Contexte |
In Rakhine State, tensions between the Buddhist majority and a Muslim minority have simmered since widespread outbreaks of violence in 2012 and 2013. On October 9th 2016, violence returned, as a group of Muslims launched attacks on three Border Guard Police (BGP) posts in Northern Rakhine State. The incident triggered sweeping clearance operations that raided villages, arrested about 600 suspects and led to the death of about a hundred local Muslims. According to the UNHCR, the heavy-handed military response led to over 70’000 Muslims fleeing to neighbouring Bangladesh, and an estimated 30’000 Internally displaced. The situation has resulted in restricted movement for affected communities in general, an increase in protection incidents, heightened risk for GBV and limited access to health services. |
