What is Bangladesh worried about?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh said on the 26th that thousands of "Burmese civilians" gathered in the border area of Rakhine State and "tried to enter Bangladesh". Bangladesh is worried about this situation.

According to September 1, the Myanmar government announced on September 1 that since August 25th, many police stations and posts in Rakhine State in western Myanmar have been attacked and 17 innocent citizens have been killed by armed elements. In the fierce battle with militants, the National Defence Force has killed 370 terrorists, and another 15 government soldiers were killed. Agence France-Presse reported that the armed conflict was the worst in Rakhine State in the past five years, and at least 400 people were killed.

On August 3 1 day, it was reported that the press release committee of Myanmar's state-owned government reported the attack in Rakhine State on the evening of 30th. According to the report, since the early morning of the 25th, there have been many attacks in Mengdu and other places in Rakhine State. The Myanmar Defence Force and the local police force began to clear the scene and carry out anti-terrorist operations, and exchanged fire with local armed groups several times. According to a circular issued by the Myanmar government on 27th, the Myanmar Central Counter-Terrorism Committee has confirmed that extremist terrorists and the Salvation Army of Luo Xing in Rakhine State participated in terrorist attacks in Mengdu and other places. It is reported that about 1000 militants launched a series of attacks in the early hours of the 25th.

Meanwhile, it was reported on the 30th that members of the Rohingya Salvation Army in Rakhine State set fire to a village in Mengdu District on the 28th, resulting in 7 deaths, 5 injuries and 2 missing. On the morning of 30th, the Salvation Army of Luo Xing in Rakhine State also set fire to a residential area in Mengdu, causing 22 houses to catch fire.

On September 2nd, it was reported that the UN source 1 revealed that about 38,000 Rohingyas crossed the border from Myanmar into Bangladesh a week after Rohingya militants attacked several police posts and military bases in Rakhine State.

It is reported that Rakhine State is located in the west of Myanmar, and the local Rakhine people who believe in Buddhism and the Rohingya people who believe in Islam have long been at odds. 20 12 from may to June, Rakhine and rohingya clashed over a criminal case, and hundreds of people died. The Myanmar government then implemented emergency measures in Rakhine State, and the situation eased.

In June 5438+10 last year, three border police stations in Rakhine State were attacked and nine policemen were killed. The Myanmar government determined that this was a terrorist attack, and the National Defence Force subsequently launched a clean-up operation in Rakhine State and exchanged fire with armed personnel several times. In February this year, the clean-up operation ended. The Salvation Army in Luo Xing, Rakhine State, is believed to be the murderer of the attack on June 5438+ 10 last year, and carried out many assassinations. The organization claimed on the social networking site on the 25th that the attack was launched to "liberate the oppressed people".

Rohingyas mainly live in Rakhine State, Bangladesh and other countries. The Myanmar government regards Luo Xing ATV as an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh and has never recognized Rohingya as a citizen of Myanmar.

Since 25th, thousands of Rakhine civilians, including local government employees, teachers and other public officials, have been transferred to safe places such as military camps and police posts. Myanmar media reported on the 28th that about 400 primary and secondary schools in Rakhine State have been closed, and about 4,000 Rakhine people have taken refuge in Sittwe, the state capital.
