3 Is the Myanmar government responsible for the violence during the Rohingya Crisis? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you answer some of the questions. The Rohingya are stateless Muslims who are hated by many in Myanmar as illegal immigrants. Most of them lived in the Rakhine state alongside Buddhists for decades. The Myanmar government has denied them citizenship, placed restrictions on their freedom of movement and access to basic services. The Rohingyas, however, feel that they are a part of Myanmar as they have been living in Myanmar for almost a century and demand for equal rights just like the Buddhist majority. This resulted in many conflicts between the two religious groups. In 2012, there were riots between the Muslims and the Buddhists with death on both sides. In 2015, thousands of Rohingya started fleeing Myanmar to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia due to the worsening conflict. The UN and other Human Rights Organisations have tried to raise international awareness regarding the plight of the Rohingyas in Myanmar, with limited success. In August 2017, clashes broke out after a militant group known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Arm
