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 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
