Abstract

The article discusses the allegations, denials, and silence surrounding the burning of Buthidaung in Myanmar's Rakhine State. The Arakan Army (AA) captured the town, and Rohingya activists accused the AA of arson and forced displacement. The AA denied the allegations and blamed the fires on regime air strikes. The article highlights the complex dynamics and reactions from different groups, including resistance organizations and netizens, and emphasizes the need for impartial investigations to address the allegations and prevent further sectarian violence.
