Hundreds of Muslim ethnic minority Rohingyas have been conscripted to fight from Myanmar’s embattled military junta, the BBC has learnt.
Several recruits said that army officers had ordered young Rohingya men living in camps for the internally displaced to report for military training.
The same military killed thousands of Muslim Rohingyas and drove 700,000 out of the country nearly seven years ago.
Those who remain in Myanmar are denied citizenship and are subjected to a range of discriminatory restrictions.

That's like hearing black slaves were used in the Confederate army.
Rohingyas😭2017-2024😢😢
0:41 "Possible genocide" is an evil phrase. Shame BBC. 30,000 were murdered, tens of thousands of mothers and daughters raped, pre-modern villages burned, >1 million exiled, 600,000 who remain denied citizenship and persecuted by the majority Burmese. The British were the ones to draw this map of their former colony, to explicitly single out these 2 million Muslims in a majority-Buddhist state. Not to mention, those Buddhists are still fighting each other too since independence from the UK. The British drew up Palestine. The British drew up Egypt, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Sudan, a third of Africa. The French drew up Syria, Lebanon, Algeria. The Belgians drew up the Congo. Spanish and Portuguese drew up South and Central America. The majority of conflicts, BBC, that have taken place since the dissolution of your former empire have taken place in former European colonial territories.
Please safe Rohingya….😢😢😢😢
Beautiful anchor 🥰🥰 i love you 😍
😢😢😢 Free Free Arkan
If only the burmese people have the guts to oppose their government since the start of the coup everything will be much easier for the R2P to involve. But f*ck R2P mostly third world countries have to depend on their own.
เรื่องการปกครองผมก็แนะนำแบบนาโต้แนะนำมา
Clearly the Junta are in very deep trouble. Act of disperation
Then rohing turn back 🤭
Myanmar junta backed by China. China getting rid of Uyghurs Muslims in East turkestan.
This is the truth of how evil is Myanmar junta because first they’ll abuse them , killing them ,forcing them out of the country and now they’re being drafted for war which they’re has no business to be involved
Rohingya people should not fall into the Junta trape. Don't believe junta, there time about to end otherwise Rohingya people suffer in future by AA.
I am a Rohingya Muslim. I live in a Rohingya camp in Bangladesh. We came to Bangladesh in 2017😢. How much more pain and torture will we endure?😢 There are few remaining Rohingya Muslims in the country. Buddhist team AA is torturing and killing Rohingya Muslims every day😢. There is no such day that Rohingyas do not die😢. We are human too. We also want to be like everyone else. We all want to float. How much more pain and torture will we punish?😢😢😢Aren't we human?😢😢We all want to float. We want to be like everyone else 😢😢😢😢😢
They are crazy about Palestine but not of Rohingya. Why? Because it's not Jews?
Thats as if the nazi germany wanted to draft the jews. "Yeah, we are sorry we genocided you because of your ethnicity and religion but can you please now help us in the war we are loosing :)"
Justice for the Rohingya people 😢😢😢
So they recruiting jihadies, Govt of Bharat must take note.
こんちにたは。
Fake news.
للاسف لا أحد يتظاهر من أجل الروهينجا مثل الفلسطينيين
The news sent by the bbc reporter from Bangkok is very different from the situation on the ground. The war in Rakhine is caused by the oppressive principles of the Burmese army. The Arakan army AA, which is at war with the Burmese army, is not a terrorist group.
Rohingya refugees in Malaysia everyone has no ducument Malaysia now. Everyone not have work and no place Malaysia
Rohingya refugees situation in Malaysia is very bad

Suez Canal Egypt
They should be trained and sent back to Burma to defend their own territory of rackine.
Juntas are suffering heavy losses calling for Thailand and Rhohingya 😂to help them
Nobody is counting on anything from Rohingya in this fight period lol 😂 What can Rohingya can contribute to this war They are starving and weakened mentally, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and Physically 😢
A pathetic country indeed. 3rd world.
If the rohingya want the land they should join the rebel to fight the junta too
kenapa America tidak mahu campur tangan tidak seperti apa yg berlaku di negara islam
Everyone always talking about “Israeli genocide against the Palestinians”, “Israeli war crimes”, and “Israeli human rights violations”, yet hardly anyone ever talks about this or what China is doing to the Uyghurs.
The double standards are disgusting.
Refuse!
❤
Who else. They are muslims, there is no loyalty. Please send back from malaysia and indonesia
There really is no such thing as Rohingya.
It's just a name given to impersonate the people of Bangladesh.
The world knows this
If you don't know, the Rohingya people are part of the Burmese ethnic group
Not really
Bangladesh people😎😎
What a unique dress ❤
Sometimes we need to think twice,even the the golden lady shunned them
Et ils ont relations diplomatiques avec Russie! Sonne connu????
