Rohingya conflict

The Rohingya conflict is an ongoing conflict in the northern part of Rakhine State, Myanmar (formerly known as Arakan, Burma), characterised by sectarian violence between the Rohingya Muslim and Rakhine Buddhist communities, a military crackdown on Rohingya civilians by Myanmar's security forces, and militant attacks by Rohingya insurgents in Buthidaung, Maungdaw, and Rathedaung Townships, which border Bangladesh.
