flag Bangladesh's Border Guard denies supporting Rohingya extremists, citing crackdowns and AA's declining strength.

flag Bangladesh's Border Guard (BGB) has denied allegations by Myanmar’s Arakan Army that it supports extremist Rohingya groups, stating it has no ties to ARSA or RSO and has actively dismantled their networks, including arresting key figures. flag Since Myanmar’s ceasefire collapsed in late 2023, the BGB has intensified border patrols along the Naf River and frontier hills, deployed troops in six-hour shifts, and reinforced camps. flag It cited internal AA struggles—desertions, coordination issues, food shortages, and abuses against Rohingya and other minorities—as signs of declining strength, noting defections and civilian flight into Bangladesh. flag The BGB asserted ARSA operates from Myanmar, not Bangladesh, and that AA-planted landmines make cross-border attacks from Bangladeshi territory unlikely. flag It urged the international community to recognize AA abuses and support safe, voluntary Rohingya repatriation while reaffirming its commitment to border security and humanitarian protection.
