New Delhi: The Myanmar Air Force has started indiscriminate bombing of populated areas to stop the advance of the rebel alliance. Thousands of people have been displaced by the junta’s military junta in the last 48 hours in several towns in Rakhine state bordering India and Bangladesh. As a result, there is a fear of new refugee infiltration into Northeast India.
For the last decade and a half, there has been a group conflict in Rakhine state, known as Myanmar’s ‘Rohingya land’. The Brotherhood Alliance, a new coalition of three rebel groups – the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), the Arakan Army (AA) and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) – launched a campaign against the junta government in November. The name of the operation is ‘Operation 1027’.
