follow the power hungry fool Rakhine leader.

We love arakan army
Yes 😭
We Nagas with you Arakan stay strong
stupid burmese government.. eventhough i didnt like rohingya but this mess were created by burmese gov and spread the mess all over the ASEAN countries.. let me give my opinion to solve this problem.. give Rakhine state to the Rohingya and separate them from burma then this issue will be over.. support and development after that, let rohingya find by their own self. Rohingya in Malaysia makes more worst than good and they should going back to their own land
Just drop 20 Tsar hydrogen bombs on Mynammer to solve the issue.
NEVER let Islam into your Country.
Does anyone know where these small armies get their funding from? Looks like they have weapons, uniforms, stations, training equipment, etc. I’m just curious. Thanks!
Fievel Mousekewitz Traditionally it used to be mainly from opium farming/heroin. Now there are also meth labs/ivory & exotic wildlife/illegal logging/jade mining/toll & taxation of smuggling routes or roads to neighbouring countries. It’s a Wild West up there.
1:48 shame on Suchi 👎👎👎
Rakhienya (Rohingya) has been expelled because the China want to built deep seaport and piping facilities of oil and gas to distribute to mainland China in Rakhine Country.
First they came for the rohingya, and i didn’t speak up because i wasn’t rohingya…
Madaricod mayanmar torist country mayanmar.
We are india always support Mayanmar army
Not India please tell fundamentalist Hindu govt support Myanmar
Ally with Bengali and attacking Myanmar Military!
Traitors
You Rohingyas are Bengali, You all are chinese.. Because all of you looks like chinese
Go ahead AA. I heard only AA recognize rohingga as a citizen from Myanmar. AA demands like WA state confederacy that means their own army , own currency and they trying a establish a headquarter. But i am ashamed where they get arms , probably from WA state army backed by China. Actually ,China what wants from Burma. I fear that if the international party evolved here Myanmar will be broke into several independent.Ultimately, beneficial for India and Bangladesh . I heard from a newspaper , where Bangladesh foreign minister said one superpower country asked for BD if they want help. But, minister did not revealed this country name , most probably USA. Interestingly, minister refused to take help, because USA want a set up military base in a bay of bengal. If BD goverment allow USA millitary base in a Snt. martin islands it will be matter of minute of minutes independent Arakan or part of BD. But BD people and goverment do not want a foreign military base in their soil.
Myanmar Army are Criminal Army ,, 💀💀💀💀💀💀
We arakan army for need to everything we army now best trying fight burma army and we need to international helps now we citizen arakan people for burma army every day kill for the under died we arakan people.
