In response to ongoing violence and human rights violations committed by the Arakan Army (ULA/AA) against the Rohingya community, 26 Rohingya organizations released a statement on May 29, urging that strong and decisive action be taken against the top leadership of the United League of Arakan/ Arakan Army (ULA/AA).
The statement questioned why the international community, which has sanctioned the Myanmar military for committing genocide against the Rohingya, has yet to take similar action against the United League of Arakan/ Arakan Army (ULA/AA), which is now perpetrating fresh violence against the same population.
The 26 organizations condemned the actions of the Arakan Army (AA), accusing it of burning and destroying Rohingya villages and homes in northern Rakhine State, displacing over 200,000 people, and forcing approximately 111,800 to flee to Bangladesh for safety.
The statement also referenced incidents from early May, including the sinking of boats carrying fleeing Rohingya refugees and cases of arrest, highlighting the need for the international community to act and not remain indifferent. It emphasized that many are fleeing due to extreme violence, persecution, starvation, and desperation.
