ARSA insurgency

The ARSA insurgency refers to the armed conflict initiated by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), a militant group advocating for the rights of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine State. This group aims to address long-standing issues of discrimination, violence, and statelessness faced by the Rohingya. The insurgency gained international attention in 2017 when ARSA launched attacks on Myanmar's security forces, sparking a severe military response that led to widespread displacement and humanitarian crises. The situation highlights complex ethnic tensions, human rights concerns, and the challenge of finding a peaceful resolution in the region.
