What does the Arakan Army’s victory in Rakhine State mean for the Rohingya?

Writer's picture: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

With exploding bombs and shells still audible in the distance, Mohamed* has had little choice but to bide his time since August in a village under the control of the Arakan Army (AA) in Rakhine State’s Maungdaw Township, where he fled after clashes between the AA and Myanmar military forced him out of his home. 


The village, some six miles outside of Maungdaw’s urban centre, now hosts around 1,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in addition to its 1,500 longtime Rohingya residents. Many Rohingya from Maungdaw and nearby parts of northern Rakhine State have also fled to Bangladesh.
