Rohingya militants killed 100 Hindus in Myanmar; what you must know

Last year, ARSA militants attacked a Hindu village in Myanmar and rounded up some men, women, and children, the majority of whom were killed

Members of a Rohingya militant group allegedly massacred as many as 99 people, including women and children, in Hindu villages in Myanmar's Rakhine state in 2017, according to a new Amnesty International report. In mid-2017, the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) committed "serious human rights abuses... Including unlawful killings and abductions", said the report. At the same time, the ARSA engaged in "scores of clashes with security forces". The Myanmar government has blamed the ARSA for attacking border guards and sparking a violent crackdown which has seen hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims flee Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh.
