This book offers a comprehensive account of the Rohingya crisis from geopolitical and historical contexts. It unveils the conspiracies of the Burmese state authorities, military and state sponsored non-state actors against the innocent Rohingya population subjecting them to systematic ethnic, religious and political persecution, culminating into one of the gravest genocides of modern era, while denying their existence and historicity.

These undeniable facts caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the region, where thousands of innocent Rohingya lost their lives, and a bulk of them risking their lives in searching of safe havens in the shores of the neighbouring countries and ended up stirring an enormous challenge for the international community.

This great work entitled “ROHINGYA OF THE ARAKAN: Conflict, Crisis and Solutions” is presenting an in-depth account of the Rohingya crisis and its genuine long term solutions, written by a Rohingya leader who has fought through the crisis for more than a half century, to serve the Rohingya people and their cause in order to determine and restore their deserved rights in their homeland of Arakan.
