The Saffron Revolution and the 2012 Rakhine State riots further exacerbated the situation, with many Rohingya people being killed, injured, or displaced. The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army has also been involved in the conflict, with Ata Ullah leading the group in attacks against the Tatmadaw and Myanmar Army.
