Rakhine State Needs Assessment September 2015
Rakhine State Needs Assessment September 2015 This document is published by the Center for Diversity and National Harmony with the support of the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund. Publisher : Center for Diversity and National Harmony No. 11, Shweli Street, Kamayut Township, Yangon. Offset : Public ation Date : September 2015 © All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Rakhine State, one of the poorest regions in Myanmar, has been plagued by communal problems since the turn of the 20th century which, coupled with protracted underdevelopment, have kept residents in a state of dire need. This regrettable situation was compounded from 2012 to 2014, when violent communal riots between members of the Muslim and Rakhine communities erupted in various parts of the state. Since the middle of 2012, the Myanmar government, international organisations and non-governmen- tal organisations (NGOs) have been involved in providing humanitarian assistance to internally dis- placed and conflict-affected persons, undertaking development projects and conflict prevention activ- ities. Despite these efforts, tensions between the two communities remain a source of great concern, and many in the international community continue to view the Rakhine issue as the biggest stumbling block in Myanmar’s reform process. The persistence of communal tensions signaled a need to address one of the root causes of conflict: crushing poverty. However, even as various stakeholders have attempted to restore normalcy in the state, they have done so without a comprehensive needs assessment to guide them. In an attempt to fill this gap, the Center for Diversity and National Harmony (CDNH) undertook the task of developing a source of baseline information on Rakhine State, which all stakeholders can draw on when providing humanitarian and development assistance as well as when working on conflict prevention in the state. -

Rakhine State – in Need of Fundamental Solutions
Rakhine State – In Need of Fundamental Solutions Discussion Paper Prepared for Proximity Designs | Myanmar February 24, 2017 (revised April 24, 2017) This policy note was written by David Dapice ([email protected]) following trips to the region in January, July, and December 2016. The views expressed herein are the author’s alone and do not necessarily reflect those of Proximity, the Government of the Union of Myanmar, or Harvard University. Issues discussed in this paper are aimed to facilitate dialogue among the citizens of Myanmar, who are ultimately responsible for making decisions regarding the country’s policy choices. This piece, along with other recent Ash-Proximity reports on Myanmar, is posted at http://ash.harvard.edu/journal-articles and www.ash.harvard.edu/myanmar-program Rakhine State – In Need of Fundamental Solutions Page 2 of 6 Context Rakhine State is in a state of conflict. There is a relatively small number of mostly local, Islamic trained insurgents who are attacking military and police units primarily in Maungdaw, a township in the north next to Bangladesh.1 These extremists are operating under the cover of one million desperately poor Muslims who have been locked up in their township for four years. By mixing in with the villagers, it is impossible to fight a “clean” battle; one army major was killed when he had his troops cease fire on women and children, but the extremists were hidden in the group and shot him.2 There is said to be financial support coming from abroad, distributed through Imams in some of the mosques. -

Northern Rakhine State – Damage Assessment Map and Sample Satellite Imagery
UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar established by HRC resolution 34/22 Northern Rakhine State – damage assessment map and sample satellite imagery 1. The map shows areas with visible destruction, through burning, of houses, other structures and vegetation in the three northern Townships (Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Rathedaung) of Rakhine State. The map was developed through the analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery collected on multiple dates between 25 August 2017 and 18 March 2018. Destruction is represented by coloured dots, with colours corresponding to the date range when visible destruction was detected. Due to cloud cover and satellite overpass range, damage is detected within a date range. The date range refers to damage detection, as opposed to when it actually occurred. 2. Two satellite images from Thit Tone Nar Gwa Son village tract, northern Maungdaw Township. Image 1, taken on 25 May 2017, shows intact houses and other village structures and farmland. Image 2, taken on 13 February 2018, shows burned Rohingya houses and other structures, terrain clearance and new construction. Information published by the Myanmar Government’s Union Enterprise for Humanitarian Assistance, Resettlement and Development in Rakhine, dated 6 December 2017, lists the names of four ethnic Mro villages where 86 houses will be built “near Thittonena Gwa Sone village”, in “Thittonena Gwa Sone” village tract. See: http://rakhine.unionenterprise.org/latest-news-en/235-nearly-800-houses-under-construction-for- displaced-villagers-in-maungtaw 3. Two satellite images from Myin Hlut village tract, southern Maungdaw Township. Image 3, taken on 9 January 2018, shows burned Rohingya houses, other village structures and vegetation (within the red lines), and also remaining intact houses, structures and vegetation (outside of the red lines). -
