He also proposed that those who return be guaranteed Burmese citizenship. People in disaster-prone Burma A reparation deal was made between Burma and Bangladesh in 2017 but were temporarily displaced by has been postponed due to international worry for Rohingya safety in monsoon seasonal floods in their home country. 2018 Context Myanmar (Burma) is a highly ethnically diverse country, consisting of 7 states and headed by de facto leader State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi since free elections in 2015. Burma’s history of British colonisation has had a detrimental effect on internal ethnic divisions, and following independence in 1948 intercultural violence erupted between the national Government army (Tatmadaw) and ethnic opposition armies. In the subsequent years, ethnic tensions remained and from 1962 to 2011 Burma was under the rule of a highly repressive military junta. Most of the population identifies at Buddhist (88%). Prevalent in the media is the Rohingya crisis, whereby roughly 900,000 Muslims have fled to Bangladesh since early 2017 following growing attacks by the Government of Myanmar military that claim they are dispelling terrorists, however there is mounting evidence to suggest that religion plays a significant role and has been deemed as “ethnic cleansing”. Less well documented is the persecution of Christians who make up 6.2% of the Burmese population that claim they are being attacked by the junta because of their faith. There are numerous ethnic armies operating in Burma and regular clashes with the Tatmadaw has displaced thousands of civilians over the decades succeeding the end of British rule. Ethnic Arms Operations (EAOs) Active in Burma › Kachin Independence Army (KIA) was formed by soldiers that defected from the regime army in 1962 to fight for self-determination. › Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) signed a ceasefire with the Tatmadaw in 2015 however it was violated in 2018, leading to armed clashes. › Arakan Liberation Army (ALA) has operated in Rakhine state since 2009. › Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) are a newly formed group who claimed responsibility for the attacks in 2017 that catalysed the ongoing Rohingya crisis. › Shan State Army-South (SSA-S) is one of the largest insurgent groups in Burma. › Shan State Army-North (SSA-N) emerged following alliance with the Communist Party of Burma and an internal split in SSA in 1996. › Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) operates in Tawngpeng, Shan State, aiming for self-determination for the Ta’ang people. Map of Burma Administrative Divisions › The Northern Alliance is a military coalition HART’s partner Shan Women’s Action Network (SWAN) is located between ALA, KIA, Kokang’s Myanmar National in Shan State, and also provides assistance to displaced Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), and TNLA populations in Thailand. against the Tatmadaw. Health and Hope, run by Dr SaSa is located in Chin State. Doh Say works mainly in Karenni (Kayah) state. Latest Developments Concerns for Christians Continue as Burma Brutalises Minorities A Buddhist mob of 50 people attacked Christians celebrating Christmas on December 24th in Rakhine state in Burma, sending a priest to the hospital. According to a Burma Human Rights Network press release, there is a long history of persecution of non-Buddhist in the country, and recent events only further demonstrate the dangers of religious nationalism in Burma. As such, authorities must guarantee the protection of human rights for minorities and hold those responsible for violations accountable. This incident is indicative of the rising trend of persecution of Christians (and other religious minorities) in Burma. Police Crackdown on Peaceful Protesters in Karenni State Police continue crackdown on peaceful protesters in Karenni state. An estimated 6000 people, majority ethnic Karenni, marched through Loikaw on Myanmar’s Union Day (February 12) asking for the removal of a statute of General Aung San from Loikaw, and for the protection of ethnic rights in Burma. The Statue of general Aung San was installed in Loikaw by Karenni State government. Three days before the unveiling, local administration issued a ban on peaceful assembly in various locations around Loikaw (the capital of Kayah state). Despite the ban Karenni activists gave public speeches, handed out pamphlets about Karenni history, and demanded that general Aung San’s promise of federal democracy be fulfilled buy the Burmese military and NLD government. Additionally, civil society organizations expressed their dismay with the statue by drawing from Burman history and ultimately citing burmanization- a term which refers to the states attempt to erase ethnic nationalities and impose Burman cultural norms on all- as their reasoning. Thought the protests are peaceful and lawful, protesters were met by police with excessive force including water cannons and rubber bullets, and has left 82 people arrested. Clashes at the Border Cause for Concern The United Nations has expressed concern over the ongoing situation on the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh as the Burmese army continues to clash with Buddhist rebel groups in Rakhine State. These clashes have caused panic and fear among Rohingya IDP’s who have been living in a limbo on the border between Burma and Bangladesh, and now are caught in the crosslines of fighting between the military and Arakan army. UN Rights Envoy Calls for Accountability in Rohingya Genocide A United Nations human rights investigator has stated that the Burmese Army chef should be prosecuted for genocide against the Rohingya. The special rapporteur on human rights in Burma, Yanghee Lee, added that holding perpetrators of crimes against humanity and war accountable is necessary before refugees can return to their homes in affected areas. 13 Police Officers Killed in Rakhine State Arakan Army raid on police post in Rakhine state left 13 policemen killed. Khine Thu Kha, the spokesperson for the rebels, stated that the attacks were in response to a Burmese military attack against Arakan Army recently, which also targeted civilians.

