Burma in blood



After a whole century in 1942, Japan invaded Burma pushing out the British as the British retreated. Britain liberated Burma from      Japanese Occupation with the help of          Burmese nationalists led by Aung San and Rohingya fighters. Rohingya felt betrayed as the British didn't fulfil a promise of autonomy for Arakan. In 1948, tension increased           between government of newly independent. Burma and Rohingya, many of whom wanted  Arakan to join Muslim majority Pakistan. The government retaliated by ostracizing the    Rohingya, including removing Rohingya civil servant. Some Rohingya resist the government led by arm group called Mujahid. The dispute continues and in 1991, more than 250,000 Rohingya refugee fled what they said was forced labors rape and religious persecution at the hand of Myanmar Army. The Army said it was trying to bring order to Rakhine ( state in Myanmar).
From 1992 to 1997, around 230,000 Rohingya Muslims returned to Arakan now known as Rakhine under another repatriation agreement. In 2012, Fighting between Rohingya 8 Rakhine Buddhists, killed more than 100 people, mostly Rohingya. Many people were compelled to driven into Bangladesh. 

 Nearly 150,000 were forced into camps in           Rakhine, Rohingya militant group Harakah al-                             Yaqin attacked border guarder posts, killing 9  soldiers.
