.... The Mujahideen separatist movements (1947-70) [ edit]
The Mujahideen insurgency in Arakan (1947-1961) [ edit]A widespread armed insurgency started with the formation of a political party Jami-a-tul Ulema-e Islam led by the Chairman Omra Meah with the material support of Ulnar Mohammad Muzahid Khan and Molnar Ibrahim. [5] The ambition of the Mujahideen insurgency was to merge the Mayu frontier district of Arakan into East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Before the independence of Burma, in May 1946, some Muslim leaders from Arakan addressed themselves to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, and asked his assistance in annexing of the Mayu region to Pakistan which was about to be formed. [2] Two months later, North Arakan Muslim League was founded in Akyab (modern: Sittwe, capital of Arakan State), it, too demanding annexation to Pakistan. [2] However, the proposal was reportedly denied by Jinnah and did not materialise.
On the other hand, the Burmese central government refused to grant a separate Muslim state in the Mayu region where two townships ( Buthidaung and Maungdaw) lie. As a consequence, the Mujahids from Northern Arakan declared jihad on Burma.

Military Expansions and connections with Taliban and Al-Qaeda (1988-2011) [ edit]The military camps of the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO) were located in the Cox's Bazaar district in southern Bangladesh. RSO possessed a large number of light machine-guns, AK-47 assault rifles, RPG-2 rocket launchers, claymore mines and explosives according to a field report conducted by a famous correspondent Bertil Lintner in 1991. [15] Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front (ARIF) was mostly equipped with UK-made 9mm Sterling L2A3 sub-machine guns, M-16 assault rifles and point-303 rifles. [15] Afghan's Taliban instructors were seen in some of the RSO camps along the Bangladesh-Burma border, while nearly 100 RSO rebels were reported to be undergoing training in the Afghan province of Khost with Hizb-e-Islami Mujahideen. [12] [14]
Among the more than 60 videotapes obtained by CNN from Al-Qaeda's archives in Afghanistan in August 2002, one video showed that Muslim allies from "Burma" got training in Afghanistan. Some video tapes were shot in RSO camps in Bangladesh. [14] These videos which show the linkage between Al-Qaeda and Rohingya insurgents were shot in 1990s. [12] [14] [16] Besides, RSO recruited many Rohingya guerrillas. According to Asian intelligence sources, Rohingya recruits were paid 30,000 Bangladeshi taka ($525) on joining and then 10,000 taka ($175) per month. The families of recruits killed in action were offered 100,000 taka ($1,750). Rohingya recruits, believed to be quite substantial in numbers, were taken to Pakistan, where they were trained and sent on further to military camps in Afghanistan.

...
Riots in Arakan happened for the second time in the last week of October 2012. Just a few weeks after the riots, military activities of Rohingya rebels appeared again. On 7 November 2012, one soldier from the Burmese Army was reportedly killed and three others were captured by the Muslim rebels, supposedly an armed group of the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), in their guerrilla offensive against the Burmese army in northern Maungdaw township on the Burma-Bangladesh border. [27] On 11 November 2012, fighting between the Burmese army and an unknown armed group, widely suspected as the Muslim rebels, was again taken place near Maungdaw on the western frontier of Burma. [
