The worlds newest Muslim Insurgency is being waged in Burma & I Support it.

[waraabe]

that's what I am wondering.
what exactly does it mean to be radicalised?
most militias including this one form out of desperation when Muslims are massacred in their own countries either by interventionist western governments or by none-muslim majority in their countries.

most so called terrorist groups (excluding isis and Al-Shabab which I believe are just tools for western powers) are a result of all the injustice and covert genocide that most of the world are committing against Muslims. apparently we aren't allowed to defend ourselves and any retaliation is terrorism or the result of radicalisation.

if civilians fall victim to this group then I really couldn't care less. they didn't care when the innocent Muslims were being massacred and were therefore complicit with the crimes. its just karma. they should understand that better than anyone.

Radicalised= self defence

Insurgents being radicalized in Muslim countries is a running theme, including in Somalia! It's not out of hand to be worried about that. And I care, that's why I support their defense of themselves at this point in time.

It's very typical of you to complain about the lack of Western intervention. I almost guarantee were they involved, you wouldve complained about the opposite.

You are mistaking me for someone else because I have a track record to be pessimistic about anything the West does for the third world without having any national interest for themselves and zero interest in moral compass.

You tend to like to dislike me and subjugate me in this forum for no reason.

I have offered you an olive oil as a token of piece and all you've done is to take a shower on it.

I urge that we make peace here. I like you, you know

I would describe radicalisation as an individual or group who actively strives through violent means to establish an Islamic Caliphate/Emirate/Sultanate governed entirely by Sharia.

This insurgency doesn't appear to harbour such political motives therefore I wouldn't see them as falling under that definition.

 

[Tenacious]

Its about time they stand up for themselves and defend whats left of their people. I had no idea these budhists were so incredibly barbaric and evil. I've seen pictures of monks through children in trenches of fire.

Not only are they not attacking civilians, the government forces are literally slaughtering, raping and burning men, woman and children indiscriminately. Meanwhile this group is strategically striking active opposition without (so far) attacking innocent people and breaking moral conduct. Can we take a minute to appreciate possibly the most moral insurgency of 2016. I can't wait for mainstream media to start taking real interest and labelling them from insurgents to terrorists.

Does anyone actually know why the massacre is taking place? I mean, Buddhists are literally pacifists and thus it makes no sense how a majority would just go killing women and children.

Anyways, I support the insurgency.

Youtube Rohinyga muslims and you'll see. They are burned alive.

Let's be honest: if you are pissing off the Buddhists of all people, then you're clearly no good.

It's a shame what is happening to the Sunni Rohingya but it would be good for all of you to better understand the issue (i.e. who started the fight)

Yea, Buddhists are clearly not like other people, they're paragons of peace.

Btw this current round of violence started when a popular Buddhist monk posted a fake story that a Muslim man rape a Buddhist woman. This caused a riot to occur. Muslims were beaten, killed, their shops and homes burned. All over a story that turned out to be false. It's all being instigated by Buddhist monks. Nice religion of peace you have there.

Deadly attacks in October and November against security forces in Burma’s northern Arakan state are qualitatively different from anything that has occurred there in recent decades
International Crisis Group interviews with several members of the armed group that carried out attacks against government forces in October and November, as well as other sources, have revealed important new details about the situation in western Burma.

The group refers to itself as Harakah al-Yaqin, or Faith Movement in Arabic. It was established following the 2012 deadly riots between Buddhists and Muslims in 2012, which killed some 200 people and displaced over 120,000, almost all of them Muslim. Most have long been denied citizenship and face draconian restrictions on freedom of movement — limiting their access to government services and jobs.




This new armed group is overseen by a committee of Rohingya émigrés based in Mecca. The public face of its operations in northern Arakan, also called Rakhine, is Ata Ullah (known by several aliases), who is the main speaker in several videos released by the group. He was born in Karachi to a Rohingya father and grew up in Mecca. He is part of a group of 20 Rohingya who have international experience in modern guerrilla warfare and are leading operations on the ground in northern Arakan. Also with them is a senior Islamic scholar, Ziabur Rahman, a Saudi-educated Rohingya mufti with the authority to issue fatwas.



