  • Conflict and Mass Violence in Arakan (Rakhine State): the 1942 Events and Political Identity Formation
    Jacques P. Leider (Ecole française d’Extrême-Orient, Yangon) February 2017 Conflict and mass violence in Arakan (Rakhine State): the 1942 events and political identity formation Following the Japanese invasion of Lower Burma in early 1942, the British administration in Arakan1 collapsed in late March/early April. In a matter of days, communal violence broke out in the rural areas of central and north Arakan (Akyab and Kyaukphyu districts). Muslim villagers from Chittagong who had settled in Arakan since the late 19th century were attacked, driven away or killed in Minbya, Myebon, Pauktaw and other townships of central Arakan. A few weeks later, Arakanese Buddhist villagers living in the predominantly Muslim townships of Maungdaw and Buthidaung were taken on by Chittagonian Muslims, their villages destroyed and people killed in great numbers. Muslims fled to the north while Buddhists fled to the south and from 1942 to 1945, the Arakanese countryside was ethnically divided between a Muslim north and a Buddhist south. Several thousand Buddhists and Muslims were relocated by the British to camps in Bengal. The unspeakable outburst of violence has been described with various expressions, such as “massacre”, “bitter battle” or “communal riot” reflecting different interpretations of what had happened. In the 21st century, the description “ethnic cleansing” would likely be considered as a legally appropriate term. Buddhists and Muslims alike see the 1942 violence as a key moment of their ongoing ethno-religious and political divide. The waves of communal clashes of 1942 have been poorly documented, sparsely investigated and rarely studied.2 They are not recorded in standard textbooks on Burma/Myanmar and, surprisingly, they were even absent from contemporary reports and articles that described Burma’s situation during and after World War 1 Officially named Rakhine State after 1989.

  • CAUGHT in the CROSSFIRE: Witness and Survivor Accounts of Burma Army Attacks and Human Rights Violations in Arakan State
    CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE: Witness and Survivor Accounts of Burma Army Attacks and Human Rights Violations in Arakan State WARNING: This report contains graphic photos Caught in the Crossfire At right: Photos of victims of a Burma Army attack in Arakan State on April 13, 2020. For more information on this particular airstrike, please see the photo on page 9. Caught in the Crossfire Free Burma Rangers About this Report This report is the result of 178 interviews conducted, recorded, and translated by Arakan members of the Free Burma Rangers (FBR). The Rangers conducted the interviews during 2019 and submitted the translations and corresponding videos and photos in June 2020. These interviews represent a fraction of the total incidences of Burma Army abuse that is being perpetrated on a grand scale in Arakan State. In March 2020, the Burmese government designated the Arakan Army as a terrorist organization. With this designation, locals fear that the Burmese soldiers will increase the use of torture and detention against civilians in Arakan State with total impunity. Acknowledgements FBR would like to acknowledge and thank the Arakan Rangers for their hard work and dedication in collecting these interviews regarding the ongoing conflict in Arakan State. This report would not be possible without their commitment to getting the news out. We are also grateful to the witnesses who shared their stories and without whose courage in coming forward this report would not have been possible. FBR continues to stand with the Arakan people and others under attack in northern Arakan State as well as Chin State where this particular conflict has spilled into.
