3 Dunman Secondary School Preliminary Examination 2019 Humanities (Social Studies) / 4Express 5 Normal Academic How did Myanmar’s government respond to the Rohingya Crisis? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. Rohingya Muslims are an ethnic minority group of 1.1 million people living in Rakhine state, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Though Myanmar is a dominantly Buddhist country, Rohingya Muslims have their own culture. In 1982, Myanmar government passed a c itizenship law that left the Rohingya stateless and limited their rights to work, travel and practice their religion. In 2015, Aung San Suu Kyi was elected head of Myanmar, sharing power with military leaders to govern the country. Since then, violence against the Rohingya became more rampant in Rakhine state. The Myanmar government blamed the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), a terrorist group for the violence. The violence forced 700,000 Rohingya Muslims to escape into the neighbouring country of Bangladesh to live in dangerous refugee camps. Despite international efforts for repatriation*, the return of Rohingya refugees back to Myanmar was slow. United Nations (UN) had accused the Myanmar government of ethnic cleansing** and crimes against human ity, but the Myanmar government rejected all the accusations. Repatriation*: the voluntary return of refugees back to their home country Ethnic cleansing**: the mass killing and expulsion of members of an ethnic group by another group Map of Myanmar-Bangladesh border Study the following sources to assess how Myanmar’s government responded to the Rohingya Crisis.

4 Dunman Secondary School Preliminary Examination 2019 Humanities (Social Studies) / 4Express 5 Normal Academic Source A: A cartoon drawn to show Aung San Suu Kyi’s response to developments in Rakhine state, Myanmar in September 2017. *Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her efforts to introduce democracy and human rights in Myanmar. Source B: Adapted from a speech delivered by Aung San Suu Kyi at the 43rd Singapore Lecture, organized by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS)-Yusof Ishak Institute in August 2018. We have formed a committee to ensure the return of peace and stability in Rakhine. We approached former UN Secretary -General Kofi Annan for advice on lasting solutions. Myanmar has implemented 82 out of its 88 recommendations but there are multiple challenges. Similarly, we hope to work with Bangladesh to effect the voluntary, safe and dignified return of displaced persons from northern Rakhine. Potential resettlement sites have been mapped out and Myanmar was ready to receive Rohingya returnees since 23 Jan 2017. Peace Prize*

5 Dunman Secondary School Preliminary Examination 2019 Humanities (Social Studies) / 4Express 5 Normal Academic Source C: Adapted from a press statement on the official Myanmar government website in late 2017. Recently, there has been news releases based on false accusations over Myanmar made by some international countries and foreign media. Actually, the violence was caused by 4,000 ARSA extremist terrorists who attacked 30 official police outposts and a military camp in Rakhine state. At the time of outbreak of the terrorist attacks, government security forces helped local residents evacuate to safer places, regardless of their race and religion. And those displaced people were supported with provisions and gi ven medical treatments by mobile health teams. Provisions and humanitarian aid donated by people and communities across the nation were delivered by Myanmar military forces’ helicopters, vessels and motor vehicles. Source D: Adapted from a twitter feed update by ARSA in 2018. Although Aung San Suu Kyi blatantly lied to the international community that ‘clearance’ operations against Rohingya has stopped since 2017, the Myanmar terrorist government and Buddhist terrorist army have never sto pped committing acts of attacking Rohingya villages, raping women, looting their lands and domestic animals. Thousands of Rohingya are still fleeing to escape from endless inhumane persecution. The Myanmar government is further blocking and delaying inter national organisations including non -government organizations (NGO), foreign media and UN from entering Rakhine state with the ill-intention not to witness the actual situation on the ground. It is evident that the Myanmar terrorist government is not a bit interested in Rohingya repatriation but just playing dirty politics with the international community, including Bangladesh.