Burma Is Pursuing ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ of Rohingya Muslims, U.N. Official Says
Burmese authorities are carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya Muslim minority in the country’s western Arakan state, a senior U.N. official said.

To enhance its religious legitimacy further, al-Yaqin has obtained fatwas from senior clerics in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and elsewhere, giving backing to its cause under Islamic law. This has helped the group gain significant support among Rohingya in northern Arakan. It has spent at least two years training hundreds of local recruits in guerilla warfare and explosives. Several hundred Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh have also traveled to Arakan in recent weeks to join up. The current heavy-handed security response is very unlikely to dislodge al-Yaqin; rather, it is creating further despair and animosity among the population, which may further entrench violence.

The emergence of this well-organized and apparently well-funded group is a game-changer in the government’s efforts to address the complex challenges of Arakan state. Though there have been some small insurgent groups in recent decades, mostly based out of Bangladesh, in Burma — which is officially called Myanmar — the Rohingya have never been a radicalized population, and the majority have eschewed violence, seeing it as counterproductive to improving their lot. But impoverished and oppressed, they struggle to survive and have little hope for their future; over the past year, the sense of desperation has been increasing. The fact that more people in northern Arakan are now embracing violence reflects deep policy failures over many years, rather than any sort of inevitability.

Importantly, although there are some indications of training and solidarity links with international jihadist organizations, the aims and actions of al-Yaqin involve insurgency against security forces, rather than being terrorist or transnational jihadist. It has not attacked civilians or religious targets. Its stated aim is to secure the rights of the Rohingya as citizens within Burma — although its violent approach has set back that cause immensely.

Its tactics are sophisticated. On Oct. 9, it launched predawn attacks on three border police bases, including an audacious assault on the headquarters, a key security installation. The headquarters was overrun in a complex attack involving several hundred assailants that included planting improvised explosive devices and setting an ambush on the approach road, delaying the arrival of army reinforcements, while the attackers looted the armory. A further clash on Nov. 12 killed a senior army officer. These actions represent the actions of a determined, well-trained insurgency that will likely launch further attacks.

The military responded with a major operation to recover the looted weapons and capture those involved. Feeling its dignity affronted and taking casualties, the military employed disproportionate force and failed to adequately distinguish attackers from civilians. At least 1,500 homes have been burned down — almost certainly by the military, according to satellite analysis released by Human Rights Watchon Dec. 13. Some 30,000 have been internally displaced and 27,000 have so far sought refuge in Bangladesh. The area where the military is focusing its crackdown has been almost entirely sealed off, which has made it difficult to verify multiple allegations of serious human-rights abuses; but as more people arrive in Bangladesh, a clearer picture is starting to emerge.

Aung San Suu Kyi has said little publicly on the situation, has not traveled to the area or criticized the crackdown. The state media she controls have issued blanket denials of abuses, risking reinforcing the impunity of troops on the ground. Tensions with the Muslim world — including Malaysia and Bangladesh — are rising.

There are real risks that if the government mishandles the situation, for instance with the further use of excessive force, it will push more of the Muslim population in that area to support al-Yaqin, entrenching the armed group and a cycle of violence. It may also create conditions for radicalization that could be exploited by transnational jihadists to pursue their own agendas in Burma. A terrorist incident would inflame religious tensions across the country, with potentially disastrous consequences.

These dangerous outcomes can be avoided, but only if the security response is subordinated and integrated into a well-crafted political strategy that offers hope to the Rohingya, is sensitive to the deeply-felt grievances of Buddhist Arakanese, and prioritizes closer cooperation and intelligence sharing with countries in the region. The political space for such initiatives has now shrunk. Strong, public leadership is required from Aung San Suu Kyi to prevent the situation deteriorating.