  • Myanmar: Conflicts and Human Rights Violations Continue to Cause Displacement
    5 March 2009 Myanmar: Conflicts and human rights violations continue to cause displacement Displacement as a result of conflict and human rights violations continued in Myanmar in 2008. An estimated 66,000 people from ethnic minority communities in eastern Myanmar were forced to become displaced in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict and human rights abuses. As of October 2008, there were at least 451,000 people reported to be inter- nally displaced in the rural areas of eastern Myanmar. This is however a conservative fig- ure, and there is no information available on figures for internally displaced people (IDPs) in several parts of the country. In 2008, the displacement crisis continued to be most acute in Kayin (Karen) State in the east of the country where an intense offensive by the Myanmar army against ethnic insur- gent groups had been ongoing since late 2005. As of October 2008, there were reportedly over 100,000 IDPs in the state. New displacement was also reported in 2008 in western Myanmar’s Chin State as a result of human rights violations and severe food insecurity. People also continued to be displaced in some parts of the country due to a combination of coercive measures such as forced la- bour and land confiscation that left them with no choice but to migrate, often in the context of state-sponsored development initiatives. IDPs living in the areas of Myanmar still affected by armed conflict between the army and insurgent groups remained the most vulnerable, with their priority needs tending to be re- lated to physical security, food, shelter, health and education.

  • Myanmar: the Country That ‘Has It All’
    Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol. 4 Issue. 1 June 2020 pp. 128 – 139 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v4i1.17922 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Myanmar: the country that ‘has it all’ Susan Banki Department of Sociology and Social Policy - the University of Sydney Email: [email protected] Abstract For scholars of Southeast Asia interested in human rights, Myanmar is a country that ‘has it all.’ I use this tongue-in-cheek expression to suggest the myriad ways that the country remains mired in structural challenges that inform its current human rights problems. In this paper, I point out the country’s most glaring structural challenges and link these to its most pressing human rights problems. A brief section about Myanmar in the context of COVID-19 offers the same conclusion as the rest of the article: while there is variance in the actors targeted and the degree of suppression, the underlying patterns of oppression remain unchanged over time. Acknowledgements: The author would like to thank Nyi Nyi Kyaw for reviewing a draft of this paper and offering helpful comments. I. INTRODUCTION From its independence to the present day, one can look to Myanmar to observe multiple human rights trajectories, which today play out in myriad violations and responses in nearly all regions of the country. With natural resources of jade and teak, a rich cultural heritage with associated physical sites, and a central, if sandwiched, geopolitical location, one might imagine that the moniker I have given the country, ‘The country that has it all’ is a positive one.

  • 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.

  • ACLED Methodology and Coding Decisions Around Political Violence in Myanmar
    ACLED Methodology and Coding Decisions around Political Violence in Myanmar Coding political violence in Myanmar poses several methodological challenges given the complexity of the many conflicts in the country. In addition to armed conflict between the military and various ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) in the borderlands, the military in recent years has used nationlist sentiments to wage a campaign of violence and discrimination against Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state. Further, in the country’s heartland, demonstrations have persisted not just over land and labor issues, but also to demand changes to the military-drafted 2008 constitution. A reference map of the country can be found at the end of this document. Shortly after Myanmar gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1948, several ethnic groups took up arms against the state, demanding equality and the right to self-determination. Divisions between ethnic groups had long been fostered by the colonial practice of ‘divide-and-rule’. This resulted in the center of the country being governed separately from the frontier areas where many ethnic minorities reside. Despite the signing of the Panglong Agreement prior to 1 independence, the failure of the central government to address ethnic concerns led to rebellions by Karen rebels in 1949 and by Kachin rebels in the early 1960s. Other ethnic minorities also took up arms during this period. In March 1962, the military seized power in a coup. It continued with a ‘divide-and-rule’ approach in its dealings with ethnic armed groups, and further adopted a policy of ‘four cuts’, which aimed to eliminate local support for armed groups (Smith, 1991).
